Adrian Mendoza

Stories are often interpreted through artistic creations; some that are made up, and some that are true. With all these fragments that come into my mind, and exit through my wounds, I thought I'd tell you a short story. It's entirely up to the viewer to determine what is real, and what is false. ...

Angela Holmes

Any time I am using my spirit, soul or body in relation to creativity, it seems to me a wonderful release chemically.

I was created by a Beautiful ...

Chris Cook

I am an artist of constant development and determination to express what the face hides but soul shows. Believer in all things impossible, romanticizing in photographs, my images come to life with the emotion I breathe into them. In moments of clarity and sense of self acceptance I give my concepts wings to fly, seizing the essence of that moment ...

Danetta Cox Cordova

I love to concentrate on a drawing until my head hurts, or just mess around with color for hours. Playing around with color feels like being 5 years old again. I like to do botanical studies, children’s story illustrations and drawings of Native American photos from 100 years ago. But it is always good to try new ...

Dawn Trook

Trained first as a poet, my visual art comes from deep experience that words fall short or act as subterfuge. Image--line/form/color--say for us what we cannot say with words. I work in water-soluble oil pastels, collage and found objects as well as image-based performance art. My process is to ask certain parts within my body to reveal secrets that I ...

Eulalia Gamez

I have a lot of emotions and most of them can be considered too depressing or extremely happy or overly angry. They are things that I, myself could never act out on, things that dig at me and that I will always be afraid of talking about, things I can't write and things I can't say, I paint them, I ...

Jordan Kitagawa

Every year I see my works approaching closer in likeness of what I visualize in my head. The art I create is not typical of a woman - I do not dabble in supposedly feminine things such as cute creatures, flowers, or bright things.

Laura Alvarez

I move with ease from one series of subject material to another, from figural to floral, still life, to landscape. It keeps the challenge fresh. In the end, it's all composition, shades of light and dark in warm or cool colors. A celebration of natural beauty on spring or winter and the effects it has on people. A reverence for ...

Marina

She has always been the kind of person to doodle during class or work, but in the last year has worked hard to find her illustrative style in drawing. Occasionally she'll create a painting, but drawing is more her thing. You'll often find her sitting in a coffee shop, headphones in, and pen to the paper. Many ...

Nancy Kissack

I express my life's adventures through the lens of my camera.

Rick Morrison

I do art to satisfy my creative side. I particularly like to sculpt but without a handily available foundry for bronzes or a kiln for ceramic pieces, I mostly paint.

Sandee Smith

I paint because, for me, it is an imperative. I have to create, it's like breathing for me.

I usually use oils, it was the medium I ...
