Jim Bloom

“to handle the stuff is not to be afraid, and know its going to turn into something.”

Margaret Zox Brown

“My inspirations are many; the beauty I see in nature, the serenity I feel when observing a Still Life or the intrinsic nature of the human spirit.”

Mark Bullen

“As a visual artist, I express myself in pictures, not in words. My paintings are a metaphor for the life I see and feel around me.”

Christopher Callahan

“I don't talk about my work. What the viewer walks away with is for them, my words shouldn't influence their experience.”

Marjorie Grigonis

“My abstract drawings and paintings are the visual record of exploration, criticism, trial and error, and discovery.”

Bryan Guglielmi

“Through my art I have found an organized way to express myself in an unorganized world.”

Nicolas King

“My work may be seen as a shared experience of half-a-century of daily exposure and study of the greatest artists in the world be they Benin or French at The Barnes Foundation. ”

William Knight

“If the sculpture and the viewer connect through a work's visual emotion, the sculpture becomes "art." ”

Gail S. Kotel

“My newest direction breaks through the glass taking the face apart while holding it together, creating yet another dimension of tension, moving in front, behind and out from the window. ”

Katherine Kurtz

“I explore with paint and brushes, palette knife, pencils, scrapers and scratching tools. If I am lucky and can hold my intentions loosely enough, the painting itself takes over. ”

Umberto Nigi

Nigi's maturity and refinement seen through his aggressive simplicity defines his departure from his mentor Mark Rothko.

Margaret Oechsli

“There is a complex, hidden matrix underlying our fragile human environment that only photomicrography can view.”

Alfred Ortega

“I must become comfortable with uncertainty, make a mark and respond to it and go into action with faith, enjoy the process awake, in awe of it all.”

Petros Pappalas

“As a painter, my interaction with the canvas is vastly the result of a dialogue, one that opens up to me during the actual painting process.”

Salvador Di Quinzio

“The creation of pictorial bridges that connect real and imaginary worlds”

Razza

“What motivates me is a strong desire to create, to empathize with the world, and find the essence of that experience in some painterly vision.”

Karl Frank Slocum

“As a designer, I've blended multiple styles into organic contemporary designs while holding to traditional nuances.”

Clintel Steed

“While technology replaces the historically ubiquitous arrangements of fruit there is also the design of the computer itself - the square inside of a square idea.”

R. Michael Walsh

Walsh’s paintings are unique and haunting. Emotionally jarring, they are filled with Biblical and mystical imagery and figures.
