Sublime

Sublime

Artworj by Katy Kaydash

Sub-lime: adjective; of such excellence, grandeur, or beauty as to inspire great admiration or awe.

Beauty comes within everything we encounter. Whether or not we think it’s beautiful is a different story. As an artist I live to inspire and find beauty all around me. That’s why artists look upon life differently and see what the ordinary person cannot.

Ever since I was a child, I looked to art as a form of inspiration. Art was always my calling however, I hadn’t taken it upon myself to explore to depths of it until I reached high school. Upon my entering high school, I auditioned for the STAR Academy Art Magnet Program. I can honestly say this program changed my life in many ways. I learned not only composition, but proportion, technique, and value…

Love’s shining Light

Love’s shining Light

Artwork by Jennifer Hagens a.k.a. Aurora

I paint under the name Aurora. She is the Goddess of Light and this name has multiple meanings; painting is playing with light and dark and the symbolic meaning is that I wish to bring light into the world through my works of beauty, color and spirit. All my works are oil on canvas. The images I paint are in the tradition of magical realism with lots of symbolism and the traditional techniques of the old masters. It is a direction in art in which an attempt is made to connect this reality to a higher reality, so hallucinatory images or dream effects occur. The imagery originate from my deep, intense feelings that want to be portrayed…

Man’s Best Friend

Artwork by Subali Ashok

I first began to draw when when I was 6 it was mostly fairytales snow white, Cinderella, beauty and the beast because that’s what I could relate to the most back then my life was like a fairytale.

I’ve been home schooled my whole life when I look back, I was never bored like most people would think, it was more like each and every day of my life was a new adventure, a mystery, like I don’t know what’s going to happen next …

Campesina Collecting Water

Campesina Collecting Water

Artwork by Luis E Sevilla

I’m a 65 years young men with a gift of God at birth. I discover that I was able to draw at a very early age, I’ll guest I was about 6 years old. I grew up drawing a lot during my early years when I discover how good I feel creating thing on paper with my own hand and brain.

When I grew up to my adolescence age I tend to slow down with my passion since I felt more responsibility getting into high school and latter on to pursue my engineering degree in civil engineering at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Nicaragua (UNAN).

I was born in the City and Port of Corinto a small Island in the Pacific coast of Nicaragua. I came with my wife to USA in 1979 and start working as an Structural engineer in the Oil and Gas Industry until my early retirement in 2011 due to illness. During my years as an Structural Engineer I start painting in different media as oil and pastel and recently in my retirement I start painting for a first time in Acrylic. Unfortunately I have not been as prolific as I would like to be with my art work…

Lone Wolf

Lone Wolf

Artwork by Elizabeth Carmo

Drawing has always been on my mind… But I had no confidence and felt intimidated when I picked up pencil and paper. I am a farm wife and allowed myself every excuse to put it aside. Raising my family and farm work took all my attention. A few years ago, now in my fifty’s, someone gave my a copy of “Drawing On The Right Side If The Brain” it gave me some skills to build on, I felt so empowered! …
