abstract painting of runners by artist Georg Weber

“Element Runners” TruLife acrylic, aluminum frame back with Z-bar, 50″ x 20″ by Georg Weber

 

Georg F Weber

My art ranges from abstract to concrete expressions. Being computer-based, it is generated by a “bit-brush” not a paintbrush. A rewarding step in the process is the decision on a medium for printing.

 

beaded embroidery wall art by Ananda Suddath

“Segues” (diptych) beaded embroidery and acrylic paint on panel-mounted canvas, 10″ x 10″ each, by Ananda Suddath

“Passages” watercolor on paper, 22″ X 15″ by Krys Pettit

“Deep Purple Path on Evening Hike, reverse painting, acrylic on plexiglass, 24″ x 36” by Victoria Braverman

My painting has a strong emotional-color impact coming through the luminescence of Plexiglass.  Reverse painting is an ancient form that I now make contemporary by using acrylic paints on clear Plexiglass. Colors call to me.

 

painting of four diverse women by Phyllis Anne Taylor

“A Red Thread Runs through Us” mixed media paper & acrylic paint, 24″ x 36″ by Phyllis Anne Taylor

Women have been enslaved, on the brink of annihilation, and endured internment because of their diversity. Yet the one who had it “better” was still considered property with little, if any, rights as a woman.

 

painting of an Emirati woman

“An Emirati Woman” oil on canvas, 80 x 50 cm by Bahdria al Shamsi

 

Badria Al Shamsi

My aim is giving the woman a beautiful and graceful aura with eyes looking confidently straight to the person looking. I also use strong colors to invest a feeling of strength and control.

abstract watercolor painting by Juanita Hagberg

“By Any Other Name” watercolor on yupo, 26″ x 40″ by Juanita Hagberg

Personal experiences and emotional connections to nature inform my response to it; intricacies and complexity are suggested, not stated. Absent representation, more complex interpretations can be considered.

 

landscape oil painting by John Abisch

“The Old Oak” oil, 9″ x 12″ by John Abisch

 

John Abisch

In an increasingly rapid, tense and troubled world “lost in cyber space” and largely disconnected from the natural world, it is my desire that my artwork communicate the solace of beauty and harmony.

 

enamel coated wire sculpture abstract

“Unexpected” enamel coated wire sculpture, 12″ x 12″ by Lisa Van Herik

figurative study in landscape by artist Kimberly Leclaire

“Trapped in Monochrome” soft pastels, 12″ x 9″ by Kimberly Leclaire

Art should make you feel something, whether it’s hope, despair, or the promise of a new beginning. It can show us where we have been, what we have overcome, or where we hope to go.

“Eli” oil and gold metal leaf on canvas, 18″ x 24″ by Roger Nielsen

The goal was to show emotion in the eyes of my daughter, Eli. One viewer said, “The painting shows more than a thousand words; it reveals her past, her future and her father’s concern.”
