Artist Statement : Transitional times of life can be stressful. Sometimes they are a welcome change and sometimes we are fleeing from something that we felt had trapped us. When the thing that held us back releases us, it feels like an escape from all that was familiar, and heading into the unknown can be scary, although often there is peace waiting for us at the end of the journey.

Artist Statement : I’ve always imagined what my art would look like in a museum. After many years of painting large canvases I decided to try a smaller canvas to create a world where I can eavesdrop on the comments or thoughts of the visitors to the museum.

Media: Acrylic on Wrapped Canvas Painting Concept: Psalm 27:14 "Here is what I've learned through it all: Don't give up; don't be impatient; be ENTWINED as one with the Lord. Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope.
Artist Statement : The "Abstract Truth" in this painting is based on Psalm 27:14 "Here is what I've learned through it all: Don't give up; don't be impatient; be ENTWINED as one with the Lord. Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope. I chose to create a painting that is "entwined" vertically with color and forms wrapping around one another to reflect that we must always wait on the Lord in ALL that we do and become "entwined" as one with Him. For throughout life, He will always be with us and indwell within us.

Artist Statement : Process: Luis draws black and white thumbnails of ideas he may want to pursue. He then photographs his subjects, mostly under natural light, with a 35mm digital camera or an iPhone. He manipulates and composes the image using Photoshop. The final image is drawn onto 300 lb. or heavier Arches or Fabriano watercolor paper. On larger pieces he uses masking fluid to prevent the white of the paper from being painted. These masked areas usually are the highlights of the subject. He starts the paintings with light tones and colors and then proceeds to dark ones, moving left to right, when possible. He uses a variety of techniques and brushes to achieve the effect(s) required. The larger pieces may take up to seven weeks to finish.

Artist Statement : You Will Outgrow Your Shoes is from my Relationship with Love (Family) Series. You will outgrow your shoes, but you will always be my little girl. I'm sure many parents and grandparents think this way. The girl may trade in her skate key for car keys, and her jump rope for a graduation tassel, but she will always be that little girl in their memories. Also, as I use many vintage objects, I am recording a different period of time and activities. Young women today would question what some of these objects are and can learn a bit about the recent past.

Media: Mixed: Paint, pastels, metallic glazes, photography
Artist Statement : Art has always been part of me, from the first time I colored outside the lines and preferred my result to the neater versions of my classmates. I started to identify myself as an “artist” when others called me by that name. Soon I began to understand that this was something you could “be.” In the past decade I have become fascinated with the concept of inside-out, flipping some part of the perspective in each piece I create. I create a kind of enhanced reality using photographs that I have taken along with paint, metallic glazes, crayon, pastel and sometimes a variety of less conventional media to bring my inner vision forward in my artwork. You will see what I see. While I use my own photographic images, there is no use of digital art effects or scanning, no reproductions of finished pieces, no multiple editions. Each completed piece is unique and hand-made, a one of a kind finished multimedia artwork.

Artist Statement : What do we feel when we walk down a dark street at night? Either it's the street of a small sleeping town, a big busy city, or maybe a dark alley of our lives where we can't find a way out of some situation... and how quickly and joyfully the heart begins to beat when our eyes finally see the light! And we are ready to run there as fast as possible, just because there is light there. ”This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.“ (1st John 1:5)

Artist Statement : My work at first glace can look like chaos. A frenzy of movement scarred upon the surface.Closer inspection reveals a map to my mind. I am very connected to the Art, often having a story to coincide with the inception of the work which is reflected in the titles.
