Wendy Harris - I live to paint on sitein nature, en plein air. I am enthralled by nature and
consumed by the challenge of trying to capture the scene as it changes in front of me.Most of my paintings are completed on site. My paintings are awardwinning, nationally collected, and internationally published. I useUnison, Schminke, and Diane Townsend soft pastels on a variety ofarchival surfaces. I use non-glare glass and all archivalmaterials. Come see my studio & gallery: 315-727-6577 Noobligation, just color and fun

Growing up on a small family farm in Hubbardsville, New
York, Charlotte can’t remember notdrawingor
painting. Charlotte continued to find solacein
the art world and was fortunate enough to take drawinglessonswith
“Bean” Albert Backus, a well-known Florida artist. She spentthe
next couple decades of her life experimenting with different
techniques in oil and water color paintings. See themhere:Please

Maria Janina Rizzo created a body of work of 12 pieces that talk about our human condition through the use of a tree as a symbol.The tree has three main parts: the roots, the trunk and the branches. The roots can be seen as our past, our childhood, and the experiences which help form the person that we are now. http://cnyartists.com/profile/MariaJRizzo?xg_source=profiles_memberList

 

 

Marc Pittarelli I am most intrigued by anddrawn to those artistic styles thatspan the continuum fromimpressionism, expressionism to abstractart. To me, this is artthat is not bound to reproduce life'svisual experience, but rather, thisis art that is free to represent life's visual experience withgreater importance placed on mood, movement and composition than onaccurate representation.As an artist, I can say that working in anexpressionist fashion ismuch more engaging and fulfilling than purerendering. I believe itelicits greater involvement by the viewer aswell. I am currentlyworking in pastel on paper, acrylic on canvasand on board and digital photography. Please enjoy the sampling ofwork I haveposted. Originals are available and most works areavailable aslimited edition signed and numbered giclee.

Izzy Dugger My paintings started out mystical in an ethereal sense, exploring netherworlds between here and the hereafter. I have since begun painting glimpses of fairytales,both innocent and dark in nature. They are usually nonspecific, loose interpretations, meant only to provoke interest and thought, not to convey specific scenes. I enjoy creating images of figures from my imagination and making them come to life for others."

Bloody House

Hi folks,

Some here will remember me.  I've been away on some writing adventures.  I was originally involved on numerous sites, and had to cut back to concentrate on my bread and butter, my published works.  Since I've been gone, I've sold numerous poems and short stories.  Add to this a few books I've had published recently as well as all of the Editing I've been doing on other writer's short stories and Novellas.  My book cover work is advancing too.

The truth behind NETWORKING

Notes about NETWORKING from "The Profitable Artist" by Artspire

Networking

“...is about developing a base of people who will support your efforts and want you to succeed....

Networking is about finding and building relationships with people you care about who are linked to new opportunities, new markets...”

Attend art openings and start making new friends.

“A genuine interest in other people delivers a genuine interest in you.”

Tip

At the Hang Local, Artist and curator Ty Marshal asked me this question:

Maria, you had a lot of art shows last year. What is your secret?

At that time my only response was networking. 

Networking did help me find new opportunities to show my art in different venues,

but I realize that I didn't five a complete answer.

The real "secret" that helps me, and many other professional artists,

to showcase my work is the awareness of the many web sites that publish opportunity listings. 

Here are some that I check out weekly:

Delightful Deva Tee Shirts!

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to post an update about the Delightful Devas.  Although we are still selling the Delightful Devas as canvas wall hangings, the Devas decided they would like to see more of the world.

As a result, they are now available as beautiful ladies tee shirts as well.  This way they able to get out into the world on a more personal level.  Be sure and stop by the CNY Artists' store in Shoppingtown Mall to see them.  They will be vey happy to see you!
