 MANDRILL MOUNTAINS 16x20 Mixed Media on Canvas  CRANES 48x30 Acrylic on Canvas I paint to see what happens– within myself and on the canvas; trusting my experience and being endlessly surprised. Everything is a creative process, an investigation, and in some sense, a healing art. What inspires me is the creative process itself, following my intuition and abandoning expectations. I like to experiment with various styles and mediums but my passion is in abstract expression. I hold BFA in painting and have exhibited my work primarily in Washington, Oregon, California and New Mexico. Currently I am living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I am also a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, happily practicing Acupuncture to help others be in harmony with themselves and their environment. I hope that my passion for creativity and exploration can be felt in my artwork.  THE PIG AND THE CHEST 18x36 Acrylic on Canvas

 “Encore” Acrylic on Canvas 40” x 32” My artwork explores the rhythms, tensions and harmonies of the natural world, reflecting my sensory perception of patterns, energies, atmospheres and relationships. I invite the viewer to experience with me the interplay of color and movement, form and texture in my interpretations of nature. I work with the idea of above and below, seen and unseen, in my paintings. By multiple layering I create my rendition of this perception. I was born in Tucson, Arizona, and have lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico, since the mid-1970s. The Southwestern landscape permeates my awareness of color and shape. The cycling of the New Mexico seasons, flights of birds, native flora, the Río Grande and other rivers and arroyos, continually visit my paintings. Travel always intensifies my appreciation of the many forms and feelings in the world of nature. Long visits to Brittany/France allowed its rocks, coastal sand and patterns of the sea to become part of my work. Various Asian aesthetics in crafts and painting continue to be a great influence. My chosen medium is acrylic on canvas. I work with negative space by adding and subtracting shapes while building the surface to create an overall glow. ******* New Mexico artists are amazing!

I paint mainly in oils, primarily landscapes, but I also enjoy non-representational work. My love of quilts shows up in my geometric painting series, which I drafted using a quilt design software. My goal is always to paint honestly, and to channel the joy I feel while painting. I want my paintings to sing to me, which is when I know that I like them enough to have them seen publically.

An Australian art critic and others convinced me to pursue art as a professional career, which I began in 2009. Soon after, I was inducted as a Signature Member of the National Watercolor Society and have now been in numerous exhibitions at international, national, state and local levels. Many of my paintings reflect a key facet of my art, a love affair with the Australian wilderness that dates back to the 1970’s, when I spent a year exploring the entire continent in an old Volkswagen van. I hope you enjoy an international journey through my art, and if so inspired, add my work to your own collection.

 "Butterflies and Hummingbirds" Dianna Shomaker Artist Statement: Welcome to my art world. I invite you to become acquainted with my work and what it means to me, and further your appreciation for the abstract art that has evolved in tandem with my life. Not all my work is abstract, as is also true of other artists, but I’m basically an intuitive soul. I love a good puzzle. That’s what art is, the unravelling of a puzzle through curiosity, experimentation, and observation. But most importantly to me, it is my intuition that drives what I do. Now why, you may ask, is that of value for you when viewing my art. Where does it fit in with your impressions? Paintings are powerful tools for my ability to convey, to give me a voice for my inner world. That is the key to unraveling my art. It is as close as I can come to communicating meanings that are too nebulous to put into words. I bring to the room a very diverse set of experiences throughout my lifetime and my values are based on that. Decisions weren’t always about art but art has always been a driving force. That is also true for the viewer. We are each wonderfully unique to our background. Treasure that uniqueness. Ultimately, I paint because it beckons me down a pathway of exploration and understanding in this complex world. It is my continuing education. I consider a work successful when abstraction provokes and teases me, and hopefully the viewer, too; when it invites everyone into the unfolding drama on the canvas. Ultimately, I want it to be an enjoyable and enlightening journey for all.

Knock Knock Encaustic collage Lauren Deyo Fine Art Mixed Media & Encaustic Artist Mixing it up with creative energy. VISIT ARTIST'S WEBSITE Instagram: @artbydeyo Represented by: Corrales Bosque Gallery Corrales, NM Ricochet Gallery Albuquerque, NM  Artist Statement: Art is the creative journey which leads her exploration into painting and experimenting with color and materials. Explorations allow for her inner child to play with mark making and layers of paint add history to her work. Her love of Oriental brush painting has been an influence and fuels her practice of utilizing mixed media, integrating collage elements into the works. East meets West as she integrates these influences with her passion for abstract expressionism - joining the exacting, methodical style of one, with the free, spontaneous flow of the other. Oriental influences are a natural pairing with my love of nature. Recently she discovered her love for encaustic collage. Encaustic is the perfect vehicle for marrying paper with wax. Through papers and wax her stories emerge about the relationships between people, creatures and things.

Connecting with our surroundings provides both a simple pleasure and a vital purpose to our existence. My landscape paintings tend to focus on the immediate and perhaps often overlooked details in nature, as do my architectural studies. I am also intrigued by the history of the front porches of the past, and the way in which people incorporate them as a welcoming space to their homes. These snapshots of daily life are set like a stage with the changing effects of light from season to season, and the rich play of colors that harmonize to define a personal and very intimate space."

Whether my aim is to create a detailed piece with drawing media, like ink or graphite, or whether I’m working on loose and abstract work with paints and mixed media, nature is at the heart of the concept. The forms and lines that are the foundation of every aspect of nature, the curves and spirals of shells and flowers, the hexagon in bee hives, the textures, colors and variety of species fascinate my creative mind. I welcome commission requests. Should you an idea or want me to create something special for you or a loved one, please reach out to me." Www.CeliaCortez.com
