Henry Allen - United Kingdom

Since eaving school with the GCSE certifcate for Art, I have been mostly self-taught, studying from books thereafter.

For my drawings and paintings I use colorfast artist grade watercolors, wax crayon,
pen & ink, oil paint and acrylics on acid-free paper or canvas. All pieces of work are two-dimensional.

I study from both male and female models (in person and from photograph), still-life,
abstract ideas, land and seascapes, and animals.

I sometimes commission still-life and photos uploaded to me from GIF or jpg files taken with a digital camera or scanner. I interpret these to my style of painting or drawing.

Teresa Hodges - United Kingdom

Born in London, in 1951,I studied Fine art at Hastings School of Art, and have painted ever since, now concentrating on landscape, and in particular, trees. Walking with my two dogs in the Hampshire countryside gives me plenty of inspiration for my paintings, although I also enjoy travelling in France and Italy, and painting the the warmer landscapes.

Sonsoles Shack - United States

I was born in Madrid, Spain. Both my parents are artists and I was raised loving drawing, painting and art history. Although I am a molecular biologist by profession working on cancer research, I have continued to draw and paint as much as possible, and even more so during the last ten years. Painting in oils is my passion, and my recently created website is finally showcasing my artwork.

Continuously learning and evolving, my own development is leading me to portraiture. Children, adolescents and adults alike, portraits are a great challenge, and that is why perhaps the satisfaction is also great. I can certainly say now that doing portraits is what I enjoy most. I have done commissioned portraits for a variety of especial occasions, birthdays, anniversaries, memorials, and heirloom. My goal is to achieve not only an accurate likeness, but also much more than that, to show the inner self and the subject's personality. Paintings, and particularly portraits, are always a unique gift, and a wonderful way to immortalize a loved one.

I hope you enjoy browsing my work as much as I enjoyed creating it. Do not hesitate to contact me if any questions arise or for a quote.

Thank you and welcome to my website!

Pat Mahan Fine Art - United States

From Traditional Representational Oil Painting, after many hours outside painting "Plein Air" sketches, to Abstract Expressionism trying to discover a new audience in "Art for the Blind", into the complete Abstract world, I continue to create according to my Spiritual studies and the impact art makes in a changing world.

A Traditional Oil Landscape painter for over 20 years, my art takes a viewer into the creative process an artist goes through. No longer satisfied to replicate nature, I lean toward discovering something fresh and exciting.

Aliza Ben Baruch - Israel

Aliza Ben Baruch, née Alie Evers (1923, Holland) an Arnhem Art Academy graduate('48), specializing in illustrative and graphic arts: etching, lithography, monoprint, collography. She illustrated children's books such as "Barnaby and the horses" by Lydia Pender/ Han G. Hoekstra, as well as the "Biblical Stories for Children", by D.A. Cramer-Schaap. Aliza emigrated to Israel in the 60's. She exhibited on many occasions in Israel and abroad. Her techniques and skills strongly portray the depth of her honesty of expression in the works she creates. Horses form an important theme engaged by Aliza repeatedly in her works. This may be attributed to the recollections she has retained of Dutch landscapes she remembers from the period during her youth in The Netherlands. Another theme is the human female. Here she often portrays her subjects with puzzling or even macabre expressions, but always combined with the suggestion of an affectionate and condoning nuance. A great deal of her inspiration is drawn from music, which she transforms, by way of her chosen artistic medium, to figures of performing musicians, or to colourful abstract forms. Her work often suggests “melodies”, and her drawings touch the essence of the psyche, projecting a potency bordering on the bizarre. Today she employs various visual media in her work: charcoal, gouache, watercolor and soft & oil pastels. A selected number of her works are to be found on her website.

Aliza, a modern artist with abstract and expressionist features, has been creating art for over 70 years. She graduated way back from the Arnhem Art Academy in Holland, specializing in illustration and graphic arts.

Catriona MacEachen - United Kingdom

Catriona Macdonald MacEachen lives in Fife and works as a professional artist.

Art has been her passion for as long as she can remember and although mainly self taught, she excelled in Art at school and went on to specialise in Art while undertaking an Education degree in Glasgow.

She was born in Kirkcaldy, Fife and although a proud Fifer, her roots are firmly embedded in the Hebrides and North West of Scotland. Regular trips there greatly influence her work.

Catriona's work is influenced primarily by her love of nature and wildlife. The intense colours, perpetually changing light, perfect forms and dramatic land and seascapes of the natural world of her homeland are a constant source of fascination and inspiration.

She uses a variety of media depending on the mood or atmosphere she wishes to reflect. She often works in acrylic to capture the vivid hues of a dramatic Hebridean sunset. She may use pastel to create a softer mood or sometimes oils for seamless blending of colours in a portrait.

Catriona's artwork is growing increasingly popular and she has many pieces in private collections both in the UK and abroad.

She is currently exhibiting some of her most recent work at the Heron Gallery in Pittenweem, Fife.

Laura Ficarra - United States

Laura Ficarra was born and raised in New York by Italian immigrants. Early in life she was exposed to art and culture both in New York and Italy. She always admired the masters and still looks at their work with awe and inspiration.

Although, she has been exploring all genres and mediums, her true passion lies within her abstract acrylic paintings.

Her favorite artists include but are not limited to Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman.

When asked what painting means to her, she responded :

"Painting is an expression of the soul, poetry with paint,

Textured music, floating notes, rhythmic strokes, Creations from within,

Exploration of color wrapped within creative construction of collages combined with medium and paint.

Creations from within varying according to emotions, an expression of the soul.
