NEW CONTEMPORARY ART EXHIBIT-MIXED MEDIA!

Dear ART lovers everywhere,

 I am so excited to present to you some extremely creative ARTISTS,, each one unique in her/his own way!

I guarantee that you will see unusual work, ART that I hope will engage you and perhaps interest you to look at again & perhaps want to hang in your own home!

 The work shown is by my long-time students, some professional ARTISTS in their own right. Every piece in this show could be seen in a contemporary gallery that deals in high quality ART!  Trust me, I know, because of my decades long ART experience; studying ART all over the world, doing my own work & teaching ART for 100 yrs.! 😅

I hope that you wll take time to look at all of the work, perhaps visiting the Blog more than once. 

Some of the work is for sale, some Artists are open to commissions. Please contact me with inquiries about size & media,. If the piece is for sale you will see a price listed, or perhaps you would like to see more of an artist’s work, feel free to .request contact information.

FYI: I have a new mixed media ART ON LINE class beginning Dec. 30th.  My classes are open to anyone, ALL LEVELS!  If you would like any further information please don't hesitate to e-mail me, see above.

I am sending you best wishes for the holidays & may 2021 be a much better year for us all!

Love,

Rivian💞



FAITH FLEURY

Art has always been a passion in my life: one of my earliest memories is creating new colors from my Crayola 8-pack by overlaying one shade with another! 

After a career in high tech corporate finance, I decided to focus on further developing my artistic skills and learning new media. These days I mainly work in mixed media and acrylic painting, creating both representational and abstract pieces. I enjoy exploring various effects using form, texture, rhythm and color relationships to express my subject.

DENISE PACCIONE

In my creative work, I’m interested in process rather than technique; seeking the pure creative impulse arising from the authentic self rather than the analytical mind. Influenced by the power of archetypical imagery and natural forces, my art tends toward darker emotional explorations while maintaining optimism through the use of a bright palette.

RALPH LAZAR
Why do I do art? I’ve been compelled to do it since I was a kid in grammar school when I drew grasshoppers on the margins of biology reports, cartoons in school newspapers and throughout the years attending the Chicago art institute,in college and as an industrial designer applying aesthetics along with function to products. I challenge myself working in various mediums such as oil, acrylics,pastel,watercolor and as presented in this exhibit, cut paper/mixed medium collages.

LISA

I love a good story. Travel has led me to real and imagined stories. What’s behind those craggy, lined faces? The exotic and colorful headwraps? Pieces of those travels drift back to me and become mixed-media creations of paper, bolts and screws, magazine bits, dried paint blobs, collected-fabrics. I pull those pieces together in mixed-media creations of  stories. Examine my art and you'll find an integration of special handmade papers, bolts and screws, torn magazine bits, dried paint blobs, collected-fabrics, photos, keys, feathers. No, it's not junk. When put together through my eyes, the pieces connect to become art-stories out of my imagination and maybe yours.

JULIANA VERSARI

In my work I use mixed media and acrylic paint, creating small whimsical spaces that represent a story. Most of my stories explore themes around finding inner peace, exploring relationships with nature and using symbols to represent deeper meaning. In my shadow boxes I use the small confined space to represent a moment in time, in the same way that a snowglobe captures a small environment that evokes feelings of nostalgia and connection. In my work I also explore the concept of "home", what is the place that makes you feel most at peace whether physical or emotional. My intention is to create these small environments that help the viewer connect to nature and feel at peace.

HANS BUTIKOFER

Thanks to the encouragement & guidance from my teacher, (my Wife), I started drawing and painting 10 years ago.
Looking at & copying the Masters, such as Modigliana, Picasso & Schiele has helped me to focus on my personal expression..
 I like to work on wood as well as canvas and other surfaces, & have constructed  several pieces of furniture utilizing my paintings that I am proud to see used in our home.    Sometimes I start a painting without knowing exactly what to do and hence end up with portraits like these!
