  • Carla. FLEGEL

    Short BiographyMy style is referred to as painterly fresh, lively, happy. I do not like perfect photographic paintings. I want to feel the subject and want the viewer to feel the vibrancy and sensation I feel and see what I choose to paint the subject I prefer wedding duet watercolour and the casual accidents that bloom and blend led to the spontaneous vibrant rendition of a scene. I keep evolving, stretching and finding ways to show people how I see the world. I strive to evoke the essence of a subject. I hope my work brings a smile to those who own it. I think we live in a beautiful country and I choose to celebrate that. Carla flegel@gmail.com

  • Joanne Nemeth

    Short BiographyMy acrylic paintings are a modified form of pointillism. The contrast of the colored dots and the underpainting make my paintings shimmer. I start with the largest dots first, and slowly fill up the canvas with smaller and smaller dots until I’m satisfied there is no room for more. My work takes patience, but I find that once I have a plan of my work in mind, it is very relaxing to just let the dots flow. I was smitten with the first dot artwork I’d seen that was done by a fellow artist; I knew I had to try it myself. I hope people viewing my work feel something similar. I want to capture their imagination; I want them to wonder: how did she do that?
