| Gagan John Gagan       John Says: "I work in different styles- surreal, abstract, expressionism and frequently combine styles. I paint in the style that is appropriate for the idea or emotion I am trying to convey. The color palette I choose also depends on the mood I'm trying to convey- sometimes dark and monochromatic and sometimes wildly colorful. But no matter what the style, I always try to capture a poetic image. And I often depict images of solitude which have a meditative quality." Edward Gault Riverway    Ed Says: "Photography has taught me to be alert to seeing what is around me in new and different ways. It is also the medium in which I can convey how I see the world to others." Patrick Georges More Information Coming Soon! Andres Giraldo      Andres Says: "It’s the music and the dancing that inspires me to paint Salsa Dancers. As a Passionate painter and dancer, I saw the similarities of both worlds and wanted to express them all in one form. In both I use color, body movement, composition, form, repetition, imagination, creativity, spontaneity, feeling, energy, improvisation, and flavor. My artwork stems from scenes of choreographed performances to salsa music. I use lines and broad strokes of colors to bring out the grace, elegance, and movements of the dancers. I combine realism, impressionism, and abstract techniques to bring out a choreographed performance to your eye. You don’t need music; the music comes out of the painting. That’s what I want to achieve in every painting. I enjoy every brush stroke as if I was dancing, and taking part of the choreography." Anne Gleason       Anne Says: "In July 2007, I traveled to Sri Lanka to establish a school nutrition and community health project aimed at reducing food insecurity, improving overall community health, and building community solidarity in a rural village. The Healthy Community Curry Kitchen provides daily school lunch for the 43 children at the Niggaha Primary School and bi-monthly health education and on-site medical and dental clinics for the entire community. This collection features my photographs alongside drawings the students. My work focuses on life at the school—the lessons, laughter, and lunches—while the children’s drawings tell us about their home lives—bathing in the river, parents tapping rubber trees to make a living, and mother cooking dinner over a fire. All proceeds from photos, drawings, and photo cards benefit the Healthy Community Curry Kitchen. For more information, to donate to the Curry Kitchen, or to purchase photographs, please contact Anne at (508) 277-7183 or HealthyCommunityCurryKitchen@gmail.com." Ann Goldberg Landscape Oil Sketches    Anne Says: "I am both a painter and a dancer. In my life, I've probably spent equal time devoted to both. After attending art school, I painted for a few years and then became discouraged. I subsequently quit painting. I was also interested in dance, yet I felt something missing in my life. A few years ago, I returned to art. It was like greeting an old lover. For a few years I devoted my time to drawing. Only recently did I start painting again. The landscapes in this exhibit were mostly painted in the last 6 months. Some were painted on site. Others were painted from a photograph. In all of them I wanted to convey a sense of space and movement. I don't know what else to say except that I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed painting them." Devon Govoni          I explore personality and style a great deal within my art. I believe that every piece should possess a flare that attracts people’s attention for one reason or another. I try to create works that people can easily connect to, consciously or unconsciously. When people view my artwork, I want them to interpret what they see in relation to their own lives. I believe that there is a great deal of warmth that can be taken from my work. I hope that people can find some comfort in what I offer to them through my creations. Communicating in ways outside of speaking increases the number of interpretations that a person can have about what is being relayed to them. I find it fascinating to communicate through art. My process begins with the simple intent of filling the empty space in front of me. As I progress meaning and interpretations develop. By the time I am finished with a piece, I have attached many of stories, emotions and life experiences. These components are not only derived from my personal worldviews but also from the worldviews of others that I interact with directly and indirectly day to day. Listening to others and learning from others is a main component that I incorporate into my process when creating works. As a result of this, my hope is that people can relate and connect in some way, to what they see when viewing my creations." Eliza Jane Grassy      .jpg)  More Information Coming Soon!
