Paintings in oil, acrylic, watercolor, and encaustic have long been a favorite of both artists and collectors. The artists' interpretations range from bold expressions with dynamic brush marks to intricate works of mesmerizing detail with soft transitions of light and color. This collection of original paintings includes works of art with a thick impasto surface as well as ones with thin veils of transparent washes and rich luminous glazes.

Pastel paintings are beautifully expressive and can be created with soft or hard pastels, pastel pencils, or oil pastels. Instrumental in the artist's conveyance is the hardness and sharpness of the medium, the angle and amount of pressure applied, the texture and color of the support, and the direction and fluidity of the artist's stroke. The result may be a work of art that is vigorous and full of life or delicate and controlled.

Mixed media and collage may consist of an infinite variety of materials: paper, fabric, string, paint, or found objects of discarded debris. The works may be intricate in detail and deep in meaning or playful and exploratory, but they are always a creative feat — for the artist must possess the ability to recognize each item's potential and to unite often disparate materials into a cohesive whole.

Drawing media include traditional and watersoluble colored pencils, charcoal, conte, pen & ink, markers, and watercolor pencils. Though drawings are frequently thought of in terms of linear expression, they often depict value and form with a build-up of hatched and crosshatched lines or through continuous gradations of tone. They range from simple black and white renderings to full color images.

In creating three-dimensional forms the sculptor as well as the craftsman considers balance, harmony, variety, economy, movement, and proportion much in the same way an artist working in two dimensions would. The artist's creation however is not one of illusion, but one of tangible actuality.

Printmaking, one of the oldest methods for producing original works of art, is used to transfer an impression from one object onto another two-dimensional surface. Works printed from a single plate create an edition. Except in the case of monotyping, the process is capable of producing multiples of the same piece. These are original prints, not reproductions.

"Every photograph... is an attempt to penetrate and capture the unique esthetic moment that singles itself out of the thousands of chance compositions, uncrystallized and insignificant, that occur in the course of a day." --Lewis Mumford |
