Bego co-founded and directs the Ezair Gallery. She is the Contempo-Energizing
part of the Ezair Gallery, drawing her inspiration from her life experiences
in our modern culture and technology. Her artistic vision of an artist
was formed while she was working as an architect in Toronto and New York. In 1990 she continued her career as the creator of the Energizing Art concept, where she uses all her knowledge of geometry, perspective, proportions, as well as dynamics of light and shade. Energizing Art is based on the fact that the basic component of our physical Universe is a Force or an Essence, which we call the Energy. |

| Tom Nuzum
is a mature artist whose vision was formed in the San Francisco Bay area
during the 1960's. After a period of time spent teaching in various parts
of the Midwest, he finally settled in Michigan near the city of Flint,
where the wildlife, marshes and lakes surrounding his home and studio
provided some of the images for his pictorial ideas. After 25 years of working in a nonfigurative manner, in 1988 Nuzum began to move in the figurative direction which characterizes his painting today. |

| Bromilow's essential philosophy is: If you sow beauty, you reap beauty. He believes that the greatest power we have in life is only what we can actualize at the very moment and often a future with any degree of certainty alludes us, though we have the power to determine our future by our attitude and our actions in the present. We have more knowledge and information than at any other time in history, and we must use it to transform our world into one where nature is respected at least as much as culture. | |
| Words describing art can be
informative, however the visual viewing of the art expresses in a moment
all the emotions,craftsmanship,and the quality that animates the artwork
giving it life. The excitement of creating art will show blazingly brightly through the paint if the work is successful. A single work may have a dominant idea pervading over other, more delicate or deeper sensations, taking precedence without overpowering the others. Imagination and formal paint handling qualities are intimately interlined. A good painting will have a theme or narrative, and it will also be touched with an essence of mystery or awesomeness. |

Thomas Spence,from the Blue Mountains of Australia. This series of work was Inspired from time spent with an aboriginal weaver named Yvonne Koolmatrie,from south Australia. Mr.Spence and her traveled together while she gave workshops in weaving.His role was to illustrate this period of time. While this produced a lot of figurative work, what emerged upon his return to the Blue mountains was this,more abstract series of work. |
| I want
people to see themselves by seeing the fish struggling. It is about power
and the cycle of life and death. Like us, they have to survive in an environment
where everyone can be an unlucky one. |

Murphy´s figurative paintings surrounded by bold, beautiful colors are a celebration of life. Through her spiritual journey, Murphy seeks to explore the struggle between human desires and spiritual evolution. The ethereal figures explore the struggle between human desires and spiritual evolution...the nurturing female figures are in the state of grace for the light of hope, the light of healing and the light of love. |

My approach stems from a desire for a fresh way of relating to the living environment and an awareness of it as a vigorous and autonomous entity in itself. In finding ways of signifying connection to landscape, I use the conventional position of "onlooker" with the artist/viewer "here" and the landscape "out there." As well as taking perspectives which allow greater psychological immersion in the landscape. |

Color is the essential element in my work. The always-square canvas is edged by patterns created with both abstract and representational images. These patterns define and confine the interior, flat surface of a single color..... |

I began a quest for ideas of change that are common
in our culture and for changes largely considered to be positive. This
“common currency” is important as it places the artist and
“others” on the same vantage point. |

I like to accept accidents from the
natural World into my work. Some times a curve can be smoothly produced
by a single gestural stroke but sometimes I like to laboriously produce
a curve in increments so I can exercise more control over the resulting
shapes. |

Paint is the vehicle through which my thoughts, emotions and perceptions flow. The result is a highly personal, energetic expression of my own experience and philosophy. Although the work is born from a primarily emotional place, physical elements of the human body and other representational forms make their way into each painting. Quite often this happens through serendipity and chance. This is the magic of painting spontaneously and without fear or a preconceived notion of the outcome of a piece. |
| I make 3-D paintings that I call constructions. I have for years made abstract paintings where using color, as well as other painting tools such as line and texture, I created depth and indicated planes... | |

Dina Gustin Baker is a painter dedicated to her own conceptual and abstract images of expression. Though tolerant of other directions in art, she continued her devotion to her own vision. For her, painting has always been a discovery of related feelings in terms of color, form, and movement. Her work is introverted but goes the emotional distance to joy.

Although abstract, I paint what I see... the beautiful countryside all around me... rolling hills, mountains, and distant views...ever changing sky... nearby hayfields, woods and streams, weeds and wildflowers... everything. The colors seen every day, always seem to "appear" in the paintings; a sudden bright red, pink or yellow... reminding one of a single flower all alone in a field of browns, tans and umbers... or the changing hues of sky, grass, trees, etc. My work is another kind of landscape painting, resulting, I believe, in painting which is more "real" than a literal reproduction. The "essence" of what has been seen and felt is there, making what is seemingly ambiguous, most tangible and unique... which is what I think all good art is about.

| In my paintings MY WILD NATURE I am working with my own version of nature, giving my living colours as much freedom as possible. Rather than copying natures artefacts, my goal is to create like nature, with spontaneous intuitive energy and flow. . | |
| We
are because of what we are in relation to the structure of all things.
Distinct separation of forms is an illusion. All structures are continual
processes incorporated within one another in mutual interdependence. Whether
light or matter, or every individual action possible or enacted, all are
interwoven into a boundless timeless whole. My intention is to paint visual allegories of form and structure to see ourselves from a new vantage point within this larger whole. And of course, my hope is that you the viewer enjoy these paintings simply in and of them. |

New York Artist
McKinley-Haas has been a painter of natural phenomena throughout the
past 30 years. Her painting is closely related to her initial visual
arts work as a costume designer, from which she eventually departed,
becoming more abstract in her concepts, and calling on her sense of
color, form and light to express herself and her vision in her large-scale
paintings. Her paintings unfold as she works and though inspired by
her travels & referring to the photos she takes en route, she never
knows just where the process will take her or how the final painting
will manifest itself.Mo |

Eveline Luppi, born in Providence, RI, has deep roots in both the Rhode Island and Manhattan art communities. She has worked as a painter and ceramicist since 1980. In the late 80s and 90s, she studied contemporary art at the Art Student League of New York, where she worked with a group of international known artists and came under the influence of Knox Martin, Larry Poons and William Scharf. Throughout her artistic development, she has experimented with colors and patterns in complex motion, frequently expressed as diptychs or series of coordinated pieces. Her art combines a classical painterly style with her interest in the late Impressionists, Abstract Expressionists and modern multimedia techniques. |

Walter Thompson
has made art for over five decades, but it is only the work he has done
in the last thirty years that he feels establishes his credentials as
an independent artist. This relates to the time when he gave up representative
for abstract art. He has said, "For me it evolved naturally enough,
but when it did, it broke open my imagination in ways I could not have
dreamed of." Since the early eighties, especially, Thompson has
built a body of work that betrays a rare intelligence and sensitivity. |
