b Gallery art directory welcomes the amazing talents of our latest new artist Elizabeth Williams

I paint in oils and am largely self taught, although I am able to draw from my many years experience and my qualifications in the the Interior Design field. Detailed 'visualizations' were provided for clients, which were often requested to be kept by them!
I particularly love to paint the sea having always lived near it and too, the country side in all seasons, but especially winter. I hold an 'open studio' weekend in Chiswick London, every year with an ' private view' invitation to see my new work.

b Gallery art directory welcomes the amazing talents of Darney Willis

Personal Description: I began a serious interest in painting in the summer of 1967. I have been able to do some painting, and a lot of thinking about visual art concerns both formally and philosophically, and a lot of teaching visual art concerns ever since. I earned a Master of Fine Arts, in Painting, from the Univ. of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Ar., USA, in 1983; a Master of Arts, in Digital Media from the Univ. of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Ar.,USA, in 1998. I am teaching in the Art Department of NW Arkansas Community College where I started teaching in 1990. I live in NW Arkansas with my wife and two of our seven children in a beautiful house, Castle Gate, that I built with the help of my older son and one of my daughters and has been a major studio project for the last 6 years. I am also building a large painting studio which is still waiting to be finished. I am also a five-fold ministry prophet in a local ecclesia.

Work Description: I paint large scale canvases with bold invented color - lyrical and very expressive color passages of natural images viewed so very close up only part of the external contours of the particular images are seen. I don't use the internal natural details normally seen with such a view.
Currently I am painting flower images, mainly from the iris flower. These images are meant to be something other than visual illusions or mimics of iris flowers - they are intended to be metaphors or doorways into visual, emotional, and sometimes even spiritual journeys - into flowerscapes of peace, order, beauty, and unity. They are metaphors of the human condition, of the magnificent yet fragile nature of our humanity and our constant dependence on our Creator for inspiration, protection, nurturing, and restoration. I realize humans are capable of extremely ugly horrible cruel things also, which is worth addressing in paint as well. Presently my work is both a joyful celebration of living, having purpose on this earth, and bearing fruit and also addressing issues that arise on the earth from mankind leaving an intimate relationship with our Creator and thus mismanaging our stewardship of the earth.

Jeremy Turner at b Gallery art directory ~ ~In Jeremy's words about his amazing talent

 

 

A gift from Mexico started it - a painted carved wooden fish. I was struck by its

crude vitality and knew I wanted to make things like this. My personal visual

language has developed from a familiarity with many carving traditions,

particularly Romanesque sculpture and Mexican Folk-Art.

 

Graduating as a sculptor in 1970, I started my woodcarving business with an Enterprise Allowance Scheme grant in 1985. As well as carving dishes and bowls I started doing a lot of relief carving and lettering, so that house signs and relief panels soon became an important part of my work.

 

What am I up to now?

I take pleasure in working with wood, how it behaves, how it cuts with

sharp tools, the smell of it. I use relief carving to unite picture

making with the physical deliberateness of carving, combine colour with the

crisp use of light and shade, and play with shape, form, pattern, and textures.

 

With this language and material I explore many themes: human desire and want; conflict, intolerance, and other major issues and anxieties of our time; and pattern, number and geometry in natural forms. I bring together shapes of cars, expensive watches, handbags, perfume bottles and warplanes, to evoke joy, threat, attraction and repulsion, and a wonder at the everlasting mystery of creation. Jet planes drop lipstick bombs and cars and wheels sprout leaves and flowers.

 

As well as making large relief carved wall pieces, I still make carved dishes, bowls, sculptural vessels, paperknives and pendants. I am always open to enquiries from people who want something made that is special and unique.

 

Right now I'm completing a piece called "Greening the Wheel" ready to show at next Saturday's [ 27 October] pop-up Arts&Crafts Exhibition at 21 Adelphi Street, Central Milton Keynes, MK9, 4AE

Ian Morgan at b Gallery art directory

What seems like centuries ago I was an aspiring student architect, rubbing shoulders at London University with all kinds of talented artists and designers. Unfortunately my art and design were fine but the bricks and mortar let me down so I stumbled into a commercial business life. Then a few years ago I was released from the burden of earning a living at a ripe old age and I re-found art, in particular painting, watercolour painting. What joy!

I started evening classes locally and found I loved watercolours and starting producing paintings from photos and got to grips with some of the techniques. I have progressed now getting more pleasure travelling out into our lovely countryside locally in north Hertfordshire sketching and painting in the wild. Watercolour can be the most wonderful, lyrical, satisfying medium when it works and the most frustrating and difficult medium when the force isn’t with you, but I just live it!

One of my current pleasures is painting churches - especially for people getting married there as a lasting treasure of that special day.

I sincerely hope you get as much enjoyment from browsing around my work as I have had producing them, I have invested a lot of time and “emotion” in these paintings so it means a lot to me that they are appreciated.

Please enjoy....

Susan James Dean exhibits her work at b Gallery artdirectory ~ which now can be seen around the world!

My interests involve art as a means of communication: I think the creation of something visual is an effort to make sense of the world and our experiences within it. Drawing is a primary form of expression, and although my drawings of the figure often show an intuitive and spontaneous response, they are underpinned by many years of drawing from observation.
