I consider myself "new" yet to oil pastels, having only been introduced to the media about 3 years ago.

I engage my work in an organic, natural way, where past occurrences arise and become part of my present life. My life and art are changing as I try to bridge two cultures so I have both a sense of being in-between and also feelings of confusion. I want to explore areas in life that are in transition. My paintings investigate myself as I try to relate to this new environment. Where I reside is important to whom I am as a person. At times borders seem very random, they have a lot of power to change lives. I want my paintings to break-up borders because they keep people apart. People are the same and art helps to explain the different situations we all live in.
Past experiences are important to my present life and it is important to engage these feelings in a natural way. I begin with recollections of my previous life. The images I remember of past incidents become part of my present. I am trying to combine several opposite ideas: ancient and modern, traditional and contemporary, and realism & abstraction. I want to mix my dreams and reality together so I try to use exterior reality in such a way as to evoke my interior world. Having the freedom to shift between different consciousnesses is important. I depict situations that are parts of a journey between my different life stages.

I’ve always done something creative, whether in needlework, mosaics, glass or paint. Since 2000 I’ve used acrylic, oils & pastel.
I love the texture of oil paint and the vibrant hues of pastel. Subjects with sharp contrast and lots of color are what attract me most. I believe in constant learning and experimentation. Recently I have become
inspired by Zentangle® drawings with ink & marker to create abstract & subjective doodles on watercolor paper greeting cards and on canvas.
I love working around other artists, which has become an important part of my social life. I do my best work at my own pace, usually painting several days a week. I use the other days to post to my blogs and to prepare for local & national exhibits and entries for on-line competitions.
I enjoy being a member of The Oil Painters of America, The Chicago Pastel Painters, Contemporary Fine Art International, The College of Lake County Foundation, The Daily Paintworks .

Thank you for the opportunity to celebrate contemporary women artist! I am a full time painter living in southern california. My work is based on personal narratives that develop through the process of applying paint and looking within this context for visual clues and shapes which begin a dialog between the paint and my personal stories which lead to the discovery private fables. they blend the line between memory and fantasy with an element of the fantastic, infusing the paintings with a sense of romance and revelry. I work in oils, which allow me to add and subtract paint for an extended period of time, and help the long process of story telling find its beginning, middle and end.

I know there are many women quietly creating great art in silence. I would very much appreciate the opportunity to learn about what is being done and where it is being shown. Cynthia Brody, San Francisco Bay area

Living in Montreal, my art is about what is real and what is fiction, in the political as well as the personal. I deal with illusions. See my website for paintings, holograms.

A midwesterner by birth I grew up in the Chicago area, graduating from Lake Forest College in 1960. I worked for my father, a commercial artist, after graduation and in 1967 married and moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. On Saturdays and evenings I attended the Art Academy while working as a graphic artist.
It was not until 1975 when I moved to Maine that I began thinking of myself as an artist. My father, books and art galleries were some of my earliest teachers, but the person who was the single biggest inspiration to me was a painter from Montreal named Bruce Le Dain. We met in 1975 in Stonington where he liked to paint occasionally. His life fascinated me because he came from the similar tradition of graphic arts but had made the leap to supporting himself and his family through painting.
Printmaking was largely unknown to me until I discovered wood engraving. In 1990 I returned to school receiving an MFA from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia. My process involves a lot of sketching from life and then creating a composition based on these drawings. Most of the detail is developed while I’m cutting the block.
More recently I have returned to painting. This transition was inspired by trips to the Southwest, a stark and subtle landscape that seemed to ask for color.
I support myself with sales of art, commissions and teaching. I have taught at colleges, our community schools, and Haystack Mountain School of Craft.

What a wonderful site!! I'm a painter working out of WHISTER BC in Canada. It's very snowy, magnificent and inspiring here. Another constant source of inspiration are my two spirited toddlers- always full of new imaginative ways of viewing the world. I completed my art degree at the University of Victoria. In my art practice I'm interested in the evocative visual energy that can be created through painting. My paintings aspire to engage the viewer in a satisfying visual adventure, offering portals into imagined and real landscapes and emotional atmospheres. I also teach workshops on Vancouver Island and in Whistler. To view my website: www.jenniferzizman.com

As a young woman artist on the verge of graduating from the Maryland Institute College of Art I am greatly encouraged by this community of women artists. The art world is opening up to women but the current financial situation in the USA, and many other parts of the world, is making it tough for everyone. As artists it is important that we give each other the support we need to keep our passions alive. Thank you all for participating in the community.

Teresa’s images invite the viewer to experience the “dreamscapes” that are created in her mind’s eye. What these images reveal is not just a simple illustration of the scene in front of her, but her own personal view of that scene interwoven with her own creative signature.
Thank you, Women's Works, for all you do to promote & celebrate women artists everywhere!

yves saint laurent purse, <p>Introduction To Fly Fishing</p> <p>Over the last 2000 years humans have employed numerous methods of archery, fishing and hunting in order to find food. Over that time, fly fishing has become seen by many anglers as the essential method of fishing requiring skill, patience and stealth. Indeed trout fishing is by far the most rewarding fishing whether boat fishing or bank fishing. </p> <p>When compared to other forms of fishing and the fishing equipment required at the bank, fly fishing stands out above the rest due to the limited fishing equipment that is needed; allowing greater stretches of a river or lake to be explored in a session. By employing what is essentially a fishing lure presented in such a way as to convince the fish it is a living creature worth devouring encompasses all that relates to the history of archery, fishing and hunting. </p> <p>Which Rod?</p> <p>There are several things that you need to think about when choosing the right type</p> <p>of fly fishing. Every reel and fly fishing rod has a certain function and knowing the function is critical to its success. </p> <p>One of the first things that you need to consider is comfort. yves saint laurent purse , Is the rod that you're</p> <p>using comfortable for you to hold? If you're shorter than about 5'5" you won't</p> <p>want to use a rod that is seven feet. Choose a fly fishing rod length that is easy for you to hold and cast for a few hours at a time. yves saint laurent sandals , </p> <p>Most of the fly fishing rods on the market today are designed to allow you to feel when a fish takes the bait. The shaft of the fly fishing rod is called a "blank" and when the rod is first manufactured the blank is made from fiberglass, graphite, or other materials. Each</p> <p>of these blanks has an action that is either: light, medium, medium/heavy, or</p> <p>heavy. The upper portion will also have an action that is either: extra light, light,</p> <p>or regular. Both ends of the blank are assembled and the final result is a fishing rod, complete with a handle and guide. No matter what type of rod that you're using, the "action" of the rod will refer to the "blank". The action of the rod will have a great</p> <p>deal to do with the type of fishing that you're doing. </p> <p>Now go to your local tackle shop and ask to try out a range of rods in order to decide which best suits yourself. yves saint laurent pumps , This will be an individual thing and the only way is to try the rods bearing in mind . </p> <p>Which Reel?</p> <p>Reels ? There are three main types of reels that you can choose from when it</p> <p>comes to fly fishing: (1) baitcasting reels, (2) spinning reels, and (3) spincast reels. The reel that you choose will depend your own personal preferences. </p> <p>Baitcasting reels: Baitcasting reels have better accuracy and control of the lure</p> <p>than other reels. They are better equipped to handle lines that are ten or more</p> <p>pounds in weight. The one thing to be aware of when using a baitcasting reel is</p> <p>that they often have the tendency to snarl or fight back when the spool starts to</p> <p>spin faster than the line that is being played out. This is particularly true if you are</p> <p>casting into the wind. </p>.
