© Don't Take It For Granted By Nathalie Kelley

"It is my hope that my art will inspire you, bless you, encourage you, or just simply make you feel good. Most of the images I have captured, with paint or silk dye, have begged me to paint them because of the colors, the memories, the light, the reflections, or the spiritual significance. When the Lord revealed to me that He had made me creative and that He wanted me to create with Him, I could not resist His invitation. These are the creative expressions of my worship of the Lord. I want to "SHOW forth the praises of Him who called me out of darkness into His marvelous light." (1 Peter 2:9) "

© Autumn Glory By Lelija Roy

© Caught In The Rain By Lelija Roy

© Edge Of Summer By Lelija Roy

Each piece expresses unique rhythms and textures of the living earth. Lelija seeks out the interconnectedness of organic and inorganic elements. These glimpses encompass: the hazy light of early morning, the wind in an aspen grove, the silent struggle of a pinion pine on a canyon wall or the rush of the waterfall.

"I crave simplicity. Simplicity is a key factor in all my work.  Life seems to be moving so fast around me all the time and creating art makes me stop, observe, contemplate and search for simple truths. This is the common thread that runs through all my work, from a classical oil painting to a silly illustration. "

© French Post Advantage By Sandy Moser

“Painting is entirely for my pleasure and fulfillment. I am driven to create images on canvas and paper. It is something that I cannot stop. It is like breathing – it is a required part of my existence. It’s who I am and it’s part of my soul. To be able to create a story, an action, an image, is a wonderful passion to have. When the brush goes into my hand, something takes over and I am lost in the creative process. I believe it is a gift from God. I want the viewer to be able to appreciate the beauty of these creatures and perhaps they will understand how important it is that each of us must do our part to try to preserve the environment for their habitat. Each individual has a responsibility to co-exist on this planet in a way that respects and protects wildlife and their surroundings”. - Sandy Moser

"Art has always played a role in my life in some capacity, but it wasn't until recent years that I've been able to fully devote myselft to my painting. I picked up a watercolor brush and never put it down. 

I love the challenge of detail and realism, and enjoy painting the things that surround me in my life and in nature. My paintings have been described as vibrant and having depth. My goal has never 

been to make a statement with my art, but simply to paint objects that I find beautiful and that will give my viewers the same pleasure."
