My work, in all mediums, is created with the ultimate objective of telling a story - giving voice to a visual image. Most of the time the work is a montage of images that carry out a single idea. Commercial and fine art share the common impetus, which is to identify a need - what affects people - and excite and entice the consumer or patron through visual representation. I am particularly drawn to large-scale work because it has the ability to put the viewer into the action or event.

The images I present are from a series called Group Hug. They are portraits of people who live side by side with me, standing in line at the bank, waiting for the bus, eating lunch in the office kitchen, snoozing in strollers. They are portraits of everyday people.

As a burgeoning artist from rural Australia, Lee Nickless' primary artistic focus was drawing. As both his self and art matured, the painter began experimenting with acrylics and pastels on canvas, devising new and innovative techniques to create depth and texture on a two-dimensional surface. Nickless' art entices the viewer by drawing the spectator into his world with his extraordinary sense of colour, his unique textures, and his boyish symbolism. Nickless has previously exhibited his work in Melbourne, Australia, in London, England, Canada and the USA.

Art is what you look for and want it to be - uplifting, calming, challenging, energizing or humorous... your needs and appreciation are as unique and individual as the art you choose. Don't listen to anyone else - find what strikes the chord within you. I enjoy creating art in a variety of mediums, including pencil, watercolors and pastels. Over the years, I have studied drawing, oil and water color painting, calligraphy, stone sculpture, weaving, computer art and animation.

I am a female artist/illustrator whose style reflects my feminine, youthful outlook. My work is mainly figurative, the figures generally are women. The female experience is what inspires me, and I paint many aspects of that, from sexuality to friendship, motherhood, sisterhood girlhood to relaxation and the enjoyment of one's own solitude. The women I paint posses the qualities in people that I find inspiring. They are unique, Imperfect yet beautiful, comfortable with themselves, relaxed and compassionate. I want my viewers to come away from my work with a feeling of calm, relaxation, and hopefully having had some reflection inspired in them.

I illustrate the elderly and the sick. Figures, lines, shadow, and sullen expressions intrigue my pen.

Dwayne Wilson, notices that there is nothing new to bring to the world of fine-art without sinking deeply into dark depravity. It's not that he's against that sort of thing... it is simply that he doesn't want to get his hands dirty. Look though! See that ashy bush as the website's favicon? That's actually a skull! He's not perfectly sure, if that represents his sensibilities, as flower picking and butterfly prances are his daily routine. He's a good boy, who wants to wait till he gets married with his "special one" before he has sex. Those receipts from the red light district don't mean anything...honest!

I am a self taught artist who works with oil a majority of the time. I do pencil sketches and mixed medium as well. Every piece of art that I have created has been a result of deep strong emotions that I felt at that time in my life. I have always been an artist since grade school, doodling on my class work. In high school I got into graffiti art. Inspired by my lack of interest and dread of school, my art from that time is very dark and demented. After graduating, I went on to oil painting. I have not looked back although I still incorporate spray paint in some of my pieces.

Working simultaneously with ripping ink lines, thoughtful paint strokes and muted flat color, New York-born artist Michael Marsicano's work has been described as "illuminating the ordinarily mundane". Often intermixing subjects in visual non-sequiturs, Michael prefers to deliver open-ended messages allowing personal aesthetics and mood to drive the intent of the work. He is currently enrolled in the School of Visual Arts' Illustration as Visual Essay MFA program.

My main concept is the communication of one's thought,perceptions,or in other words, one's feelings. Within my knowledge of the world, I am expressing geniality, strength, fragility, and beauty of human beings through the medium of art. I am always living my everyday life with three elements in my mind. They are to observe, to listen, and to express. By three elements, I create myself and its image, while I affirm the "self".
