Munio's Camp Gallery   Munio Makuuchi, my late friend, called himself a diamond in the rough*, and he's absolutely right, (* A fresh water yellow pearl "in the rough" found in the headwaters of the Mississippi River) This Collection of his writing, From Lake Minidoka to Lake Me ndota, is an Asian American life story in poetry and prose (and prints).

Lynne Taetzsch Abstract Paintings  Taetzsch (pronounced as one syllable rhyming with the letter "H") describes her painting process as analogous to the improvisation of a jazz musician.
Deborah Barlow  Painting, with its endless plasticity, is the best means I know of cajoling a peek-a-boo backside into view, if only for an instant. By defining its own sense of place, a painting can offer a glimpse into what is at the edge and beyond the reach of our common tools of perception.  Technique plays an important part in my work. My approach is layeristic, and I innovate with materials and methods to achieve a finely tuned visuality that does not resemble traditional painting techniques.
Abstract Expressionism by Andrea Kostyal   I paint expressive color abstract geometric forms along the lines of my interest and expertise in textiles. My favorite materials in collage technique are colored paper, pieces of wood and plastic glued onto the canvas. One should look at child drawings and paintings as the most pregnant examples of art - they are direct and true.
Photoeclectia, Photographs for the Soul  Northern Virginia Photographer, Maureeen Costantino. All photographs are scanned electronically and digitally enhanced. Theme -- it is the shapes, colors, and patterns abundant in nature -- landscapes, flowers, animals, Canadian travelscapes, and the moods of coastal North Carolina in waterscapes, macro life in the plant world.
Merlin Emrys  home page; Santa Fe Abstract Expressionist Painter.   The ideas and shapes in my painting come from within, from thoughts, feelings, visions, nature. The important thing is to let the energies flow, and from that space to allow the paint and colors to form their own shapes.   Cut to the chase, Merlin's painting page.
Martha Brooks Marshall   Tampa FL abstractionist painter (digital and real). My paintings are non-objective, but relate to my childhood love of looking at everything -- animal, vegetable, and mineral -- through a small microscope that my parents gave me. The images also derive from many childhood days of walking in the woods, collecting insects and other natural treasures. One might describe these works as "painted collages." I sometimes work with cutout shapes and doodles, superimposed and overlapped, until familiar shapes appear. I love to work in bright colors, reflecting the tropical environment in which I now live.
Cathryn Chase   Digital artist. The majority of my images are abstracts, with some simple landscapes, space and surreal images. I love using Bryce (a 3D modeling program created by Metacreations, and now owned by Corel) because it is relatively easy to learn and adapt to. Bryce 5 has recently been released by Corel, and I can't wait to try out all the new features.
Cheryl McClure   Texas abstract Landscape Painter. As a non-objective painter, the design of the work and the process of evaluating relationships are foremost in my mind. I'm always thinking about the relationships between the warm and the cool; the textured or busy and the smooth or restful; or the organic versus the geometric. Organic shapes seem to dominate my work so I think a lot about organizing those shapes.
Stephen Duren   Michigan abstractionist painter. The formal push/pull of space in Duren's landscapes becomes a prototype of "place" through our active involvement with the image. As we see these paintings shift back and forth between formal elements (color, line, and shape), and then shift again between representation and abstraction, we encounter a complicated experience of looking and perceiving that mimics the way we experience the world.   Place and Form by Conrad Baaker writing on Stephen's painting.
Patrick John Mills    - London based painter and poet. His paintings style varies from expressionist to abstract. His paintings have been widely collected all over the world, and his paintings have been shown in numerous art exhibitions in Europe and in America. Aside from being a painter, Patrick is an award winning poet. His poetry has been published in sixteen poetry books and has received such poetry awards as: Best Poems of the 1990's by National Library of Congress, and Editors Choice Awards among others poetry awards.
Abstract Art by Paul Herriott   Herriott bases his concepts upon basic forms and astronomic influences, the cube, the sphere, the triangle, ellipse, hexagon, octagon. He loves the beauty of the ical, pyramidal. Abstract shapes and forms, drawn, painted and shaped in deep perspective, with the effect of the dimensions of the forms evolving from the returning to attempt to disappear into the painting.
Art of Your Mind - Abstract Paintings by Nathan John Strother   I love the biomorphic thing. There is really nothing hugely complex in my abstract art. Just getting an idea is exciting, as I think about certain shapes and their relationship to each other. And then visualizing it through to completion is satisfying.
Jason S. Cardenas:   Oil Landscapes, Still Life, and Non-Objective Abstract painting.
Marilyn Kirsch:   Abstract Paintings, Drawings, Collages, Mixed Media on Paper and Solar Etchings.
Marti Garaughty Abstract Realism... new paintings & limited edition prints.
Bob Dornberg:   Expressionist Paintings. I choose the subjects of my paintings from slices of life around me, tailored by experience and imagination.
Kelly Moore:   Kelly Moore is a Self Taught Artist who has no formal training or education in art. His Original, Expressive work has been referred to as Outsider Art, Art Brut and Visionary Art. His intuitive style and technique reflects a raw, primitive quality that is frequently juxtaposed with a startling innocence.
Duality is a frequent theme in Moore's work, "Art makes me transparent, an internal excavation. Some days it's Gold and somedays it's mud. Either way, that's who I am and it will always be a perfect thumb print of my soul."
Anne Stahl:   Abstract landscape painting. My work is inspired by the natural world. Its beauty and its cruelty. Its hostility and its hospitality. Its paradoxes and its contrasts.
Karl H. Maenz:   The purpose of this site is to show my photos and paintings to friends and interested people around the world. To perhaps create with time a thing of beauty, of enjoyment and out of the ordinary. And to encourage an occasional intelligent dialogue with like-minded people.
In my photos I try to show "the world about me", and preferably portraits of what takes some patience to see.
My painting's only purpose is to express artistically what goes on inside me, the "world within me", and have fun doing so. It's not a business.
Robert Hogge:   Xfusionism is a form or concept of art that incorporates any number of styles such as Abstract, Expressionism, Surrealism, Neo-Expressionism, Outsider, Brut or Aboriginal art into one piece and then X-tracts their major components leaving their spirit to create a completely unique art form.
Lorraine G. Huber:   Abstract paintings by Scottish abstract artist Lorraine G. Huber; mixed media paintings and collages. Visit her web site and experience the journey within.
Filiz emma Soyak:   I describe my work as a cocktail of past, present and future experiences and accomplishments. Born in Belgium to a Swedish mother and Turkish father, my family moved to Japan when I was 6. Spending a large part of my childhood there influenced my life and character. I graduated from the University of Vermont in 2001 with a BA in Studio Art and minor degrees in Japanese and Business. I lived in Charlotte, NC for the past two years and now live in Boston, working out of a studio in Somerville.
Ernie Gerzabek:   With my background as an architect, I tend to ‘cut to the chase’ and try to capture the essential elements of a visual experience, hence my leaning towards minimalism and abstraction. All superfluous detail is minimised or eliminated, only the lasting and significant is emphasized and captured.  Ernie's manifesto; Ernie's new flagship web is Abstract Landscape Paintings.
Bob Heatly:   In 1988-92, I called the type of painting that I am doing the PATMOS series. Before that VESTIGES or ISLAND VESTIGES. TOWNSCAPES has been my defining term since 2002. Another artist described it as contemporary digital cubism. Since I am beginning to use the same method to paint people, flowers, windows, etc., maybe I need a new name for what I do. See CONTEMPORARY CUBISM, VESTIGES, PATMOS, OR TOWNSCAPES ? for my attempt to explain the background to the idea, influences on my thinking, the idea (what I am doing), why, and a little on how.
Ioan Popei:   Abstract art by Ioan Popei.  Hand painted religious icons on wood and abstract oil paintings by Ioan Popei.
Keith Garrow:   Abstract paintings by Keith Garrow.  Unique and original abstract oil paintings by British artist Keith Garrow. Purchase artworks direct from the artist.
