PAINTERS AND FINE ART PAINTINGS

Artists listed here are serious professional artists. Most are full time artists, some have studied extensively to master their skills and many have a degree in art. The artists are listed because they want you to become familiar with their artworks. Most of the artists are selling paintings or prints through their websites. They are always interested in new viewers discovering their work, and to learn about exciting opportunities to participate in exhibitions and art shows.

The reopening of the United States is underway, and we want you to know that Art-Collecting.com will continue to provide your community with art guides as we have for the past 22 years. We do this because galleries, museums, non-profit art organizations, and artists are important. We urge you to support them whenever possible. COVID-19 is still a dangerous threat, so practice safe distancing, wash your hands and take other protective measures so that we can continue to open our country safely.

We're looking for assistance from YOUR art community; someone who can be the eyes and ears for what's happening in your city. It's easy - choose the ART GALLERY GUIDE for your state, then look it over and let us know what should be added or removed. We'd like to provide an informative and useful art guide for your community and for visitors to it. Let's work together, so we can create even better and more accurate online art guides.

Wilbur M. Reeling - MD
My Abstract art is an alternative way for me to express my visual language of form, color and line to create a composition that places greater emphasis on a visual sensation than on a depiction of recognizable, realistic objects. Most of my paintings are done using pigmented paints that I hand grind and mix with special mediums to form my own unique color palette. Abstraction itself has been my subject matter for decades. Not an easily understood expression of painting, the observers must be able to comprehend and struggle for meaning in what is said, what is implied, and what is never completely described.

Botanical / Flowers

Rebecca Bangs - CA
"I grew up in the back hills of East Tennessee fishing, climbing trees, running barefoot through corn fields and chasing after baby bunnies. It is this deep connection with nature that brings me back time and time again to create paintings inspired by our natural world. Each painting is an exercise in mindfulness as I apply 7-8 layers of dots for their creation. Collected nationally and internationally, many remark on how joyful they make the viewer feel."

Anastasia Rurikov Simes - MD
As an artist, I often find it difficult to explain my paintings. From my earliest childhood, I have been influenced by the advice of my artist grandfather, who told me, "if you really have something important to say, draw it rather than putting it into words. Words will disappear anyway." If I were asked to describe my art in one sentence, I would use the words of Gabrielle Garcia Marquez - "the world was so new that many things had no names and you had to point your finger at them." Website: https://www.rurikov-simes.com/

Dominique Samyn - NM
For the last few years I have been experimenting with different media. I fell in love with the most challenging, encaustic ( hot wax )! For 10 years I have been living off the grid in the high desert. The high desert where I live is my endless inspiration. Living off the grid may seem very romantic but life can be hard here and one really has to rely on nature for water and power. Native Americans have mastered that balance. We still have the same concerns especially concerning water collecting and conservation. In this new series I borrow some symbols from them as a starting point for my encaustic work. Visit her ranch/studio by appointment only. Telephone: 505-424-1742, address: 341 Rogersville Road, Cerrillos, NM 87010, email: [email protected] website: https://dominiquesamyn.com

Landscapes / Nature

Davina Perl - CA
Ever since I was a child, I have "thought" in pictures. As an emotional response to my subjects, I paint what I see and what I feel, capturing the subtleties of color and form, and nuances of light and shadow. She received at BFA from the College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio and attended Parsons School of Design and the Art Students League in New York City. In 2021 she will participate in an exhibition at the Whistler House Museum of Art in Lowell, MA. Location: Northern California, artist website: https://davinaperlfineart.com/

Ronald Story - GA
Contemporary Landscapes & Abstracts by Ronald Story. Powerful colors define inner strength. Always do I strive to create art that is meaningful to me, in terms of style, composition, personality and message. I love when there are more layers than the eye could discover as I am fascinated by life's mystery and the surprising journeys it may take us. To me, abstract Art is a mystery of poetry, color, light and dance beyond words. "Ronald's art makes you feel like you are swinging from a vine through a mystical world of brilliant colors and the ecstatic blossoming of nature."

Kevin Kuenster - NY
Recently, I began working with Buon Fresco, an ancient technique in which pigments are applied to a wet plaster surface. The plaster is a pure combination of aged lime putty and Carrara marble dust which is applied to a birch wood panel. When the plaster dries the surface becomes hard and smooth like stone with the pigment embedded in the surface. Etruscan and Roman frescos with their rich colors have endured centuries. I am fascinated with depicting 21st century humanity, increasingly fragile and threatened, using this ancient technique that embodies such permanence and stability.

Kelly Mellos Fine Art - CA
Kelly's artistic viewpoint is one depicting a reverence for life... a deep awe of the beauty within a human being and in nature. She hopes that by capturing the life force of her subjects and showing this to viewers, that this respect will be shared. A commitment to artistic excellence, grounded in the representational art traditions of the 19th century European ateliers, is the foundation of Kelly's work. Her portrait, figurative and landscape work has been shown in national galleries and museums, as well as international exhibitions. Location: Southern California, artist website: https://www.kellymellos.com/

Joseph Warren - FL
The objective of this listing is to find a market for my paintings. In short, I am seeking gallery representation. This current series of paintings are the Dream Dance paintings, a synthesis of my Disney experience, my experience in East Africa with a POP of whimsy and fantasy as well. As the content or imagery of the paintings provide contrast, there is an underlying play of contrast in the composition as well. Artist Website: http://warrenpaintings.com/

Stacey Well - Canada
Contemporary paintings, for rock stars and normal people. Colorful, stylistic, playful artwork and the artist takes commissions, so have a portrait created. Get an original work featuring your picture on a wine bottle. The collectable bottle series is the perfect canvas art to hang in your space and start a conversation. Wells RockStar Reflection series became immensely popular and inspired several series of bottle paintings. Much more so check out this artist. Artist Website: https://www.artistwells.net/

Still Life / Objects

Laurie Goodhart - NY
The diverse experiences of 40 years as a professional artist with a penchant for the details of lost cultures have fused with a simultaneous 30 years farming, also full time, and produced an extensive oeuvre I call The Remnants And Residents Of A Lost Sanctuary of Aphrodite. While its visual vocabulary owes much to ancient artifacts, the motives underlying each painting are both current and timeless: our need for sustenance and grace, and visions of women on their own terms.

Art has been a passion of mine in which I have channeled my energy and emotions for over the past 5 decades. With the use of brushes, oils, watercolors, pastels, strokes and color I have created an area in my life that I cannot enter into except for while creating art. There is balance between the delicacy and strength with the use of art mediums I have been able to extract art from my mind and soul. Website: http://michaeljpalladino.com/
