Downe Burns

Downe Burns is a Texas native.  He is largely a self-taught artist with a distinct style that has almost universal appeal.  Downe’s desire is to create works that are both emotive and pleasant.  He avoids the darker moods of the environment, choosing to allow his imagery to create positive feelings.  He especially likes things that are old.  They produce a feeling of substance rich in time and warm with use.  With rich and bright colors, a new life is breathed into something maybe forgotten or gone unnoticed.  Burns has exhibited throughout the United States.

Antoine Claes

Antoine Claes was born in Montreal in 1971 of Canadian and Belgian nationality. Abstract notions like verticality, pictorial organization and treatment of light inspire his work. The references stem from the urban universe like technology or architecture. The research is aesthetic and his commitment is based on letting the matter inspire, instead of trying to justify it in another way. Nonetheless, the paintings have titles and themes that inspire the creation of the artwork. Claes has a passion for photography and this discipline is a reference and an inspiration in his paintings.

Thomas Hamann

Born in Stuttgart in 1955, Thomas Hamann studied at the Technical University of Design in Aachen, Germany and the Academie de Toegepaste Kunsten in Maastricht, Netherlands. In Hamann’s words: “It has been a long time since I could say that I’ve ‘created’ a piece or that I’ve made something. I feel more and more that I am guided, that I put myself into that flow. If I let happen what wants to be expressed, then I experience a feeling that profoundly touches me--a strong sense of harmony and that the work is just right. Sometimes it feels like memories and I wonder to which place it will guide me and I follow as far as it goes. Nature also attracts me strongly. Therefore, every morning I go into the nearby forest. And each time I experience gratitude and peace. There is a perception of clarity here with direct experience of the laws of nature and its rhythm.”

Scott Jones

Scott Jones was born in Cleveland in 1958. He studied at the prestigious Columbus College of Art and Design and presently works in his beloved painting studios in Key West, Northern Kentucky and on the shores of Lake Michigan. An intriguing aura surrounds Jones’ paintings.

He calls them “scene stealers.” In his travels to the great romantic cities, he captures the mood-drenched scenes on canvas. One can’t help being taken in by the festive attitude and timeless moods created by Scott. In addition to Jones’ participation in dozens of one man exhibitions, he has participated in countless group shows, designed theatrical sets and acquired numerous public and private commissions.

Heather McAlpine

Heather McAlpine was born in Scotland in 1962. She moved to London to study where she earned a BA in Fine Art (1st class Honors) from the University of East London and an MA in painting from the Royal College of Art. McAlpine says: “The West Coast forests and sea have provided inspiration for my recent paintings. Armed with my camera and macro lens, I collect images of seaweed, leaves and lichen. They provide the ‘raw materials,’ the starting point for my work in the studio. The actual material of paint and the painterly marks serve as metaphors for energy, movement and growth. Rich texture is achieved by building up layers of color, suggesting time and evolution. During the process, the images become pared down, leaving elemental marks. My ultimate aim is to explore the relationships between abstraction, color and the vitality of the natural world.” Heather has exhibited widely in the UK, including Oxford, Southampton and London, including the Royal Academy Summer Show. Emigrating to Vancouver in 1999, she continues to be inspired by the natural world.

Kathleen Doud Reilley

Kathleen Doud Reilley, a fourth generation resident of Ventura, California, was born into a family of artists. She grew up with easels, paints, pastels, art classes and gallery visits. She received her B.A. from Chico State, with a major in Liberal Studies and a minor in Art. After a teaching career lasting several years, she turned to serigraphs for the next 20 years, printmaking on paper, fabrics and tiles. Her focus on encaustic painting only began in 2003. Doud Reilley’s compositions are paintings in the encaustic medium, representing aspects of nature, from landscapes to seascapes, often focusing on the horizon line, the line that separates us from our place on earth and the heavens. Encaustic paint consists of beeswax and pigment with a resin base. It must be heated before application, each layer of paint fused to the layer beneath. Encaustic paint can be opaque or translucent, giving a unique depth to the finished product. And, when heated, the beeswax smells divine, often attracting hummingbirds to the sweet honeyed fragrance in Kathleen’s studio.

Sacha Barrette (“Sacha”)

Born in Saguenay Lac St-Jean in 1965, Sacha left his native region for Montreal, obtained his Bachelor’s degree in graphic design from the University of Quebec in 1982 and worked in the visual arts field for numerous advertising firms. During this time, he taught private painting classes until he decided to devote himself entirely to his art.

His travels throughout Canada, Latin America and the United States have allowed him to build his palette of colors and reaffirm his style. His work is exhibited throughout North and South America.
