“Palms at Dusk”

“I spent a couple of years studying at Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota. I fell in love with the tropics and later relocated to Fort Lauderdale where I started my business. Palms have always intrigued me as graphic elements for a composition. I like to catch their constant movement caused by off shore breezes.”

“Mi Gente,” Leonor Anthony

This piece is part of the collection “El Vuelo de la Semilla (The Flight of the Seed).” It is inspired by my personal experience as a Cuban immigrant. Having left Cuba as a 5-year-old child, my roots were severed but not erased. These are my people. They are textured, nuanced, worn out, real—but filled with life and soul; simple in their elegance and beauty. This is my homage to them.

“Canines and Color,” Iris Scott

robhibbs — Mon, 16 Nov 2015 13:43:56 +0000

“Canines and Color” was inspired by the dog paparazzi sessions Iris embarks on. Armed with her Canon and a fast shutter speed, Iris loves to wade knee-deep into the San Diego surf to catch the movement-saturated moments of black labs shedding their water weight. The surface of this piece is heavy with oil texture, and Iris takes finger painting to a level the world has never seen. Iris makes her color-saturated canvases burst with movement using a form of textural Impressionism all her own, and without using any brushes. Iris Scott’s finger paintings hang in private, public, and corporate collections worldwide.

“La Extincion Del Simbolo Nacional,” Veronica Villarreal Sada

robhibbs — Mon, 09 Nov 2015 13:27:23 +0000

This piece, “La Extincion Del Simbolo Nacional (Extinction of Our National Symbol),” is one of 30 drawings in Veronica Villarreal’s series titled “Osseous.” In the series, Villarreal explores the anatomy of animals and addresses the question of what these species might look like in the future. Villarreal seeks to bring awareness to hunting, the black market, and the meat industry with her drawings.

“We are slowly eliminating all the beauty in our animals, and if we keep doing so, all that will be left will be bones,” says Villarreal.

“Azure Passage,” Patrick Bremser

robhibbs — Mon, 26 Oct 2015 15:45:07 +0000

“The hollow of a curling wave can be an unforgiving place to be. Here I sought to slow the shutter down to give it a softness that only time can do.

I am the result of a long line of artisans and teachers. I am a waterman, a chef, a lover of life, a spirit walker, and much more. Between the folds of light and dark, magic plays. Through the medium of photography, I search to find those moments filled with magic and suspend them in time.”

“Breaking Wave,” Valerie Ostenak

“I am fascinated by the movement of water—the way it flows through cracks in the rocks, laps at a sandy beach, and breaks into a wild display on rocky cliffs. With my work, I seek to capture that moment in time so that it cannot be lost—a moment that I can be connected with the water for as long as I look at that sculpture or piece of jewelry. I can feel the gentle flow of the stream or the excitement of the explosion of water as it breaks on the rocks. I can even become the water if I choose.”

“Beach Hibiscus,” Susan Schmidt

robhibbs — Mon, 12 Oct 2015 17:54:18 +0000

“Beach Hibiscus a work from my ‘Seaburbia’ series exploring the cultural memory and heritage of the quintessential Australian beach house. Patterned and layered in acrylic and oil, the work achieves a weatherworn texture recalling the erosion of matter over time and the exquisite residues of nostalgia and decay. Composed from my own photographs, reminiscing retro color I am documenting the essence of coastal living lost to time and development and the value of a more simple way of life.

“Seeking to further one’s career as an artist is certainly not as easy as 1, 2, 3. There is quite a bit of trial and error, experimenting, failing. But it is an adventure.”

“Moment of Forever,” Brett Lethbridge

robhibbs — Mon, 21 Sep 2015 13:12:59 +0000

“My secret, if there is one, is to always base my search for subject matter on my own emotional experiences and the things that have significance to me. The drape was in fact the sheet I shared with my future wife while she was studying in Europe for 5 years, and the perfume bottles were the gifts I bought her when I would go and visit.”

“The Incantation,” Martin Wittfooth

robhibbs — Mon, 14 Sep 2015 13:05:45 +0000

“My work is most recognized for exploring the confused relationship between our species and the rest of the natural world, depicted in animal allegories. This is an issue that weighs heavily on our times and is one that I feel compelled to process through my work.”
