A few words from John

As an Artist, one is constantly evolving both art, and it’s style, and also the statement that I attempt to convey with it. At the core of it is my wildlife art. I strive to present a view of nature in it’s natural state. Not censored for the public. A big part of this are scenes of predator and prey, in their daily struggles of life and death.

Conservation of endangered animals and their habitat is very important in these days and times and I hope my art can bring to light some of the issues surrounding these issues.

Wendy Bandurski-Miller

She does not work from images around her but from ideas in her imagination using allegorical icons and motifs to represent her work to a wider audience - but then she does what she does for herself and not to satisfy others.

She is happy and most of her work reflects that, but but also she has a social consciousness that despairs at the things that we are doing to our planet,and if she can serve to 'prick the consciousness' of the viewer then she will do so without reservation....

Patrick Miller

Patrick generally paints in oils, focusing on landscapes and figurative pieces. He enjoys the way that nature portrays itself in various situations, and the way she lets you play around with the light.

He looks forward to the day that the gapping hole in the soul of mankind can be permanently filled with beauty, and also appreciation for the important things in life....A sunset...or a warm still morning, instead of temPorarily filling it with money, greed and excess.

He chooses to stay hopeful.....
