Meet Artist Suzanna Young

 

Suzanna Young

A little about me...

I've drawn and painted since childhood.

Received my first set of oil paints at 10 years old for my Birthday... l would draw from magazines and whatever l saw; people, animals, nature in its many seasons.  Always fascinated with my surroundings.

O-058 Fancy Dancer by Suzanna Young acrylic 16x19 $198

I love color and am fortunate to see so many shades of a "color".  Also love movement...

I was an art student all through school and won many awards on my works at local, county and state competitions. 

Upon  Graduation  from high school, l received a full ride scholarship and invitation  to Hallmark in Kansas City as an artist.

Meet Artist Lorna Ho

 

A Spiritual Journey Through Art

 

A strong influence in my work is my Chinese cultural background. I was born in Hawaii and although I don’t speak or write Chinese, I have a great respect for Asian culture.  I particularly admire calligraphy and use It in some of my work.

 

T-008 Spring Impressions by Lorna HO acrylic 22x18 $1950.

As I paint, I feel that it is a meditative process where I get in touch with my inner being.  It is a spiritual practice for me regardless of the subject or result.

 

Brush strokes are freeing for the body.  My goal in art is to make it a spiritual practice which engages my mind, body, and soul. What drives me to create are the inner visions that come from the soul.  The process and resulting painting id the combination of mind, body, and spirit.

Meet Artist Victoria Fout

O-056 Show-your-feathers by Victoria Fout mm 16x20 $450

Life can be very hard, so I try to add a splash of color and whimsy by imagining my own fantastical worlds and beings, exploring the duality between fantasy and reality, light and darkness, life and death, expressing emotion, and reimagining nature. I create fantastical creatures and surreal landscapes using acrylic on canvas as my main choice of medium. I love a colorful palette, and creating different textures so much that in some pieces, I often manipulate acrylic mediums, sew raw canvas, include 3dimensional elements such as fabric to elevate the painting experience to bring my fantastical worlds even more to life.

I grew up in Angels Camp, California. I found my love for art at Columbia Community college during the most difficult time in my personal life. Art became a life-raft; I found comfort, escape, therapy, and a creative outlet. Art allows me to express myself. I am a local artist with a fresh and unique colorful perspective. I earned my BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2016. My artwork has been shown at the Calaveras County Arts Council, Ironstone Vineyards, Crafty Chicks Road Show, Manzanita Arts Emporium in Angels Camp, and at the Calaveras County Fair. I also serve as a Board member for the Calaveras Arts Council.

Lost within my own darkness I find the colors of expression and joy when I paint. My art is an invitation into my world, welcome.
