The process of creativity and art is the ability to invent a language and communicate with others regardless of the differences in age, race, creed, socio-economic status or known verbal language. The creative spirit can change the world. |

It is my desire to honor and celebrate the natural world by creating bold, yet delicate, new "landscapes," rich with color, soul and imagination. My work is created through a unique process of spontaneously layering free flowing color and mark-making with carefully rendered organic forms. These forms or "characters," such as wings, sprouts, hives, figures, stars, branches, petals and pods co-mingle with vibrant color fields to tell stories of magical places born from dreams, close observation and a deep connection to all living things. Often changing courses along the way, I find joy in allowing my paintings to unfold naturally as I experiment playfully with color, form and composition. My inspiration flows from both a microscopic perspective and a cosmic perspective and through the painting process itself. Ultimately, I consider my work to be a celebration of the present moment; chaotic, subtle, mystical and ever changing. | |

ARTIST NAME: Elena E-MAIL CONTACT: CLICK TO SEND E-MAIL |
My goal of artistic expression is to capture the viewer’s imagination, to create a meditative moment in a busy life, that allows that necessary space to face deeper meanings hidden beyond the surface. The ideas for my paintings usually revolve around colorful people inhabiting a dreamscape. I want the viewer to enter the world transformed through a prism of my background and perception, dreamy with a pinch of mystery and colorful melancholy. I call my painting style 'Mood in Motion'. | |
ARTIST NAME: Carrie Goller E-MAIL CONTACT: CLICK TO SEND E-MAIL |
Pacific Northwest multi-media artist Carrie Goller recalls being advised as a child growing up on Washington's tiny Bainbridge Island, to pursue a career in fine art. It wasn’t until she battled breast cancer that she became a serious and dedicated artist. "Art has become a necessity for me. It's both work and play - exhilarating yet restorative. It's where I find balance," says Goller. "I am truly grateful for the support and encouragement I have received to indulge my passion and constant need to explore new mediums and subject matter." Goller is lured by simple yet sensuous organic forms and the intoxicating realm of vibrant colors, shapes and textures found in nature. Her thoughtful approach to subject matter can be evidenced from her tender still life work, along with a passion for rendering portraiture from vintage photographs. She transitions with ease within a wide range of genres and media, including oil, watercolor, pastel and charcoal, as well as ancient mediums such as encaustic (molten pigmented beeswax), casein and egg tempera. Recently, Goller has taken up figurative sculpture and is working with several artists to learn ceramics, welding and woodworking. She also has created a jewelry line which incorporates her artwork. Goller works from her home studio on Hood Canal and another at Rockwater Art Center, her turn-of-the-century farmhouse in nearby Poulsbo. Goller’s approach tends to be experimental with leanings toward the classical. Eleven galleries showcase her work, which is held in U.S. and international collections. Recently Goller was videotaped for King 5 News and I Heart Kitsap; two of her paintings were selected for the 2011 Washington State Annual Collective Visions Gallery Show and she was featured in the October 2010 issue of national magazine, American Art Collector. Additionally, Goller is one of 500 worldwide signature members juried into Artists for Conservation Foundation, a non-profit, international organization dedicated to the celebration and preservation of the natural world. "As a colorist, I truly appreciate Carrie Goller’s work. She has a wonderful talent for creative combinations that really do engage the eye," says Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute. | |

Regardless of subject matter, my paintings are essentially personal interpretations of the seen world. I utilize traditional tools and concepts of pictorial expression as well as my own inherent sensibilities and intuition. Ultimately what I hope to communicate is a personal and contemporary expression of beauty and order which pays homage to the Classical Tradition in its craftsmanship. | |

ARTIST NAME: Flora Ramirez-Bustamante E-MAIL CONTACT: CLICK TO SEND E-MAIL |
My representation of human faces is different from realistic portraits. In my portraits I don’t aim at describing details of faces in the flesh or someone’s features. I am instead interested in finding and painting the hidden aspects of a face that strongly draw me to paint it. Gestures and postures, barely perceptible movements and accessories are important parts of the imaginary rarely consciously noted by viewers but which captivates my attention. My work explores how to express those hidden features and how to render them in the portraiture. Leading up to the time I started painting faceless portraits. I was mainly interested in the postures of my subjects, in the internal movement that subjects produce while posing. This interest leaded me to paint a series of portraits where the faces did not have features. | |

My work captures a vision of the city in snapshots, the second before it changes forever. I am interested in the division between the real and the abstract, and relationships between those who inhabit both worlds. I focus on the moments where mirrored surfaces of the city are transformed by reflections, bringing color and movement into the monochromatic landscape. These fleeting images stop time, allowing a micro-examination of ordinary life. I am particularly intrigued with the early evening light, when blurred dusky forms become something unrecognizable, yet familiar. The effects of color multiply as if by a kaleidoscope effect, reflecting in a myriad of surfaces. By obliterating detail I strive to make sense of these ever-changing, mysterious, and haunting images. I paint in washes of oil, to mimic the excitement generated by the buzz of the city at night. The energy of the act of painting reflects the energy of the city. | |

Beyond technical ability, Zarb feels an artist't biggest challenge is to evoke emotion. To capture a fleeting moment or mood, involving the viewer in more than a photographic translation. She mixeds traditional materials with non-traditional style and flair. | |
