The competition attracted entries from many countries across the world: Canada, Finland, Portugal, Germany, Taiwan, USA, Italy, Romania, Hungary, Ireland and Switzerland. Enjoy the show and thank you for expressing an interest in our competition.

The primary goal of the artist and the viewer should be to experience the joy of the creative process through work that attempts to capture the intersection of curiosity and tranquility. Every painting is a book; and each one is judged by its cover. These particular paintings reference the Catalina Mountains, an iconic landmark in Tucson, AZ.

I believe that each tree has its own identity, its own story. Through my paintings, I convey a moment in their lives when they caught my eye, a unique moment that pays tribute to them. In each of my works, which I affectionately call my tree portraits, I integrate small pieces of real bark. They are a tangible reminder of the precious and fragile co-presence between man and nature. Tree preservation and forest biodiversity are very close to my heart. Through my paintings, I hope to encourage people to live in harmony with nature, and especially to respect it. An awareness that we are all interrelated with this grandiose natural world, which can bring us so many benefits.

The selection of subject matter for my art is usually prompted by an inspiration that stimulates my creativity. This could be a memory, an experience, a face, or just an extended gaze at a mesmerizing sky. Before I begin a painting, I like to visualize the finished piece on display, with the audience being captivated by the work. My strategy then, is to approach each step with the intent of making that vision a reality

Winter’s Lace. The light of a new day often puts the anxiety and fear of a winter storm to one of joy and wonder. Waking up to a bright clear morning after a night of continuous snow, I knew the day was going to be special. It provided the opportunity to experience the light-filled snow that covered branches resting in a peaceful repose. Turn after turn revealed intricate patterns and open weave designs reminiscent of light weight Irish lace that is transparent with open areas within the fabric of the winter landscape. Beneath the Surface Light reveals and transforms how the eye sees its subjects. Beneath the Surface uses the interruption of light to reveals the patterns and warm colours under the water in contrast to the cool reflections dancing on the water’s surface.
