February 2012 New Members:
“I have worked primarily in pastel and realism for nearly ten years, then began experimenting in a variety of other media. Recently I have been creating more mixed media pieces, including some abstract work. Since I love learning and new challenges, this is where I plan to continue to concentrate my efforts.”
Jean Villneuve
paints in watercolor. His passion is attuned to the bucolic rhythms and magnificent scenery of the Lowcountry, and he finds inspiration in the ever-changing shapes and colors of the marshes and beaches.
January 2012 New Members:
Medium: Abstract Drawings and Paintings, W/C and Gouache
"I draw to remember; a moment, a place, a portrait, a face. I make lines of what I see and am forever reminded off the time it was. Sometimes closing my eyes to truly see, I draw lines on paper."
Missy Gentile
Medium: Abstracts, Oil, Mixed Media
Painting gives me a way to express myself and connect with people. It's a visual experience through color, shape and form...all combined making a definite statement. I am passionate about and interested in enriching the lives of people of all ages through my art. As a painter I strive to follow my aesthetic inspirations with soulful and mindful tenacity every day of my life. I believe at the core of every artist’s heart is an abundance of love and joy, and the only way to give that love and joy is to create it through their art.

"The meaning of color and shape make a more definite statement than words."
Through color, form, and light, images from my daily surroundings are transformed into painted worlds of hyper-realism. Quiet spaces in the natural world often inspire and intrigue me to explore further to satisfy these curiosities. My images emerge while focusing on nature and utilizing captured moments through a camera lens for reference. Timing is critical as a "snap shot" moment is rendered in the Northern California light radiating a luminescence that blankets over the image. The subject matter is then sketched and painted in either Oil or Watercolor.
Working often in large scale format combined with the vibrant use of color, soft transitions, and nearly undetectable brush work, creates a kinetic energy into these painted, microcosm environments. While my work is primarily based in Oil and Watercolor, I continue to explore other mediums and methodologies including sculpture.
