Water

John Ambrose

The small seaside towns of Cornwall, England have nurtured many famous impressionist artists, attracted by its beauty and tranquility. John Ambrose has been capturing these atmospheric scenes since 1962. His water glistens and shimmers, his clouds flow majestically across the sky and the jetties, boats and buildings, contracting with the dark against the light, are testaments to his mastery of chiaroscuro.

Rosa Canto

Rosa Canto was born in Alcoy, Alicante, Spain in July, 1968.  Her artistic studies started at the Fine Arts School in Alcoy and continued in Valencia at the San Carlos Fine Arts University.  Canto is a master with paint.  On her canvases she shapes her landscapes, infusing them with the great flavor and character of her native country.  Her favored subjects are landscapes.  Forgetting the romanticism often seen, she looks for the nature and realism in her subjects.  She takes a visual picture of fields full of brilliantly colored flowers or serene Spanish villages.  Her goal is to be set apart from the traditional subjects of the artists from her region, by always portraying her homeland from her personal point of view.

Scott Jones

Scott Jones was born in Cleveland in 1958. He studied at the prestigious Columbus College of Art and Design and presently works in his beloved painting studios in Key West, Northern Kentucky and on the shores of Lake Michigan. An intriguing aura surrounds Jones’ paintings. His work contains something engaging – a mood, movement and often exotic use of light that embraces his viewers and invites them into the work as if they were attending one of the many theatrical performances or café scenes Jones so loves to create. He calls them “scene stealers.” In his travels to the great romantic cities, he captures the mood-drenched scenes on canvas. One can’t help being taken in by the festive attitude and timeless moods created by Scott. In addition to Jones’ participation in dozens of one man exhibitions, he has participated in countless group shows, designed theatrical sets and acquired numerous public and private commissions. His work is exhibited and collected throughout the United States and France.

The artist is available for commissions, allowing the buyer to specify size, subject matter and color.

Heather McAlpine

Heather McAlpine was born in Scotland in 1962. She moved to London to study where she earned a BA in Fine Art (1st class Honors) from the University of East London and an MA in painting from the Royal College of Art. McAlpine says: “The West Coast forests and sea have provided inspiration for my recent paintings. Armed with my camera and macro lens, I collect images of seaweed, leaves and lichen. They provide the ‘raw materials,’ the starting point for my work in the studio. The actual material of paint and the painterly marks serve as metaphors for energy, movement and growth. Rich texture is achieved by building up layers of color, suggesting time and evolution. During the process, the images become pared down, leaving elemental marks. My ultimate aim is to explore the relationships between abstraction, color and the vitality of the natural world.” Heather has exhibited widely in the UK, including Oxford, Southampton and London, including the Royal Academy Summer Show. Emigrating to Vancouver in 1999, she continues to be inspired by the natural world.

Nancy Ngo

Born in Chicago, Ill., but transplanted to Arizona as a child, Nancy Ngo received her B.F.A. degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2001.  Nancy's awareness of the play of light and shadow and its effect on color plays an important role in her work today.  The dichotomy of the natural desert landscape of Arizona versus the urban downtown environment of Chicago led her to a certain "no rules" style of painting.  Her paintings have a certain raw, playful, and sometimes unfinished quality in which the work holds a kind of potential energy, excitement and freedom.  Ngo’s work is held in collections throughout the United States.

Fortunato Ornaghi

Ornaghi was born in the Lombard area of Italy in 1930. Orphaned at a very early age, he grew up in an artisans’ institute where he studied design. He later attended the Art Academy, under the direction of Italy’s well-known artist, “Parma.”

Ornaghi enjoys the beauty that he says can only be found in nature. In fact, he spends much of his time in the open air with his portable palette and canvas. His palette is rich in shading, from the cold, slightly misty colors of dawn breaking, to the warm reddish tones of a summer sunset, the tender green of spring and the white winter of snow.

The artist’s work is exhibited throughout Europe and the United States.

Kathleen Doud Reilley

Kathleen Doud Reilley, a fourth generation resident of Ventura, California, was born into a family of artists. She grew up with easels, paints, pastels, art classes and gallery visits. She received her B.A. from Chico State, with a major in Liberal Studies and a minor in Art. After a teaching career lasting several years, she turned to serigraphs for the next 20 years, printmaking on paper, fabrics and tiles. Her focus on encaustic painting only began in 2003. Doud Reilley’s compositions are paintings in the encaustic medium, representing aspects of nature, from landscapes to seascapes, often focusing on the horizon line, the line that separates us from our place on earth and the heavens. Encaustic paint consists of beeswax and pigment with a resin base. It must be heated before application, each layer of paint fused to the layer beneath. Encaustic paint can be opaque or translucent, giving a unique depth to the finished product. And, when heated, the beeswax smells divine, often attracting hummingbirds to the sweet honeyed fragrance in Kathleen’s studio.

William Rengifo

William Rengifo was born in Tarapoto, Peru in 1958 and graduated from Escuela de Bellas Artes de Lima.  Rengifo’s work is inspired by the works of Monet, Renoir and Cezanne, especially as it relates to their ability to capture light.  He struggled for years to affirm his preference for impressionism in an art school that emphasized abstraction, but in the end his style emerged as a genuine representative of the style.  He has presented his work in over 50 shows in South and North America.

Armando Romano

Romano was born in Naples in 1953. After studying art in the local Academy, he started his career with art restoration and the reproduction of ancient paintings. From here he evolved to an intense study of landscapes, immersing himself in light effects and the variation of colors, according to the change of seasons. Romano does not give an interpretation of the landscape, he reproduces it scrupulously. The natural light is a prerogative in the artist’s work, which he captures with warm and sunny tonalities, which together with the strength and speed of his brush strokes, give his paintings spontaneity and clarity. Romano is present in several art publications and has exhibited in some of the most important galleries in Italy, the rest of Europe and the United States.

J.C. Seo

His work is influenced by 19th century masters Anders Zorn and John Singer Sargent. He prefers to work on a warm palette, balancing passages of rich color with delicate grays. Through subtle color harmonies and lighting, Seo is quite adept at creating a sense of mood in each of his paintings. His work is on display throughout the United States and Asia.

Helen Zarin

Helen Zarin was born in Shirae, Iran in 1970.  She was recognized early as having extraordinary talent and studied under the well known Persian artist, Saber.  She later enrolled in the Art & Culture Society, a national organization for gifted Persian artists.  There she was recognized by the Iranian Society as a “God Gifted Talented Artist.”  Conditions in her native country eventually compelled Helen to turn elsewhere for creative nourishment.  In Helen’s words “Hard work and God given talent are not enough for an artist to progress and blossom; Creative freedom in the right atmosphere is essential.”  She journeyed first to Europe, where she displayed her work in Vienna.  Helen has lived and worked in Baltimore, Maryland since 1993.  Zarin’s work is displayed throughout the United States.
