Painting was a frequent joy as a child growing up in Wales and I dreamed of becoming a skyscapist.   In 1995 I came to Southern California, and the vastness of the spaces rekindled that childhood love affair with the skies. 

After moving to Malibu in 2001, I had an opportunity to work on photography skills.  Another 5 months later I was having difficulty getting my mind off one particular photograph I had taken. I had an epiphany:“Now, you have to paint!”.   I first started working in watercolor, then moved to acrylics, murals, oils,  mixed media,  including watercolor collage and differently shaped surfaces and objects. Sky remains the major influence.

I started selling work in 2003, through a co-op gallery, group shows, and later through street fairs and other outlets.  I moved to the desert in 2004 and am living in a flat land with those long dawns and sunsets. In the last couple years I have been blessed with a number of solo gallery shows, and my first two public art murals.

::  http://danielsroka.com : v/f 815-301-8836 : @danielsroka Daniel Sroka creates abstract, dream-like images out of the simple elements of nature, such as leaves, sticks, flowers, and seeds. He finds most of his subjects as he walks through the parks and gardens near his home, collecting the sticks and leaves that have fallen to the ground. In his hands, these overlooked natural objects reveal their complexity and subtlety: "I work like a sculptor who lets the flaws and veins of a stone guide his chisel. As I explore each object, I let its unique characteristics guide my hand and eye, allowing me to discover patterns and forms hidden within the material."

My abstract textile paintings are informed by many elements: my love of the colors and geological forms of the southwest, repetition, pattern, and an attraction to human-made structures for containment such as fences and stone walls.  I work in series, exploring themes of interest in depth.  Color is of primary importance and is combined, intuitively, in unexpected ways, employing a unique palette of cotton fabrics I hand dye.


I am drawn to textiles by the tactile nature of the medium and intrigued by the flexibility of woven fabric in contrast to its underlying rigid grid construction.  I manipulate sections of preconstructed color, verses applying pigment in small brush strokes, to create a composition.  Individual elements are freehand cut and placed onto a flannel-covered studio wall, where I work improvisationally, designing, constructing and refining the lines and shapes in the piece.  Extensive stitching on the surface adds rich texture to the finished work.

“Making art and seeing the joy it brings to other people inspires me, and keeps me moving forward in life. Like music, art can take you to a different place and nurture your soul and spirit. Nothing makes me happier than to see a smile creep across someone’s face as they experience my art for the first time.”

Working out of her Chicago storefront studio, Anne Leuck Feldhaus celebrates life with paint.

Her simplified forms, sophisticated compositions and vivid color palettes provide a bold mix of contemporary folk and urban pop art.  As a pet adoption advocate, Feldhaus uses her animal-themed art to encourage support of animal welfare and shelter organizations.

In addition to pets, Anne’s imagery includes city and landscapes, narratives and the occasional still life. She welcomes and enjoys the collaborative nature of commission projects from initial sketches through execution and final delivery of the work.

The Foundation for Photo/Art in Hospitals is a USA nonprofit organization dedicated to placing large, colorful, and soothing photographs of nature in healthcare facilities around the world to give comfort and hope to patients, their families and care givers.

We have placed over 2500 photos in more than 150 facilities on 6 continents!
Established in 2002, the Foundation offers an extensive portfolio of photographs ranging from tropical beaches to Japanese cherry blossoms to the Tuscan hills, donated by the founder and photographer, Elaine Poggi.

“When I am scuba diving, I see incredibly colored fish and coral. When I am driving around the Tuscan hills, I feel the peace and tranquility of this land. When I am hiking in the Dolomite mountains with my husband and my little dog, I smell the fresh, crisp air. My hope is that my photos transmit these colors, feelings and scents to all the patients who view them.” Elaine Poggi

Check out our new Contributing Photographers Program.  If you are a nature photographer, and would like to donate one of your images to brighten a hospital room, please contact Elaine at epoggi@HealingPhotoArt.org.

I love finding great, wonderful shapes, both man-made or in nature, like the petals of a poppy, or the shadow created by an open shutter on a wall.  And I love to juxtapose them with color and pattern, playing them all off one another, and finding a point between them where they visually set each other off.

I look for those fulcrums, the points that are somewhere between opposite components in the colors, shapes and patterns, where magical visual things happen. Watercolors have the unique quality of transparency to exploit, so that when I’m layering them they make rich and intense color.

My exploration in watercolors is about how these elements interact with each other, about finding combinations that makes them each come alive. There is grandeur and simplicity in it, calm and peace and energy.

My goal for these digital collages is to explore the transcendent relationship between image and memory by digitally combining my photographs, drawings, and collages and transferring them onto reflective glass so that they seem to glow from within—a technique I believe helps express that relationship.

I want the hologram or “glowing” aspect of the work—and the way the look of a piece changes throughout the day as the light moves through the room—to provide ongoing opportunities to evoke your own non-verbal experiences about time, memory and “knowing” and allow that intuitive, subconscious understanding to rise to the surface.
