Painting
Diane’s interest in nature as a subject is longstanding, likely the result of living much of her life in rural Iowa’s expansive landscapes. Her work often reflects her interest in detailed observations of nature, focusing on close-cropped views, creating a more intimate examination of her world. More recent works reflect a return to her roots in abstraction while staying true to her interest in the landscape that surrounds her.

Mixed Media Painting, Watercolor
Igor Khalandovskiy was born in Ukraine in the city of Kharkiv.
Technically his paintings are general mixed media – tempera, pastel, watercolor, acrylic, and oil paints.
Igor's pictures are a fusion (blend) of symbolism and surrealism. Such an eclectic approach offers a unique opportunity to represent life as a dramatic duel between dreams and reality.
