MALLO BISSET
My artwork celebrates the things that make me happy. While my subject matter does vary, I am greatly influenced by my love of color, animals, and nature. I have always lived close to the sea, so water and the color blue seem to be a part of me and often make it onto my canvas. When I get an idea for a painting and I can’t stop thinking about it, I know it’s time to get to work. Often it’s these obsessive moments that lead to the best work. The most rewarding feeling is seeing a smile on the face of someone viewing my work and nothing compares to the satisfaction of having someone bring home a piece of my work. Hopefully, my artwork makes you happy too!
CHARLIE COTE
Cheryl Cote’ (pronounced “koh-TAY”) is a prolific, contemporary artist who lost her right eye to cancer when she was only six months old. In 2010, Cheryl also lost a significant portion of central vision in her remaining eye to a condition known as retinal edema. This condition prevents Cheryl from driving and reading written text requires a magnifying glass. Cheryl is currently under the care of a well-known retinal oncologist in Miami. She has appointments every three weeks to undergo extensive diagnostics and have an injection into her eye to preserve her vision. Despite Cheryl’s visual impairment she recently found a way to return to her passion for art. Cheryl hopes her artwork will bring joy to those who view it and that it encourages others struggling to overcome their own challenges in life.

” Hanging Out” by Angela Krogen
Art is an expression of our beings! It has always been a hidden talent since childhood, as I watched my family members display this gift as architects, graphic designers and decorators.I am inspired to paint flowers and landscape themes, as I learn about viewing colors and how beautifully light reflects upon nature creating shapes and movement.My desire in artis to convey a sense of joy through this meaningful expression of nature. It is a tool of communication with amessage that will bring a sense of balance and alignment to the viewer.Colors in art bring a sense of well being. Whether used inRealism or Impressionistic, they are tools to impart beauty and bring about vibrations of good mood and stability.
