Durre Waseem
Corona, California
“I grew up in a family that loved to draw and color. Â I took up formal art classes in college and earned a Masters degree from Punjab university where I taught for next seven years and later three at a girls college. It was during my teaching years that I explored myself as an artist with better understanding of seeing and omitting. For next 30 years of painting my colors and strokes evolved and as they adapted through my exposure to different art and places. I feel that now I only take charge of selecting a subject and my painting leads me through the process.”

Haidee-Jo Summers
Grantham, Great Britain
“My work is a celebration of light filled moments revealed in rich and vibrant oil paint using my personal visual language of fresh and direct brush marks. Painting en plein air is central to my practice but I am equally at home working from a model, still life or interior. I find beauty in the ordinary, mundane and intimate rather than the grand vista. Coastal locations, domestic interiors and gardens and allotments provide me with rich and endless subject material.”

Rick J. Delanty
San Clemente, California
“As I paint, I make decisions regarding the level of abstraction, so that the viewer is able to consider the essence of the subject more than the facts of its outward appearance, its inherent mystery. God’s creation is my subject. My intention is to convey His sovereignty and love for mankind in all of His works, and to express my belief that even though He cannot be seen, He most certainly may be felt.”
