We are so impressed with the variety of artists that submit their work each day from around the globe for inclusion in our Online Artist Gallery. Taking the time and the vulnerability to put your work ‘out there’ is a brave step in being seen.
Featured Artists from Around the Globe
Each month we select a featured artist, they can be seen here.
Every quarter and when we have a chance, we like to publish and draw attention to the variety of artists that submit a few art pieces and other artists that may only send one art piece in. Some of the artworks are sent without a description and others have descriptions that express the vision of the art.
Though continents away, the range of artists we’ve seen lately have a common feel or theme to their work.
Perhaps it is the struggle of uncertain times in a pandemic and the feelings of loss, isolation and loneliness. Look close at the following works of these artists and you will see a common thread.
Among the visuals a few words of expression were sent to us from a couple of the artist below.
“The only way i found to express my feelings.”
“…you could almost say that it’s my escape.”
And what is true for every artist, I believe it this:
“The work of the artist is to heal the soul.”

Realistic/impressionism Watercolors and Gouche
I try to set a particular mood in each painting whether a landscape or face. My collectors have called me the “Mood Master”. I am self-taught and have been painting since about 5th grade.
I retired from the aviation field and opened a studio in downtown Houston mainly painting my oils there. Watercolors in a home studio.
From an early age I was greatly inspired by Andrew Wyeth and the British painter J.M.W. Turner. I see art everywhere I look. It can be the smallest thing that I develop into a painting.

Abstract Landscape Painting
Acrylics, oils and mixed media
I’m a British painter (b 1990), living and working from my home studio in Forest Hill, London. I make medium to large scale abstract landscape paintings, primarily in acrylics or oil. I am a graduate of Bristol University of the West of England (2010-2013) and City & Guilds Art School (2009-2010).
My work is a response to landscape and nature – in both London, the city I grew up in, as well as countryside across the United Kingdom.

I create all my art work with acrylic paint. I love playing with the colors. My main inspiration comes from my 3 year old, honestly I’m in love with his boldness.

Isabella Mercado
I’m 17 years old and I live in a group home. I do art as a way to express myself. I love to paint and I love all different types of styles.. I love to do abstract art to express myself in many ways you could almost say that it’s my escape.
Mark Furber
Spain
48 years old, lover of Diego Velazquez, Caravaggio, and most of the Baroque painters, so very much classically influenced. I am artistically attracted to melancholy, suspended emotion, a look, a thought, fleeting and caught in film, in photos and on canvas. Most of my art isn’t the sort one would hang in ones living space.
Jimi Melo
Brazil
Traditional illustration, Digital illustration, Acrylic painting and Silkscreen
I usually portray everyday situations and challenges regarding the paranoid system to which we are inserted, using various techniques.
Hope you enjoyed viewing these artists and their work. Be sure and share and help spread the inspiration and the encouragement.
