Mullany, Marla

Oil, sculpture, jewelry

I do impressionistic oil painting, often plein air.  I use vibrant colors for everyday scenes.  My sculpture is figurative usually for outdoors, but increasingly I'm using other mediums.  My jewelry is very funky and colorful.

Digital Art/Photography

My Digital Abstracts enable me to engage color, texture and shape to create a pixelated form.  Hidden in most digital images, I use the pixel to tell the story.  Its presence is essential to define the visual field - transition from one color to another, the shape and movement within the image. The pixel informs the viewer and at the same time hides within the image.  It is a result of thousands of on/off computer contortions. 

In a visual and digital world I am challenged to paint with the computer. Digital art is literally created by “painting with my mouse”.

Nature photography enables me to explore nature’s patterns/patterns in nature. I attempt to capture small details with large presentation; and capture large patterns in nature making the presentation small. Having minored in photography in college, I work to capture the image in the camera so that what I see through the lens is exactly what I print – little if any editing, very little color adjustment. It is my challenge. 

Newman, Bob

Painting

Seeing and photographing interesting and beautiful things in nature and everyday surroundings often suggests a story and a painting title which brings inspiration to start another painting. The sources of many of my paintings come from scenes near our cabin on Fish Trap Lake, Cushing, MN. I hope that you enjoy my depiction of nature’s creations as much as I enjoy painting them.

Bob was born with severe Hemophilia Type A and has experienced numerous life threatening and crippling challenges. In 2005 he was honored by the MN/Dakota Hemophilia Chapter with the  Lifetime Achievement award. Bob painted his first oil painting at fourteen when his Aunt sent him some brushes and oil paint while confined to bed with a lingering illness. Before graduating from high school, he was well known by his classmates for his colored pencil drawings. Deciding to attend art school, he started his own sign and showcard painting business for tuition and art supplies, often trading showcards for food at a hamburger shop near the art school.
Bob attended Minneapolis School of Art (now Minneapolis Collage of Art and Design) and Gene Hundredmark Graphic Arts School before entering the commercial art field in 1951. After a few months of working for advertising agencies, he started doing technical illustration for a farm machinery manufacturer. In 1961, he and a copywriter founded Manual-matic Company and operated it as owner and President for 43 years. Most of his work was black and white exploded view line drawings. During those years, he occasionally painted watercolor landscapes. In 2004, Bob finally shut down his illustration business and followed the urge to oil paint landscapes, still life, portraits (adults, children and pets) and florals.

Pricing
Price for framed oil paintings are based on size and complexity but most are in the $195.00 to $900.00 range. I prefer working with the subject on portrait commissions or if photos are the only thing available they should be several views from different angles (no flash). All commissions require 50% down before starting.

Proulx, Michael

Oil and Acrylic Painting

I like to paint large paintings with acrylics and oils in a photorealistic style.  My inspiration comes from photographs of tightly packed urban areas.  I see them as abstractions.

Ruskin-Shanklin, Elizabeth

Painting, Collage

I have a BFA from UW Superior, painting and dance…what an experience in my 20's to explore media with materials and gesture.  The gesture of the arm, the texture and abstractions are the focus of my work. Then I jump back to collage and color and new ways of seeing.  I am presently working in abstractions and looking forward to some plein air abstract spring landscapes.

Hand-Made Paper Products with Pressed Flowers

My love of flowers started at an early age when I followed my Grandmother from flower to flower as she pointed them out.  She did not speak much English but I managed to absorb the names anyway.  From the lovely blue bachelor buttons that reseeded themselves every year, to the gorgeous mounds of pink, white and burgandy peonies, we spoke a common language.

Now my love of flowers extends to taking the blossoms from my gardens, pressing them to preserve them, and placing them artistically into my hand-made paper products.  I have received several awards for my various creations.
