Caroline Josephs, with ‘Becoming Country, Becoming Art’, 59” x 78.5” AcrylicAnd that story or meaning-making, can be ‘no story, no journey’, just painting, just the next stroke, and the next….I paint and draw, draw out my quests, refining the searching, to connect with earth, sea, and sky, other ways of knowing. Andperhaps, in some molecular way, to help keep our earth alive.Caroline Josephs Ph.D. is an artist, storyteller, educator -- living in Sydney, and drawing inspiration from close tohome, as well as trekking in remote areas of Australia.www.Art-Mine.com/Artistpage/Caroline_Josephs_phd.aspxVéroniKaHBorn in France and currently living in Montreal, artist VéroniKaHmerges the realms of the representational and the abstract inorder to create images brimming with life and hope. Combining inkswith acrylic and mixed-media, she creates a profound visual effect thatblends color, texture and form in new and unique ways. Compositionbrings rhythm and balance to the canvas, while her choice of huesand surfaces imbue energy into the work. Recognizable forms are setagainst abstract backgrounds to create stunning and forceful imagesthat ultimately speak to the heart and soul of what it is to be human.The influence of VéroniKaH’s passion for dancing is evident in the wayher paintings vibrate with movement, but a lifelong battle with anorexiahas also inspired a personal quest for healing and grace that pervadesher work. In the end, her manipulations of colors, textures and formsall serve to create an artistic vision that eliminates the barriers thatoften separate us as humans. For VéroniKaH, “The paintings create afeeling of connecting with the world and the determination to survive.. . . There are no barriers, no language differences, no age or sexobstacles, nothing to stop the intuition of everybody’s mind. . . becauseat the end of the day, we are all the same.”www.veronikah.comwww.Agora-Gallery.com/ArtistPage/VéroniKaH.aspxCourage Acrylic & Ink on Canvas 48” X 60”75 ARTisSpectrum
