Michael Seewald

Ghost of Florence, Italy by Michael Seewald / winner S.D. Museum of Photographic Art 1991 international photo competition.

Michael Seewald has created museum award winning images for over four decades now! After winning painting awards at the age of 13, he traded in his brushes for a camera. He received a journalism degree, with emphasis in photography, from San Diego State University. He went on to work for various newspapers and magazines and eventually opened a photographic art gallery in Encinitas, coincidentally, the same month and year the San Diego Museum of Photographic Art did, in May of 1983. He exhibited his and dozens of other photographic artists over these many decades, some well known: Aaron Chang; Ruth Bernhard and Brett Weston.

After a few years of working trying to sell his art, with no time to actually make it, he developed a ‘sponsorship’ program, where folks invest at reduced rates over opening night, to pay for travels around the world so that he could. With little or no money, but plenty of film, he hit the road. And now, as of 12.2013, he has 61 trips under his belt, many taking national and international awards. He now averages $2K to $3K, and up to $9K, per sale sight-unseen for these ‘futures’.

Michael had his first major museum exhibition, entitled ‘Life Elsewhere’ in Kunming, China, in May of 2011. He is represented in China, and now has his gallery in Del Mar, at the Del Mar Plaza, and exhibits images from many of his portfolios, including: Russia; Morocco; Israel; China; Croatia; India; Greece; Bali; Australia; Italy; Iceland; Turkey; Laos; France; Portugal; all the Hawaiian Islands; Japan, Costa Rica and Nepal, just to name a few. He teaches world wide too, but mostly Yosemite, Carmel and Napa, besides locally with his 2 and 3 day ‘A-Z workshops’. His current exhibit is Cuba, and is open Wed. to Sundays, but call ahead as he’s a one man band and gone often. 858.793.3444. Website to view art is www.seewald.com.

Bio :

Born and raised in Denver Colorado, I worked as a International Transportation consultant and Customer Relations as well as Marketing. I am now a full time artist now and I work with several medias such at Oil, Acrylic, Water color, Pointillism and Scratch board. I enjoy the scratch board because I work with knives and tools in order to create a master piece on the scratch board which has a black surface (Indian ink coated) and once you scratch on the surface it becomes white. I enjoy wild life, the country, animals, portraits and abstract. I have been told I am a illustrators with big a vision. My art work reflects my life's experience and my creative eye that I have been Blessed with. I have never been to college for this, but I was the president of the Art honor Society for two years back when I was in high school. This is my PASSION and for sales or and request please contact me at (slowereations@msn.com).

L'Odeur du Vent - huile sur toile - 60x90cm

http://www.dominiquehoffer.ch/

Born in Geneva, Switzerland, I worked as a professional pilot for various Swiss and South African airlines until 1988.
In 1988, I quit the cockpit and dedicated myself to painting. Oil on canvas has become my tool. I live and work in St-Oyens, Vaud, Switzerland.
I like to figure strange, unusual, poetic situations including these four elements : Nature, human beings, animals and objects. All elements are figured in a realistic manner, but in an unreal collection.


South Africa, where I lived for many years, remains in my mind and my work reflects, with no doubt, this particular atmosphere.

Cindy A Stephens, Wellesley MA, Archival inkjet print, 2009

Bio: I specialize in photography of main streets and back roads using unusual framing and multiple planes of perspective. My Reflections from Main Street USA portfolio presents a unique approach to the concept of Main Street that has been at the heart of American culture for decades. My photography is influenced by a passion for discovery, a love of travel, and a desire to connect with the natural world. It reflects a "take the road less traveled" philosophy and Capra-esque outlook.

Sabine Hawkins

Bio -
 Born in Germany, Sabine came as a young teacher with her fiance to Australia on a working holiday and taught for nine years in Melbourne. On her way home, she met her husband John Hawkins, a broadcaster of classical music and they now live in Brisbane. Sabine studied with tutors like William Robinson, Roy Churcher, Errol Barnes and Merv Mueling for her Associate Diploma in Creative Arts and completed a double major in painting and sculpture.

 Since graduating, she has been teaching up to sixty students in her Brisbane studio per week while producing her experimental artistic creations in two and three dimensions. Until recently, all of her exhibitions have been connected with her students' work. For the first time, Sabine has exhibited her own body of work - icons she has 'read' in recent years. This exhibition can now be viewed on this site.

 This collection is still in progress, with the seventeenth coat, the Mantle of Beauty and Ceremony, currently being created.
