Sheryl Thomas

I see a photograph everywhere I look. I love being able to capture a moment that moved or inspired me. Whenever I go out with camera in hand I just wait for the world to speak to me. Often, in my photos I see something that the naked eye missed. And those are the moments that are most gratifying to me. The lens can cut right through the outer layer to see something much deeper. Even the most mundane scene can make a great photo.



Pet Portraiture

Pet Portraiture offers a colorful Warhol inspired portrait of your special family member. A photo of your pet (or person) is all that is needed to create your own Portraiture.

"My paintings explore more of a cultural environment in urban areas, which has leaded me into mixed media.

I use wood, canvas, newspaper, old sogns and other found objects to help me undertand my relationship to the world around me."

"Life begins and ends with a beautiful mess of opportunities...
It's opportunities where the classis and distinct combine in refreshingly unexpected ways. This is beauty defined by Alyse Ziede.

Alyse's designs have been worn by famous stars such as Halle Berry, Keri Russell and many others."


Brian Patrick

Artist
Brian Garay
"The act of painting is an intensely personal one. Painting is about having a vision, a thought, and a desire to communicate on a level of intimacy that conventional language will not allow."




Koru Street
"To prove that eco-friendly can be fun, colorful and even silly sometimes. And can go beyond the environmental benefits to improve the lives of others all around the world."




Found Objects
"At Found Objects, fashion isn’t about trends, labels or what’s “hot” at the moment. It’s all about cultivating a sense of style that makes a statement about the wearer and reflects the spirit within."
