Freedom Call for Entries Accepted Artists   Artist Shari Vogt West Covina, California, Sundance   Oil Painting Artist Statement I began painting later in life as a means to fill time and found it to be so much more. It taps into a place deep within my psyche that allows me to be so present in my thoughts and wash me from the mundane tasks of life.

The feelings and emotions that washed over me as I painted thispieceRead More →

Freedom Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Nasser Ghaderi West Vancouver, Canada Where We Met Acrylic Painting Artist Statement I arrived to painting with the background of poetry and film. The medium of painting matched my sense of energy and expression. In an effort to produce original and spontaneous work, I made the conscious decision to refrain from formal art training and from studying other artists’ work. Similarly, I abstained from using conventional tools and techniques. Instead I throw, splash, drizzle, drip, swirl … paint on the canvas, yet each painting dictates its own technique. I escape point of view by focusing on process andRead More →

Freedom Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Laura Pritchard Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania The Sleeves Fabric Art Artist Statement My work is a reverent, poetic approach to creating interesting and detailed worlds on silk. The luminous fabric is a joy to work on and watching the colors of the dyes spread as they are absorbed is transfixing. The molten wax, as resist, is warm and flexible and creates another dimension to the experience. The imagery is drawn from sketches made from paying attention to the details of life. The entire effort is an homage to the paying attention to the beauty of the decorations of the worldRead More →

Freedom Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Ulrike Scheuchl Laguna Beach, California IndependenceFine Art Photography Artist StatementI feel fortunate to live a life that allows great freedom of mobility. I lived in Austria, England, Canada, Germany and Switzerland and currently reside in the United States. While I took thousands of pictures over the years, I only recently started to explore a more artistic side of photography. Some of my works are created by overlaying multiple images or by adding other effects. The piece “Independence” shows that independence is not a reality in nature. The Haida people in the Pacific Northwest have a saying: “Everything dependsRead More →

Freedom Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Maya Just Maya Kenilworth, New Jersey Call To The Beyond Oil Painting Artist Statement Art is a portal through which I engage the complexity of the world and journey into the depths of my inner experience.

Making art is a catalyst for transformative growth, through which I deepen my understanding of the cycles of life, death, and renewed life. I exploreRead More →

Freedom Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Lily Nava Irvine, California, USA Synchronicity Acrylic Painting Artist Statement I grew up in Bronx, NY, very humble beginnings with an endless imagination and the heart and mind for anything mystical and dreamy. Back then, you could always find me somewhere sitting quietly sketching women with goddess-like garb creating a wardrobe on paper, that as a young girl in the Bronx, I would likely never see. I had passing thoughts of being a fashion designer. The images of my childhood sketches lay dormant for many years until 2003 when I started sketching and took on oil painting, mostlyRead More →
