The Water’s Edge Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Clarissa Castillo-Ramsey Altadena, California, Swimming Acrylic Painting Artist Statement I am a self-taught artist. As a child, I loved stealing veggies from the neighbors and painting. I put on my little navy beret and matching smock and lost time painting and dreaming. I loved experimenting with paints, paper, and natural objects like pinecones and leaves. My mother crushed my artist spirit when she told me, at age 5, that I’d never make a living that way, so I stopped. Decades later, I let go of the past and got inspired by a group at my church,Read More →

The Water’s Edge Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist John Jaster Lake Arrowhead, California, Fountain Frolic Acrylic Painting Artist Statement My paintings all reflect a sense of anticipation. I like to start with a simple idea, for Fountain Frolic it was ‘water as sculpture’, and then place objects on the canvas, building up a set of complex relationships around the central theme. Other than the initial composition on a computer, I don’t do any drawings ahead of time, so I am never quite sure where a painting will take me from one session to the next. I am always surprised at the final product. IRead More →

The Water’s Edge Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Chalda Maloff Austin, Texas, Reflection of a New Moon Digital Art Artist Statement My “Sea Jewels” series of artworks are underwater flights of the imagination, mini-vacations for the eye and the psyche. Each piece employs a mixture of aesthetic techniques designed to engage and stimulate. Because I am a human ecologist, much of my art explores the interplay between an object and its environment. An edge or boundary between two shapes or forms assumes pivotal significance in these interactions; it can act as sharp clean delineator, give rise to ambiguous prismic refractions, or melt into oblivion.Read More →

In many of my photographs I strive to evoke an emotion, raise an uncertainty, or create a sense of movement by either isolating key elements or blurring the subject matter.

Flashes of color & light dance as I hold my first kaleidoscope up to one eye, find a source of light, & the rest of the world disappears while I endlessly turn.

At the same time, I am aware that our fish are disappearing or are contaminated. Their decline is a wake-up call to take better care of our planet.

As a surfer, I often find myself catching my breath at the dark, looming shapes under the surface, swarming around my dangling feet.

The Water’s Edge Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Robin Hextrum Aliso Viejo, California, Caligraphy Oil Painting Artist StatementI have always been drawn to the transitional state in water between transparency and opacity. I find it fascinating that the substance can alternate between being a window into a new and unexplored world, or a rippling mirror reflecting elements on land. In order to capture the abstract shapes in the reflection, I used a variety of brushes and painting knives. This ultimately gave the piece a golden pattern reminiscent of a Gustav Klimt painting.

The “inhale”, or undertow, begins at the bottom of the canvas with its foamy turmoil. As the water recedes, the undertow pulls the group of surfers, and the viewer’s eye, out to the horizon. The horizontal streaks of blue and white recede back into space. The wave pulls into its curl and rises up into the distance. I hoped to capture the “exhale” of exhilaration experienced by these surfers. HopeRead More →

In “On the Beach”, that white light can be found reflected against the red waves. Like a cool dip in the ocean in the sweltering heat of summer, cool green shadows turn to gold and red zones.
