Gerard Bahon Member Gallery

After a long working life in the hospitality industry, I started dappling in oil painting fifteen years ago. I am a mostly self taught artist and I paint for my pleasure. My style is a mix of Folk Art, Impressionism and Realism. Coming from Brittany in France, I love the sea and old boats. Lately, my interests have moved toward the Old West and its characters.

Geraldine Brettmann Member Gallery

Geraldine Brettmann holds a bachelor of fine art degree from the University of Texas at Arlington. The truth in line and rhythm is the content of Geraldine's work. The underlying colors that are subtle but expressive give her work its hidden value. Texture is the main focus to which she brings her audience for a closer look. She uses the past and present as a springboard for her emotional statement. Geraldine is a board member of AVAA.

Elva Robinson Member Gallery

I have dabbled in photography and in various art and craft media for most of my life. Experimentation with paper sculpture has been very satisfying and recently I began experimenting with a combination of photography and paper sculpture which I call "photosculpture." The ability to manipulate my photographs digitally makes it possible to work in a variety of styles. I don't limit myself to the realism of photography. In many creations it is not evident what the subject was in the original photo. I often add other media to the work as well. I am in the experimental stage (that's adult language for "I'm really just playing.") For pricing of any other questions, contact me at elvar54@yahoo.com.
