Casey Baugh was born to be an artist. Even at the early age of 4, Baugh had pencil in hand and was passionately advancing his skill with exercises provided by his Father and Aunt. This early exposure gave him the sturdy foundation needed to excel at a very early age.
    Aside from winning the Cover Competition for American Artist Magazine and two television appearances, Baugh's reputation as a true artist of quality is a force growing with each painting as collectors from coast to coast eagerly invite his work into their homes.
    Baugh attributes the majority of his knowledge to the  teachings of Master Painter, Richard Schmid. Both Baugh and Schmid continue to  work side by side as they explore the great depths of paint and its uses to create beauty. Baugh also absorbs the work of great painters such as Sargent, Zorn, Sorolla and a great host of others who have left their mark in the great world of art.
    Despite his young age of 23, artists from around the world seek out Baugh's knowledge and inspiration through his ongoing workshops, classes and instructional material. Baugh's most recent DVD, "Sketching the Portrait", is being promoted by Richard Schmid and is used in colleges around the world as required viewing by students.
    Baugh's work and passion for painting has never been stronger as he continues to paint and think outside the boundaries. Baugh, his wife Linlee and their daughter, Avaleigh, currently live outside of Boston where they enjoy the adventure and excitement of their journey through life.

The themes in Audrey Kawasaki's work are contradictions within themselves. Her work is both innocent and erotic. Each subject is attractive yet disturbing. Audrey's precise technical style is at once influenced by both manga comics and Art Nouveau. Her sharp graphic imagery is combined with the natural grain of the wood panels she paints on, bringing an unexpected warmth to enigmatic subject matter.

The figures she paints are seductive and contain an air of melancholy. They exist in their own sensually esoteric realm, yet at the same time present a sense of accessibility that draws the observer to them. These mysterious young women captivate with the direct stare of their bedroom eyes.

There are many other painters in the world, but the collectors of Csaba Markus will tell you that there is only one whose paintings can create such contrasts within such harmony, one who can express the Eternal Feminine in her many guises, both as mortal woman and as mythological goddess. There is one who does not paint merely to please the eye, but to shake the soul of the viewer. There is only one, and his name is Csaba Markus.

The gradual shaping of Markus’ artistic style and philosophy found its origins in Budapest, Hungary, where the artist was born in 1953. He spent the first half of his life enmeshed in the traditions and Old World ideologies of Europe, and in his search for direction, he discovered and thoroughly embraced the artists of the Renaissance. His mentors became the works of artists such as Michelangelo, Caravaggio, and Botticelli, and his goal echoed their own: to find the perfect way of expressing himself through his art.

Вот перед нами лежит голубой Эльдорадо!
И всего только надо опустить паруса.
Здесь наконец мы в блаженной истоме утонем,
Подставляя ладони золотому дождю.

Здесь можно петь и смеяться, и пальцы купать в жемчугах,
Можно гулять по бульварам и сетью лукавых улыбок
Можно в девичьих глазах наловить перламутровых рыбок
И на базаре потом их по рублю продавать.

Черной жемчужиной солнце розовеет в лазурной воде,
Наши надежды сверкают роскошью этого Юга.
В этой безумной любви мы, конечно, утопим друг друга,
И будем вместе лежать, как две морские звезды...
