There's something really refreshing about the artwork of Erin McCarty of Portland. Her colorful paintings exude a great deal of vibrance, artistic freedom, and life. I like how she doesn't keep her work "inside the box", but instead allows herself to untap what's going on in her subconscious.…

What's completely amazing about these murals is that it unites hundreds of artists together to create one unified masterpiece. Started in 2004 by Lewis Lavoie, Phil Alain and Paul Lavoie, mural mosaics are assembled after taking a single painting from an individual and placing it in sequence. (The painters have to is adhere to some color and shape guidelines.) I love…

Born in Manchester in 1968, Rob Hefferan's beautiful oil paintings are almost beyond words. He has the rare, uncanny ability to create realistic scenes with only his imagination and a paintbrush. The way he captures skin tones, movement, and fabric is remarkable.…

If Takashi Murakami had an imaginative little daughter who would she be? How would she draw? Perhaps she would be like one of the girls in Chiho Aoshima's paintings. Born in 1974 in Tokyo, Japan, Chiho Aoshima uses computer technology to create beautiful, imaginary fantasy worlds. She uses the 'superflat'movement, a term coined by artist…

Sure we could download something off the internet and print them away but we'd rather have high quality art from emerging artist that we can collect. Jen Bekman must have heard our cries because she's come up with a great website,…

Under the Unminding Sky
We love Gregory Thielker's art, not only because we can't believe they're actually paintings and not photographs, but also because he can transport us into another time and place. When we look at his paintings, Thielker wants us to experience those moments when we're driving in our car on a cold and rainy day. He wants us to…
