Fairfield Porter (June 10, 1907 – September 18, 1975) was an American painter and art critic. He was the fourth of five children of James Porter, an architect, and Ruth Furness Porter, a poet from a literary family. 

While a student at Harvard, Porter majored in fine arts; he continued his studies at the Art Students' League when he moved to New York City in 1928. His studies at the Art Students' League predisposed him to produce socially relevant art and, although the subjects would change, he continued to produce realist work for the rest of his career. He would be criticized and revered for continuing his representational style in the midst of the Abstract Expressionist movement.

I believe in you

Raise me up

"There is so much darkness and sorrow in this world. I no longer want to paint the dark side... I would like my art to be a contribution to the beauty of this world... I want it to be heart warming for all people... I would like my art to be a message of peace ..."

Theresa Paden, abstract art

Theresa Paden's unique painting style captures the essence of her subjects.
“My paintings are inspired by my love of wildlife, horses, Native Americans, and
the captivating images of the West. I express my passion on canvas with vibrant
color and bold brush work. My hope is that viewers will be energized by the
colors and textures, and emotionally connected to the subjects I paint.”

there's something childish and poetic in these coloured animals...

Born 1974, in Eckernförde North Germany. Studied HAW Hamburg In the last 5 years my work has been mainly animalistic, playing with form aesthetics and innovative modelling. I combine different styles while working from naturalism to naivety.
