 Marcello Corti

Born in Bergamo, Italy, Marcello Corti comes from a family of artists, painters, sculptors, and poets. Corti describes his portraits as “capturing on canvas the very soul of his subjects with swift and skillful paint strokes.”

Since 1986, Corti has produced imagery used in advertising and graphic design for major Italian companies. In 2006, he returned to painting and integrated his original artistic style with technology to develop unique artistic solutions. Corti uses Photoshop and his Mac with a pen tablet to create illustrations for paper stationery, picture books, gifts, and household items.

Corti’s extensive knowledge and experience in printing enables him to provide customers with suitable solutions, both from an artistic and a technical point of view. He also specializes in image production through lenticular printing, where printed images possess an illusion of depth, or appear to move as the image is viewed from different angles.

Corti applies his technology-based skills, roots as a painter, and his perception of color, form, and beauty as a broad toolset for creative expression.

DENISE DUNDON

I am an artist from Arvada, Colorado and I work in a variety of mediums.  When I first started painting as a teenager, I used traditional oils and my paintings were mostly landscapes.  Through the years, I have branched out to other mediums such as water-mixable oils, acrylics, and alcohol inks.  My artwork focus over the past year has been fluid and evolving with more of an emphasis on abstract work.  I have also been creating digital art with animal and nature themes.

I like my art to speak with colors and textures.  I use bright, but harmonious and thoughtful color combinations in my artwork.  I want my art to be powerful, uplifting and beautiful to view and I believe art should be an enjoyable experience.

SARINA

Sydney artist Sarina spent her childhood on the New South Wales Central Coast of Australia where she acquired not only a love for the sea, but also the creativity that infuses her art. After studying at the Sydney College of the Arts, where she studied fine art, textile and graphic design, Sarina began her career as a freelance designer producing everything from corporate identity packages to sports and surf wear. Following several successful exhibitions, demand for her paintings soon became so overwhelming that she decided to concentrate her efforts on that facet of her artwork.

Sarina’s unique style of painting in mixed media reflects her moods & inspiration….textured, aged & patterned still life, sea scapes and coastal views on canvas and paper which may involve layering materials like watercolor, acrylic, oils, inks, plaster, sand & gold leaf, sewing & stitching in nails, ropes, beads and shells before finishing with glazes or resin to simulate the luminosity of water. This results in exotic three dimensional artworks that are truly one of a kind. Her paintings inspire and create a sense of happiness, peace & tranquility every time they are seen.

Sarina’s work combines ideas from her travels and her love of the ocean. She has the unique ability to transcend creative boundaries of artistic media.
