He grew up in East Anglia in the UK, a region that inspired British landscape painters such as John Constable and Thomas Gainsborough who he greatly admires. During his childhood, his father owned a family printing business, so there was always an abundance of spare paper to hone his drawing skills from an early age.

Peter Emerson

Working directly from life, Peter Emerson puts himself in the shoes of the 19th century painters. Like those men and women, he does not carry a camera with him. As he seeks out painting spots, he is ever conscious of the light. “Light can bring out the beauty in those things that otherwise appear ugly and distasteful. I am not just painting the beautiful creation; I’m painting light wherever I am, finding beauty in the undervalued as well as the obvious.” For as long as Peter can remember, he has been drawn to marine art. As an artist that paints…

Clayton Liotta

It all began for artist Clayton Liotta when he was found by a band of Gypsies, as an infant, by the side of the road, under a squashed cabbage leaf. Growing up among these kind-hearted people, he was taught the ancient art of broom making. He spent countless hours weaving straw into brooms and listening to stories told by tribal elders about the world beyond the roving caravans. Much of his free time was spent daydreaming and by taking bits of unused straw and, using them as makeshift pencils, drawing in the dirt…An artist was born! When finally old enough,…

Jane Cooper

Artist and designer, Jane Cooper, graduated from Denison University with a BA in Theatre. Post working professionally on Broadway, she focused on design and fine art. In describing her art, Cooper states, “Painting is like theatre. In my life, the two are inexorably linked. They are worlds I move between. Process, character and light. Color, form and performance. For me, it is blue. I cannot leave it aside. It is the color pervading all memory. The blue of Delft, the murky indigo of the creek by our house, the lakes of Michigan, sapphire seas around New Zealand, the blue of…
