Art Saves Lives
A work of art is the trace of a magnificent struggle." ---------Robert Henri
"For me, great paintings have always embodied a combination of the spirit of play with clarity of visual intention.
The inspiration behind my work often revolves around the simple concept of exploring the abstract elements: line, shape, value, color, texture, and edges---the basic tools in painting. Any subject matter is worthy. However, the endless variety of visual dialogue possible through the arrangement of these elements is what I find to be most exciting and timeless." -----------Quang Ho
"Hmmmmmmm?!?" ------------Libby Hart
Born and raised in the Chicago area, Libby attended Ripon College in Wisconsin. After graduation, she moved to Vail, Colorado, where she lived for over twenty years.
A serious bout of spring cleaning in 1991 revealed some ancient brushes and dusty paint tubes buried in the debris of the kitchen junk drawer. Instead of following her first instinct to toss them, she decided to sign up for a painting class at the local community college. It was the start of a journey, which lead to more classes, and eventually a move to Denver to study at the Art Students League.
The year 2000 found her relocating to Costilla, New Mexico where she was able to establish her home studio. There she currently pursues the "magnificent struggle" with the "elements of the visual dialogue" while mumbling "hmmmmmmm" on a daily basis.
Along the way, she has won several awards and a few avid collectors-------
