  • Greg Mort
    Greg Mort
    Muralist; Painter; Sculpture
    Artist Statement - Greg Mort The Arts have always had the ability to transcend language, culture, and the centuries. Since the dawn of our collective human memory, art in its myriad forms has expressed our hopes, our fears, and our loves while also serving as an interpretive record of the world around us. Then as now, the voice of Art remains a powerful communicative tool. In this, the new millennium, the realization that we indeed live on “One World” carries with it responsibilities never dreamt of by our distant ancestors as they expressed their visions on cave walls and with carved fertility icons. We now recognize the fragility of our planetary home and the profound role each of us plays in the drama of life on Earth. Now more than ever the “Artist” will play an ever-increasing part in a cast that must include…all of humanity. The visual arts are in fact a calling out to those who speak the language that is universally understood. One that has the potential to raise awareness, inspire and celebrate our role as “Stewards” of our tiny oasis in space. At this point in history no challenge is more important or more immediate in nature. Our very survival depends on it. As an artist my goal is to use my creative tools to bring the notion of “Stewardship of our Earth” to the forefront of our conversations and consciousness.
  • Carol Vogel
    Carol Vogel
    Illustrator; Multiple Art Forms; Painter; Teacher/Instructor
    Award winning, classical still life and pet and people portrait painter, I am known for myrealistic and expressive paintings. Paintings that dance with energy, color, and form with a remembrance for the classical style of the old masters best describe my interest and painting style.  I especially enjoy painting portraits of people and pets and bringing their spirit to life on canvas.  A love of collecting vintage glass and ceramics inspire my still life paintings along with a passion for travel to international locations.  My still life paintings reflect a mood and feeling often with lush pattern backgrounds, vivid color, and unusual combination of supports and collectible items. Humanitarianism combined with a love of people inspire my pastel, oil, and pencil portraits. There is a depth of beauty in every face that reflects an inner soul. Capturing the inner soul is an inborn ability for me that is reflected in my representational and expressive portrait paintings. EDUCATION American University Art League School of Alexandria, Va.
