Mary Alayne Thomas, 1977 | Mixed-media / Fantasy painter

Raised by two full time artists in Santa Fe New Mexico, Mary Thomas has had a strong desire to create since childhood.

Finding constant inspiration from her memories of New Mexico, as well as from the beauty of her current home in Portland Oregon, her paintings continually attempt to capture those magic ephemeral moments we all experience, both real and imagined.

Stephen Pan 潘仲武, 1963 | Ballet dancers

Stephen Pan 潘仲武 is an extremely versatile artist n the classic European oil painting tradition.

His singular artistic expression is easily recognized in his sublimely elegant and serene paintings.

Since 1987 he has focused primarily on original figurative oil paintings on canvas.

In spite of his close relationship with formal Chinese traditions in art, Pan fell in love with the paintings of renaissance and French impressionist periods.

Johannes Vermeer | Baroque Era painter

The life and art of Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) are closely associated with the city of Delft.

He was born in Delft in 1632 and lived there until his death in 1675.

His father, Reynier Vermeer, was a silk weaver who produced caffa, a fine satin fabric, but in 1631 he also registered in the Saint Luke’s Guild in Delft as a master art dealer.

By 1641 he was sufficiently prosperous to purchase a large house, the “Mechelen”, which contained an inn on the market square in Delft and from which he probably also sold paintings.

Paul Gauguin | The figures

The vogue for Paul Gauguin's work started soon after his death.

Many of his later paintings were acquired by the Russian collector Sergei Shchukin.

A substantial part of his collection is displayed in the Pushkin Museum and the Hermitage.

Gauguin paintings are rarely offered for sale; their price may be as high as $39.2 million US Dollars.
