Karen Wallis | Mist of Dreams

Karen Wallis, british painter, was born in Middlesbrough and studied at Teesside University and Durham University.

For many years she combined art and design and teaching but now devotes herself entirely to painting.

Karen paints in oils and acrylics using several glazes of thin paint overlaid with impasto to create hazy and evocative images.

The concept of combining fine art and abstract elements creates a unique image which is traditional in manner, but has a very contemporary edge.

Robert Heindel | The Royal Ballet dancers

Robert Heindel (1938-2005), American painter and illustrator was born in Toledo, Ohio, in 1938.

Heindel´s reputation for capturing the spirit of dance and dancers is legendary. ´Opera House´, the magazine of The Royal Ballet, proclaimed ´from the toil and sweat of the gruelling preparation to the theatrics and spectacle of costume and colour, it´s not difficult to spot a Heindel. The artist´s talent is a singular ability to pour movement and emotion onto the canvas or blank sheet before him´.

Joseph Lorusso, 1966 | Figurative painter

American painter Joseph Lorusso was born in Chicago, Illinois and received his formal training at the American Academy of Art.

He went on to receive his B.F.A. degree from the Kansas City Art Institute.

Born of Italian descent, Lorusso was exposed to art at an early age.

Through several early trips to Italy, his parents introduced him to the works of the Italian Masters.

Lorusso would look to these influences throughout his early artistic development and they are still evident in his work today.
