V S SCOTT SCO TEELE TT STEELE
WWW.SCOTTSTEELEGALLERY.COM "I paint in two distinctive styles,"
says self-taught artist Scott Steele. "T e fi rst style is photorealism, inspired by architectural street scenes and details that interest me. T is was the fi rst type of painting I became involved with, and was inspired by the time I spent traveling. I love urban architecture and life, and wanted to capture the beauty I saw." T is love of travel—and the land- scape that surrounds him in Northern Ontario—led Steele to his second style, abstract landscapes. "I try to capture the light, mood and feeling of diff erent times of days and the diff erent seasons in On- tario," he says. "I feel fortunate to have made my living as an artist over the past 15 years, and my goals would be to keep exploring the landscapes around me and express them in paintings."

As the popularity of color and texture
continue to endure as two in-demand trends in art, demand for the paintings of Jennifer Vranes continues to rise. From soothing Aspen forests to magical European landscapes, Vranes' paint- ings contain that perfect combination of these two elements, and have led to her working being including in many public and corporate collections, such as the U.S. Embassies, Oregon State Capitol and medical centers in Irvine and Simi Valley, CA. T ey've also been collected by Red Sox player Fred Lynn, PGA star Justin Leonard and pitchman Anthony Sullivan. (Not to mention the fact that her work hangs in more than 30 top galleries around the world.) Vranes' trademarked technique of using a palette knife to "sculpt" in thick texture creates a three-dimensional illusion that allows viewers to step into her landscapes.

ILEY T ere's one thing that Marta Wiley
wants you to know: "I am a Mexican- American and I am proud of it. Proud of being an American because it is the
country... that gave me the opportunities to be who I am today and a country that believes in freedom of speech and artistic expres- sion." Born in Coyocan, Mexico, Wiley had the unique opportunity to grow up and develop as an artist from a very young
age within a diverse, cultural mecca—in the very same place where Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo lived and painted. Wiley was guided and supported in her artistic explorations by my her Grandmother—herself an accomplished artist, recognized by the Mexican gov- ernment as a National Treasure. Wiley's early formative years were spent within Mexico, followed by Miami, Florida. Wiley has shown and sold work in gal- leries (nearly 300), museums and trade shows throughout the world, and her works have been published and licensed through a variety of major publishing companies. Wiley's publishing company, Marta G. Wiley Studios, gives her an outlet and vehicle for her substantial catalog of original art works (more than 9,000 and growing daily), music (100 original albums), books, installa- tion works (such as sculpture, mosaics, murals and other mixed-media instal- lations), apparel and other products and media.
