Léon Perrault | Genre / Academic painter

Painter of genre, history, religion and portrait stands in peril of not being remembered as distinctively as his successes might merit.

For our part, we may narrow this great artist’s claims at once by rejecting his religious painting, and we may be inclined to go on and deny him the title of historical painter, so that, although we shall have paintings of religious subjects and of historical subjects to consider, we shall in truth be considering them as work of a painter of genre and portrait.

Mary Alayne Thomas | Surrealist 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.

Having painted all of her life, she was initially taken with a love for the luminosity and versatility of watercolor and has since progressed to work with encaustic. She best describes her work as "a delicacy and softness that emanates from the layering of art forms within the transparent surface".
