Upon graduation from the Art Center College of Design ofPasadena, CA in 1990 with a BFA, Hye Coh has enjoyed meeting all of the artistic and technical challenges in the field of animation as well as the rich artistic environment provided. �e major studios she has worked for have been Walt Disney, DreamWorks, Warner Bros., Starz-Toronto, and Framestore-London, where she specialized in background painting, visual development, and texture painting for the traditional 2D and 3D CGI feature animations. She has over 7 film credits to her name such as '�e Tale of Despereaux', 'Shark Tale', and 'Tarzan'.

With current, rapidly changing computer technology getting more attention meetingtechnical challenges rather than artistic aspect in animation, she felt compelled to step out of filmstudios and become an artist. Now, As a matured artist, she feels something within herneeds to be expressed through her own art making.

IT IS A NEW BEGINNING!!

Wonderful Faces April 17, 2012 Dear Artist,

Last Friday I was pacing the studio, bumping into doors and walls, tripping on canvases, knocking over cups of pre-mixed acrylic. "What to do?" I was asking myself. In my panic I brie�y impaled myself on a brush I had forgotten to wash the day before. Like my head, it was hard and thick but still held a good point. Some days there ain't no �sh.

I had a look in my near-gridlocked inbox. I searched "what to do" and got 14 returns from recent incoming emails. They were asking the same question, and I, in my �imsy guruness, was stuck for answers. I decided to consult the Brotherhood and Sisterhood via the Resource of Art Quotations on our site. It's a place like no other--enriched by the great artists including our own subscribers. My eyes caught on the words of New Zealand painter Beverly Claridge: "Inspiration is a byproduct of discipline." I realized I had fallen prey to my own fatal error. The day before I'd �nished a painting--even signed it before I went to bed. Big mistake. There was nothing left to do on it. I knew it all along. It's always best to sign things early in the day. Then I dug up a faintly remembered quote from Ernest Hemingway: "I learned never to empty the well, but always to stop when there was still something in the deep part of the well, and let it re�ll at nightfrom the springs that fed it." The quotes were getting me as hot as a �recracker. "Inspiration," said Henri Matisse, "comes while one is working." "I write only when inspiration strikes--fortunately it strikes every morning at nine o'clock sharp,"said Somerset Maugham. "Inspiration exists," said Pablo Picasso, "but it has to �nd you working. That's when my line started bobbing up and down. Up until then I had been looking for �sh in the sky. My line hadn't even been in the water.

Best regards, Robert PS: "When inspiration doesn't come, I go to meet it." (Sigmund Freud) "You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it." (Jack London) Sign up for Robert’s letters on his site. Read this letter online and share your thoughts on talking about your work. Live comments are welcome. Direct, illustratable comments can be made at rgenn@saraphina.com The Workshop Calendar: Here is a selection of workshops and seminars laid out in chronological order that will stimulate, teach, mentor, take you to foreign lands or just down the street. Many of these workshops are recommended by Robert and friends. Incidentally, if you are planning a workshop and have photos of happypeople working, feel free to send them to us and we'll include a selection in the workshops feature at no extra charge.

An Early Start Predominantly a self taught artist, Jeanne Illenye demonstrated her aptitude early. Only a brief four years after her birth in 1957, Jeanne picked up a paintbrush and dabbled quite intuitively in her mother’s oil paints exhibiting an affinity for color mixing, and completed her first painting. Jeanne’s earlyfascination with the natural world was blossoming as well as a desire to interpret that beauty artistically. However, instructors always discouraged her attempts at realism by stating that it was strictly a camera’s function. Nevertheless, Jeanne’s enthusiasm to portray the nuances of our natural world in a respectfullyrealistic manner continued to grow along with an acknowledgement of nature’s delicate transience.

When did you realize you loved art and wanted to be ‘an artist’? I had a lot of encouragement from my therapist first of all, but what what really set me into gear was a visit to a neighbors house. Her home was full of beautiful art and she had created it all......and had never had a lesson. I went online and found the Creative Arts Center and found a fantastic teacher, Kathleen dello Stritto and met some wonderful people who I continue to paint with at our studio. It is now in it's 5th year and is called Studio Art & Soul and is located in The Cedars part of town.

Who has been the greatest influence from your past to mentor you to this career?My parents are mystaunchest allies. In addition, my teachers, friends, and fellow artists are always encouraging me.

Who is your mentor today, or another artist you admire and why?There are many: All of the people at Studio Art & Soul, namely Karen Rike, Grant Schirpik, Michael Terstriep, Linda Greer, Carol Morgan, and Suzy Moritz. Former members, Sharon Hodges, Kay Wyne and Gail Kirkham. My teachers: Kathleen dello Stritto, Carol Marine, and Elizabeth Locke. I admire the work of Laurie Pace, Kimberly Conrad and many many others.

What is your favorite surface to paint on? Describe it if you make it yourself.Just plain old canvas for me. I do like to paint BIG, however. My favorite size at the moment is 72x48. There is something liberating about having such a large surface to begin with.....and I find them much more forgiving.

What brand of paints do you use?Primarily, but not limited to Sennelier. Do you have a favorite color palette? Definitely. The colors of New Mexico most always show up in my paintings, whether landscapes or abstracts. I do force myself on occasion, to try other palettes..

Durinda Cheek When did you realize you loved art and wanted to be ‘an artist’? I thought every child loved to draw and paint as much as I did. I didn't seriously consider a career in art until college when I told my dad I wanted to major in art. He replied," As long as you get a teaching degree to go with it, just in case!" So I started with teaching and kept up my painting until 2003 when I declared myself an artist on my tax form!

Who has been the greatest influence from your past to mentor you to this career? I credit Wayne Wu AWS as my greatest influence. Wayne taught weekly classes in his home and I was fortunate enough to be asked. Studying with him for 2 years was the turning point for me. I became a signature member of Georgia, Tennessee, and Louisiana within 3 years, winning awards andbeing represented in 5 galleries throughout the southeast.

My next influence was L. Diane Johnson who introduced me to plein air (outdoor) painting during a workshop in Monet's Garden. I was hooked and started a new medium: oils.

Lastly, but not the least of my mentors is David Leffel. Again I happened to be at the right place at the right time to study with David twice. I learned so much about paint application, edges, & values.

Who is your mentor today, or another artist you admire and why? I am always discovering artists that I admire. Although I don't have a mentor that I see on a regular basis, I read and devour all I can off the internet on artists that I know have solid painting skills.

What is your favorite surface to paint on? Describe it if you make it yourself.Usually I paint on linen, sometimes canvas, and mainly on panels when painting plein air. I like Sourcetek and RayMar panels and sometimes use Ampersand Gessoboards.

What brand of paints do you use? I am a Gamblin girl. I discovered their paints a few years ago and love their texture and quality. I supplement with other brands in colors that I like: Sennelier, Old Holland, Vasari, Richeson, and Rembrandt.

Do you have a favorite color palette? I use a double primary palette for the most part: A warm and a cool from each primary plus white. Usually it is Cad Red Light, Alizarin Crimson, Cobalt or Thalo Blue, Ultramarine Blue, Cad Yellow Medium, Lemon Yellow, and Titanium White. I do add colors when I need a special mix. Currently I am experimenting with using transparent colors as underpaintings. I take Transparent Red Oxide with me when I paint outdoors.

Charcoal on Paper by Cheri Homaee30 x 24

The iconic 19th century French Impressionist, Edgar Degas, once stated “They don’t understandthat the dancer has been for me a pretext for painting fabric and for rendering movement. Was this his only intent? One can only imagine. Art historians to this day continue to question Degas’ peculiar obsession with the young Parisian ballerinas he hired to model in his secluded lofty garret. With contemporary Ohioan artist, Cheri Homaee, there exists no mystery; her love for dance was undoubtedly cultivated during her dance lessons as a teenager. Ms. Homaee states “Dance, as an expression of emotion, has always been in my thought since then. Now my subjects are dancers from my past who still inspire me now. By involving dancers in my painting, I feel the freedom they express and they give me the freedom to express myself through them. I think I have always used dancing as a way of being free…”

Her dance series explores classical ballet and ballroom dancing through the mediums of paint, charcoal and photography. Several of the photographs, such as Elegance – Photography on Canvas 3/5, portray the quintessential female ballerina exuding both elegance and radiant beauty. There is no stereotyping though; in Dance IV she captures in acrylics the rugged masculine nature of a female dancer through the visceral handling of the paint and interpretation of the musculature. In Dance I, Charcoal on paper, the solid calves of the dancer are the center of interest. Ms. Homaee, however, also introduces the clever subtle subplot of silhouetted �gurative re�ections and studio light �ares, which adds an inviting mystical dimension. There’s ambiguity, too. Are these amorphous re�ective forms other dancers or the audience perhaps? This work makes me wonder—that’s Art!

Ms. Homaee’s strongest work is when she allows her spontaneous mark, scrape or irregular gesture to remain on the surface. The formal elements found in the charcoal drawings are allowed toresonate, adding character, richness and depth. I look forward to seeing the subtle nature of the charcoal drawings emerge in future paintings.

Colorado Fine Artist

Artist's Statement: I was born in Wyoming and have lived in Colorado for 45 years. I love the mountains and the beauty of the west. The beautiful colors of the sunset, the mystery of clouds hanging over the mountains, or the colors reflecting in a mountain stream, all inspire me to paint. I try to share my feelings with others through my artwork. I am also fascinated by the play of light and shadow, and color changes that they create. I paint in a variety of styles from very impressionistic to traditional realism. My landscapes are usually more impressionistic with a bold use of color. My abstracts are created with a process of layering of colors, values, and textures. The finished product evolves with no preconceived notions. Creating an abstract is an emotional process for me. There are layers of response and feelings that I attempt to bring out through my use of color and design.
