Bob Byerley

Bob Byerley (1941- ) spent his entire childhood in Kansas City, Missouri. He was an only child. His mother was a piano teacher and began teaching Bob to play at the age of five: When he was six years old he

performed his first one man concert. Throughout his childhood, he continued his musical education. He also showed a strong interest in drawing. His musical endeavors were enthusiastically encouraged, his

drawing interests, not.After high school, Bob decided to enter college, not as a music major, but as a pre-med student. He

attended the University of Missouri at Columbia and in his junior year he was required to take three credit hours of fine arts for his pre med degree. He signed up for a three hour “Introduction to Art”

class and when he walked into the art building, saw the paintings, and smelled the turpentine, he knew he was home. He loved the art and after one semester, made the hardest phone call to his parents that

he had ever had to make; “Mom, Dad, I’ve decided not to be a doctor, I’m going to be an artist! Silence----------”.

    Bob went on to receive his Bachelors and his Masters Degree in Art from University of Missouri at Columbia. After graduating he taught painting and drawing at the University and also at Missouri

Western College in St. Joseph, Missouri.

    At the age of thirty, Bob quit teaching and began painting full time. His primary focus, for many years was still-life; still-lives rendered in a very detailed, fool-the-eye realistic style. In the late 1980's he began to paint children as the center of interest in his work and in that particular genre, he found success. Bob is now internationally known for his realistic portrayals of children in nostalgic settings;

settings that reflect his own “kinder and gentler” childhood.

    He and his wife Alice, have four grown children and seven grandchildren. Alice is their business manager and a very fine painter in her own right. They now live in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Bob’s work is represented in many fine collections and his work can be seen in thousands of galleries throughout

the world.

From the drawings and imagination of a 13 year old girl...

Meet Emma, a 13 year old South African artist whose art will quickly capture the attention of young girls

and 'tweens everywhere.

Natasha is a very successful and extremely prolific watercolor artist originally from Russia, now based in California.

Painting on silk, her paintings have a hypnotic effect of liquid dyes moving on shimmering fibers. From the black and white world of the senses-dulling Moscow winters, to the glowing stained glass windows of Prague’s cathedrals,

Natasha has found beauty and mystery wherever she opens her eyes. Her paintings may carry you back to the street

scenes and special corners of cities where you’ve traveled, or transport the armchair traveler to an uncharted place. People from all walks of life admire her work. Natasha’s

control of the medium in creating reflections in water and glass and fine architectural detail is unmatched.

Lynn FogelPainting is my most relevant way to create beauty and express myself to the

world. An endless source of creative inspiration comes from my love of nature, and my travels and imagination. An earliest memory of creating art was when I was just a baby – drawing on the walls, tables, or anywhere else

that I could find a drawing surface!

My formal education in the arts took place at The New England School of Art and Design in Boston and Montserrat College of Art, in Beverly, Massachusetts

in the 1980’s. Returning to my native land, Santa Barbara, I became a member of the Santa Barbara Art Association and my works have been

displayed in Gallery 113 in Santa Barbara, The Window Gallery in Beverly Hills, and other galleries over the years.

In my very first art competition, I won a first place award and an honorable mention for two of my paintings and a series of my works have been

reproduced into lithographs in limited editions, and are currently being sold on the Princess Cruise ships worldwide. Hundreds of her original paintings and gyclee prints are gracing the walls in private and public collections throughout

the world.

I continue to create and be inspired by my surroundings in a tranquil setting in the Winchester Canyon area, up north from Santa Barbara where I reside.
