Cool Links:
CELTIC ART OF MICHAEL CARROLL "In the exquisite eighth-century manuscripts of Kells and Lindisfarne I found a treasure trove which had largely been ignored by the art world. Was it not possible to revive the style, could anything new be done? The research of J. Romilly Allen, George Bain and others had revealed the methods of the ancients; armed with this knowledge I began work on my own designs, incorporating elements of the old Celtic manuscripts." -- Michael Carroll, artist's statement from his web site,www.mccelticdesign.com.
PAINTINGS BY DON HOLZSCHUH "When you're painting outdoors you're in what I like to call the world's largest studio. It's just you before this whole creation, at this one place and time. I think every artist when they're in the studio, is actually trying to re-create how beautiful nature is, with it's light, forms colors. But when painting outside it's all before, it's all around you at all times. You just have to look to see it there before you." -- Don Holzschuh, Selected Text From an article that appeared in the magazine The Window In The March Issue, 1992 www.donholzschuh.com
PHOTOGRAPHY BY SANDY MAY
"Sandy May has been creating memorable photographs for almost three decades. Her journalistic eye, both classic and contemporary, has brought award-winning photos to her clients worldwide. Sandy is most known for a natural style, capturing the decisive moment with an ultimate respect for her subjects. This unique sensitivity, combined with an ability to see the real person behind the lens, has sent her on assignments for clients such as Newsweek Magazine, Lands End, Target and Arista Records. Sandy continues enjoying her home base in Minnesota, and is currently working on a book of images from her recent four-year residence in the Caribbean." ---Sandy May, from her web site bio at www.sandymayphoto.com
