The Media Arts Council is pleased to showcase these artists for September.
Danny Dennison
My pieces are titled Teamwork, Euphoria #2, Mousetrap, and Pressure.They are all created with found metal objects or recycled metal. I start each piece with no preconceived ideas. I just play with shapes and spaces till the metal tells me that I have it right. I do very little to alter the pieces that I use, preferring to let their past lives show via rust, peeling paint, and crumpled, beat up surfaces.
Clair Oaks
My piece is called Gaia (Mother Earth). Clair's paintings create a simultaneous impression of calm and vibrancy - likely influenced by her years of practicing/teaching yoga and meditation. Saturated color and layering evoke a sense of the unrevealed and mingle within a framework of structured spontaneity. More info at

Martha Perkins My piece is called "Lotus Pod Bouquet", Acrylic on canvas. Artist paints daily as seen on her blog,
mysketchexperiment.com. Her pieces are mainly inspired by nature with the use of bright colors and bold shapes in her compositions.
