At the age of 9 he became fascinated with the paintbrush, and using watercolors and tempera he painted portraits of his friends and family. His mother, Edua Herreria, a beautiful Brazilian women, met his father, a handsome and charismatic ladies' man, Antonio Perez, in the late 1950's, in Campana, a small city outside Buenos Aires. They married and had four children of whom Fabian is the youngest.

Edua was the creative force in Fabian's life and Antonio was the inspiration for his work. Fabian witnessed his father's unorthodox and often difficult life, portraying him in his paintings as "the cool guy" outside nightclubs and bordellos. Antonio owned a number of brothels and illegal nightclubs in Campana, and was frequently chased and closed down by the police. Nevertheless the young Fabian was constantly exposed to beautiful women who could seduce a man "simply by lighting a cigarette". Today we see these "ladies of the night" exquisitely portrayed in many of Fabian's paintings - memories of his youth and the nightlife he observed.

Anne's work, like her experience of life, is about layers. She layers color over color and glass over glass, opacity over transparency. Just as joy layers over sorrow and today over yesterday, in her art, patches of brilliant colors peek through darker ones like sweet secrets heard on a summer day, remembered in winter. So all my experiences come together in each work. Brilliant background colors express the joyous freedom of my childhood Idaho summers; layered with years of work and study, loss and gain. The tactile top layer expresses the now, taking us right up to the present, which will never be here again.

Richard William Blanchard's new series of contemporary abstract landscapes and skyscapes are paintings in rich, finely tuned colors in oil and acrylic. Born and raised in New England, Richard's stylish paintings are geographic reflections of his two studios' locations - one in Winthrop, Maine and the other in Los Angeles, California. At a distance the paintings are in a very clean architectural style, at the same time the fresh detailing keeps the viewer interested in scanning the mixed textural surfaces up close. Tree Halos and Tree Ascensions are some of the subject matter and as Richard explains "Drawing the Heavens down to Earth". The paintings serve as windows into the unseen spiritual world of trees, land, and sky.
