In planning a new picture, we don't think of grown-ups, and we don't think of children, but just of that fine, clean, unspoiled spot down deep in every one of us… that maybe our pictures can help recall,” said Walt Disney in 1938.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs we step into the wonderland of Disney Fine Art, our most beloved fantasies come to life.

Walter Elias Disney, founder of the Walt Disney Company, was a pioneer in the development of animation as an industry. “If you can dream it, you can do it. Remember that this whole thing started with a dream and a mouse,” -Walt Disney. The Disney studio turned animation into an art form and standardized the medium. After a story was developed, the artists would draw concepts of what they thought the characters should look like and Disney would pick his favorite. To impress the boss, the artists’ concept paintings — made with ink, watercolors, pastel, chalk and other media — were often dazzling and detailed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDisney Fine Art Collections takes you back to the colorful worlds of imagination created by Walt Disney Studios. The characters have the unique ability to establish an emotional connection with multiple generations of art collectors. From children of the 1930’s who experienced The Mickey Mouse Club in their local movie theaters, to a generation of baby boomer “Mouseketeers” who have passed their love for Disney on to their children and grandchildren of today. It is without question that the world has never before seen such a deeply rooted appreciation and enduring love for “cartoon characters” than what our culture has experienced through Disney stories and imagery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt celebrates the memories Disney Animation created over the years by way of the artist’s paintbrush.

It will transport you back to when these classic characters first jumped off the silver screen, and right into your heart. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDisney Fine Art Gallery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Art Center Gallery is proud to be an authorized \u003c\/span\u003eDisney Fine Art Gallery\u003cspan\u003e.

The images created by this talented man continue to delight all that view them. James Coleman was born in Hollywood, California in 1949. As a youth, his creative abilities seemed to dominate his world. Though he lacked the athletic skills of his young friends, he more than made up for it with imagination and ingenuity. As a young man, his interest in filmmaking and fine art would mark the beginning of a long, successful career in animated films. Coleman began his career with Walt Disney Studios in the summer of 1969, when his mother, who had been working as a secretary with Disney since the Hyperion days, got him a job in the studio's mailroom. His big break came when he entered one of his paintings in the studio art show. Several of the Disney artists viewing his work, saw his potential and realized he had an untapped ability and encouraged him to go into animation background painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWalt Disney Productions welcomed his creative energies. His first film, \"Winnie, the Pooh and Tigger, too\", sparked his interest not only in painting backgrounds but also in background design and color styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter completing, \"The Rescuers,\" his first feature film, he was promoted to Background Department Supervisor, a position he held for nearly seventeen years. During that time, he personally hired and trained a select group of artists, whom he would work with for most of his career at Disney. While at Disney, James styled and worked on twelve films and over thirty short subjects which included \"Mickey's Christmas Carol,\" \"The Fox and the Hound,\" \"The Great Mouse Detective,\" \"The Black Cauldron,\" \"The Little Mermaid,\" and Academy Award-winning, \"Beauty and the Beast.\" All of which came to life with James Coleman's background images gracing the silver screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1991, after twenty-two years with Disney, James left to pursue a new career. He was ready to devote all of his time and talent to the love of his life, fine art. Today he continues to illuminate the art world with vibrant colors, gentle moods, powerful design and exquisite detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColeman works in oil, watercolor, gouache and pastel. His work is impressionistic and luminous. His pieces intrigue the eye and touch the heart. His paintings are warm, inviting and unique. A master of color, light and design, Coleman has become one of the most collected and sought after artists around the world. James Coleman pieces can be found in many fine, personal and corporate collections including that of the Disney family. Coleman is a naturalist and environmentalist who involve himself with the National Parks and other environmental organizations. He has been a finalist for five years in the Arts for the Parks competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contribution made by Coleman to the world of art over some thirty years, both in film and fine art, makes him one of the most collected artists in contemporary art.

At a young age, Michelle was inspired by Italian Renaissance painters Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. She began painting at the age of 6 and asked for a new paint set on every birthday. In the first grade she entered a poster contest creating a painting of all the Disney characters marching in a parade. The judges disqualified her because they could not believe she had done the painting by herself without tracing. Her disappointment fueled her determination to become an artist. Filling many sketchbooks by the age of ten, Michelle began working with pastels drawing portraits of singers and movie stars. She won first place in a local art show and her piece was displayed in the town’s City Hall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichelle made it her goal to become a Disney Artist when her family moved to Florida at the age of 16.

His fine art paintings and personalized portraitures have been commissioned by a clientele list that includes world-famous celebrities and prominent business leaders, and his collaborations with marine life artist, Wyland, are widely acclaimed. His paintings have been seen around the world on billboards, large outdoor murals, set props for TV shows, and Fine Art Galleries coast to coast now carry his works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJim has also illustrated over 200 book covers for major New York publishers, including titles from authors such as Arthur C.

However it would be several years before a pivotal event helped shape the developing, self-taught artist's career: the day he picked up an issue of \"Life Magazine\" and discovered Salvador Dali.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking at Dali's paintings in Life, Jim realized his own art could be anything he wanted it to be, and, while influenced by Dali, Norman Rockwell, Andy Warhol, Rembrandt, Magritte, Monet, Peter Max and others, he set out to further develop his own unique style of painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1986, Jim was commissioned to create a painting for another gifted individual, world-renowned recording artist, Prince. Jim was given very limited information on which to base the painting other than a one-page sheet containing 13 instructions such as, \"a fat man hugging a tiger,\" \"two men with hair shorter on one side, playing the tambourine.\" Jim was instructed, \"use your imagination,\" which, of course, he did. Upon completion of the painting he was told that Prince loved it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrently, Jim focuses primarily on his fine art paintings. Yet in spite of the strong, ongoing demand for these works, he has managed to find time to create two books: \"The Art of Jim Warren,\" and \"Jim Warren, Painted Worlds.\" Both contain clear and colorful representations of his works, many of which combine, as Jim has stated, \"the effect of the real mixed with a touch of the unreal, to make you feel as though you're actually seeing something that in reality couldn't possibly be. Although Mother Nature is my favorite art director, I do take artistic license to create environments of my own.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen questioned by an acquaintance recently concerning what aspect of his work gave him the most pleasure, Jim replied, \"the letters and emails I get from people around the world who say they have been touched in some way by my paintings.

But if you view my painting and find yourself there leaned against a palm on the shore while your mind authors a light rain or a curious butterfly taking flight, then I suppose a painting is never quite complete.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing graduation from University of Central Florida, Rob began working for a number of small animation studios. At that time, Disney had recently relocated their Florida-based animation studios to California which left behind many animators in Central Florida who chose not to uproot. As a result, Rob found himself working \"alongside quite possibly the most talented artists I've ever known, right there in those small studios. Their influence was invaluable.\" While working alongside other world class artists, Rob had the opportunity to work in many areas of film. In particular, the time spent in character creation and environments heavily influenced his painting style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor some time, Rob worked as a character artist for Electronic Arts (EA Tiburon) creating human likenesses in games such as Madden and NCAA football.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Rob paints, he imagines \"places he'd rather be\" and he imagines \"friends along the way\", both of which are themes that reoccur naturally throughout Rob Kaz’s body of work.

He's been a prolific artist for movie studios and theaters, with a client list that includes Disney, Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, Paramount Pictures and Radio City Music Hall. He was the master illustrator and conceptual artist behind many of the memorable images and finished paintings associated with the \"Harry Potter\" films.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe describes his style as \"painterly realism\", and his favorite subjects are people. Ask him about a painting, and he will tell you the subject's personal story. Salvati sees his paintings as his portal into various cultures and different areas of society. \"I like the connection between people and their culture,\" he says. \"The different emotions, gestures, moods, environments, and style of people in my life and those that I cross paths with, all become part of my storytelling\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Even with my Disney art, I think it's important to show who a person or character is and what is the most interesting part of their life the part that is bold and has guts.\" Character and boldness can be observed in the scenes that Salvati chooses to depict. They are often not only a defining moment of a film, but usually the most emotionally charged and sometimes heartbreaking. Bambi alone in the woods, the Huntsman with Snow White, and Scar leaving Simba in the canyon, are all turning points in the story, and when the main character had to show their \"guts\" or courage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking in oil paint, Salvati uses panel and sometimes mounted paper preferring the option of layering paint to create a lot of texture, as he feels that an uneven surface adds to the emotion of the story. \"My paintings are extremely thick and layered and oil allows me the time I need to play with the color,\" he says.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the past 22 years, he's been teaching at Art Center himself, a gig he's found just as rewarding and inspiring as painting. \"I love teaching, and students respond to my style because I'm so down to earth,\" he says. A byproduct of his years as an instructor is his strong connection to artistic diversity as well as a careful observation of the changing world of art and how art interrelates with technology.

The images created by this talented man continue to delight all that view them.\n\u003cp\u003eJames Coleman was born in Hollywood, California in 1949. As a youth, his creative abilities seemed to dominate his world. Though he lacked the athletic skills of his young friends, he more than made up for it with imagination and ingenuity. As a young man, his interest in filmmaking and fine art would mark the beginning of a long, successful career in animated films. Coleman began his career with Walt Disney Studios in the summer of 1969, when his mother, who had been working as a secretary with Disney since the Hyperion days, got him a job in the studio's mailroom. His big break came when he entered one of his paintings in the studio art show. Several of the Disney artists viewing his work, saw his potential and realized he had an untapped ability and encouraged him to go into animation background painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWalt Disney Productions welcomed his creative energies. His first film, \"Winnie, the Pooh and Tigger, too\", sparked his interest not only in painting backgrounds but also in background design and color styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter completing, \"The Rescuers,\" his first feature film, he was promoted to Background Department Supervisor, a position he held for nearly seventeen years. During that time, he personally hired and trained a select group of artists, whom he would work with for most of his career at Disney. While at Disney, James styled and worked on twelve films and over thirty short subjects which included \"Mickey's Christmas Carol,\" \"The Fox and the Hound,\" \"The Great Mouse Detective,\" \"The Black Cauldron,\" \"The Little Mermaid,\" and Academy Award-winning, \"Beauty and the Beast.\" All of which came to life with James Coleman's background images gracing the silver screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1991, after twenty-two years with Disney, James left to pursue a new career. He was ready to devote all of his time and talent to the love of his life, fine art. Today he continues to illuminate the art world with vibrant colors, gentle moods, powerful design and exquisite detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColeman works in oil, watercolor, gouache and pastel. His work is impressionistic and luminous. His pieces intrigue the eye and touch the heart. His paintings are warm, inviting and unique. A master of color, light and design, Coleman has become one of the most collected and sought after artists around the world. James Coleman pieces can be found in many fine, personal and corporate collections including that of the Disney family. Coleman is a naturalist and environmentalist who involve himself with the National Parks and other environmental organizations. He has been a finalist for five years in the Arts for the Parks competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contribution made by Coleman to the world of art over some thirty years, both in film and fine art, makes him one of the most collected artists in contemporary art.

At a young age, Michelle was inspired by Italian Renaissance painters Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. She began painting at the age of 6 and asked for a new paint set on every birthday. In the first grade she entered a poster contest creating a painting of all the Disney characters marching in a parade. The judges disqualified her because they could not believe she had done the painting by herself without tracing. Her disappointment fueled her determination to become an artist. Filling many sketchbooks by the age of ten, Michelle began working with pastels drawing portraits of singers and movie stars.

The images created by this talented man continue to delight all that view them. James Coleman was born in Hollywood, California in 1949. As a youth, his creative abilities seemed to dominate his world. Though he lacked the athletic skills of his young friends, he more than made up for it with imagination and ingenuity. As a young man, his interest in filmmaking and fine art would mark the beginning of a long, successful career in animated films. Coleman began his career with Walt Disney Studios in the summer of 1969, when his mother, who had been working as a secretary with Disney since the Hyperion days, got him a job in the studio's mailroom. His big break came when he entered one of his paintings in the studio art show. Several of the Disney artists viewing his work, saw his potential and realized he had an untapped ability and encouraged him to go into animation background painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWalt Disney Productions welcomed his creative energies. His first film, \"Winnie, the Pooh and Tigger, too\", sparked his interest not only in painting backgrounds but also in background design and color styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter completing, \"The Rescuers,\" his first feature film, he was promoted to Background Department Supervisor, a position he held for nearly seventeen years. During that time, he personally hired and trained a select group of artists, whom he would work with for most of his career at Disney. While at Disney, James styled and worked on twelve films and over thirty short subjects which included \"Mickey's Christmas Carol,\" \"The Fox and the Hound,\" \"The Great Mouse Detective,\" \"The Black Cauldron,\" \"The Little Mermaid,\" and Academy Award-winning, \"Beauty and the Beast.\" All of which came to life with James Coleman's background images gracing the silver screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1991, after twenty-two years with Disney, James left to pursue a new career. He was ready to devote all of his time and talent to the love of his life, fine art. Today he continues to illuminate the art world with vibrant colors, gentle moods, powerful design and exquisite detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColeman works in oil, watercolor, gouache and pastel. His work is impressionistic and luminous. His pieces intrigue the eye and touch the heart. His paintings are warm, inviting and unique. A master of color, light and design, Coleman has become one of the most collected and sought after artists around the world. James Coleman pieces can be found in many fine, personal and corporate collections including that of the Disney family. Coleman is a naturalist and environmentalist who involve himself with the National Parks and other environmental organizations. He has been a finalist for five years in the Arts for the Parks competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contribution made by Coleman to the world of art over some thirty years, both in film and fine art, makes him one of the most collected artists in contemporary art.

At that time, Disney had recently relocated their Florida-based animation studios to California which left behind many animators in Central Florida who chose not to uproot. As a result, Rob found himself working \"alongside quite possibly the most talented artists I've ever known, right there in those small studios. Their influence was invaluable.\" While working alongside other world class artists, Rob had the opportunity to work in many areas of film.

His father, who at the time, was employed by Walt Disney World as Show Director in charge of managing and maintaining all of the performances in the park, made every day a magical adventure for the future artist, even though they no longer had the safety umbrella of Disney.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMr. Rogerson grew up living the everyday life of a kid, playing outside and \"hanging out\" with friends, however, the artistic urge to create was always present, compelling him to apply the pictures and images in his head to paper and canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery child has a dream. For Mr. Rogerson, it was to be an artist as well as satisfying his desire to return to his home-state; back to the magical kingdom from which he came. Of course being surrounded by the whimsical images of Disney characters, even after his family moved to North Carolina; his father was an avid Disney collector and supporter, didn't help curb his appetite for the Sunshine State. However, it was these images that helped form some of Mr. Rogerson's style, which has begun to earn him critical acclaim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFulfilling his dream of returning to Florida, Mr. Rogerson was accepted as a student at the prestigious Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, majoring in Illustration. \"I was a very traditional art student and explored all works; from the old masters to modern art,\" says the artist. \"My influences include Degas and John Singer Sargent; with his perfect, confident brushstrokes...their work has allowed me to push the envelope with my own abstraction of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the medium of oil paints, Mr. Rogerson focuses on capturing people in social settings, My work will always evolve, becoming more complex and detailed, says Mr. Rogerson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile studying at the Ringling School, Mr. Rogerson gained the reputation as an upcoming artist and influence in his own right. His unique style was recognized when he was awarded the 2003 Best Painter Award from Ringling, followed by 2003 and 2004 Best of Ringling Award. One of his recognized works was an emotionally powerful portrait of Mr. Lincoln.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince graduating from Ringling in 2004, Mr. Rogerson has contributed his artistic abilities to Disney and SS Designs in Florida.

At a young age, Michelle was inspired by Italian Renaissance painters Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. She began painting at the age of 6 and asked for a new paint set on every birthday. In the first grade she entered a poster contest creating a painting of all the Disney characters marching in a parade. The judges disqualified her because they could not believe she had done the painting by herself without tracing. Her disappointment fueled her determination to become an artist. Filling many sketchbooks by the age of ten, Michelle began working with pastels drawing portraits of singers and movie stars. She won first place in a local art show and her piece was displayed in the town’s City Hall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichelle made it her goal to become a Disney Artist when her family moved to Florida at the age of 16.

Continuing to fill her sketch books and grow as an artist, Michelle began working as a scenic artist for theme parks and production companies, painting murals, show sets and props.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter gathering years of experience, Michelle was hired by Disney Design Group where she has spent the last ten years creating artwork for Disney’s Theme Park Merchandise and special events. She trained, worked and was inspired by Disney legend Ralph Kent for the first 6 years. Michelle began painting for the Disney Galleries in 1998, and became a true Disney artist. Her talent evolved with each piece. “Through my paintings I aspire to recreate the classic Disney magic, which allows each of us to be a kid again. Michelle’s work has been featured at Disney’s Festival of the Masters, Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival, Magic Kingdom’s 999 Happy Haunts Event, Disneyana Conventions and Disney Cruise Line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichelle now lives in Florida with her husband and daughter, where she spends time painting on their front porch.

His fine art paintings and personalized portraitures have been commissioned by a clientele list that includes world-famous celebrities and prominent business leaders, and his collaborations with marine life artist, Wyland, are widely acclaimed. His paintings have been seen around the world on billboards, large outdoor murals, set props for TV shows, and Fine Art Galleries coast to coast now carry his works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJim has also illustrated over 200 book covers for major New York publishers, including titles from authors such as Arthur C. Clarke, Clive Barker and Robin Cook. He has created collectible movie posters and magazine covers, numerous album and CD covers including the Grammy award-winning cover for Bob Seger's album, \"Against The Wind.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn and raised in Long Beach, California, at age seven Jim knew he wanted to be a painter. However it would be several years before a pivotal event helped shape the developing, self-taught artist's career: the day he picked up an issue of \"Life Magazine\" and discovered Salvador Dali.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking at Dali's paintings in Life, Jim realized his own art could be anything he wanted it to be, and, while influenced by Dali, Norman Rockwell, Andy Warhol, Rembrandt, Magritte, Monet, Peter Max and others, he set out to further develop his own unique style of painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1986, Jim was commissioned to create a painting for another gifted individual, world-renowned recording artist, Prince. Jim was given very limited information on which to base the painting other than a one-page sheet containing 13 instructions such as, \"a fat man hugging a tiger,\" \"two men with hair shorter on one side, playing the tambourine.\" Jim was instructed, \"use your imagination,\" which, of course, he did. Upon completion of the painting he was told that Prince loved it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrently, Jim focuses primarily on his fine art paintings. Yet in spite of the strong, ongoing demand for these works, he has managed to find time to create two books: \"The Art of Jim Warren,\" and \"Jim Warren, Painted Worlds.\" Both contain clear and colorful representations of his works, many of which combine, as Jim has stated, \"the effect of the real mixed with a touch of the unreal, to make you feel as though you're actually seeing something that in reality couldn't possibly be. Although Mother Nature is my favorite art director, I do take artistic license to create environments of my own.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen questioned by an acquaintance recently concerning what aspect of his work gave him the most pleasure, Jim replied, \"the letters and emails I get from people around the world who say they have been touched in some way by my paintings. The fact that my art can create an effect like that for some people, and act as a positive influence in their lives, means a great deal to me.\" Such is the Art of Jim Warren.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jim Warren","offers":[{"title":"8” x 24” Edition of 1500","offer_id":18175006532,"sku":"0IHOPJPU","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1047\/6902\/products\/jim-warren-mickeys-crazy-wave.jpg?v=1551714752"},{"product_id":"disney-sunset-for-minnie-and-me-size-12-x-16-giclee-on-canvas-edition-of-1500","title":"Disney Sunset for Minnie and Me","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited Edition of 1500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 12\" x 16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGallery Wrapped Canvas is Ready to Hang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Certificate of Authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDefined by and recognized for his elaborate use of texture in his signature impressionistic style, Trevor Mezak is an artist who is driven to create every day. \"I feel the day is missing something if I don't,\" says the artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFascinated with the world around him; he has a passion for painting figurative subjects but has also held a long time fascination with the design elements of playing cards, especially face cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Southern California, Mezak has been painting since his teens.

I believe a painting is a mirror of the painter's understanding of an insight he has. The Disney paintings each involved such a strong concept that every brushstroke was a joyful anticipation of the finished product.

Garcia, was born in the Philippines in 1966. As a second-generation artist, his story begins with his father\/mentor. Facing difficult times and lack of opportunity, Edgardo left his homeland to pursue a better life for himself and his family. Three years later he was reunited with his five kids in a small town outside of Los Angeles called Victorville. They moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1973 seeking the “American Dream”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatching his father teach art and paint made Walfrido eager to follow in his footsteps. He drew everything from airplanes to comic strip characters to develop his hand eye coordination. By the age of 14 his father took him under his wing and taught him all of the Old Masters secrets. Walfrido’s love for painting came hand in hand with his love for surfing. By the time he was 17, he was teaching his own art classes, hanging his art in Carmel galleries and taking art classes full time at Ohlone Jr. college in Fremont, Ca.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1987, while on vacation in Hawaii, he found representation by the Livingston art gallery on Oahu. From there his work attracted the attention of local as well as international art buyers. Walfrido continued to paint, teach and study art at San Jose State University. His paintings eventually caught the eye of Bill Wyland, founder of Wyland Galleries Hawaii. At the age of 23, he was the youngest artist to display his art in the major gallery chain. Since then Walfrido’s art has graced the walls of art galleries and collectors home across the United States and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis style can be described as “Romantic Luminism” in which the subject he portrays go beyond just imitating a photograph but instead add a sense of timeless perfection to nature. Each painting starts out as a loose impressionistic idea. As the layers of paint are added the details come out. By the time the highlights are done the painting glows with light reminiscent of the Old Masters. From up close you can see the rhythm of his brush strokes but when you take a step back the eye blends them all into a harmonious tapestry of light, color and texture.

But the story of an artist usually begins somewhere less noticeable, perhaps even unrecognizable to most. It is just such a beginning that gave life to the art of creator, Heather Edwards. Paintings were born from 5:45 a.m. mornings during summer breaks from school in Paradise, Utah, waking up to breathe in the crisp air and watch the sun rise and glow through the blades of grass in the lawn. Ideas sprung from thunderstorms, the struggles of working on a small farm and from the loyal companionship of pets. Personal experiences combined to shape the narrative behind each forthcoming creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom that vantage point, life itself became the paint on the brush and the guiding force behind everything Heather made and from as early as her pre school years she knew that making art was what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. However, receiving extra training or attending an acknowledged art school were not to be part of her story. Yet, it was from her own father that she learned one of her most valuable lessons: observe. It was a simple enough concept, but it stuck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeather's paintings are the product of decades of observation of people, of environments, of animals and of textiles, as well as the convergence of every scrap of knowledge that came attached to them. The wonder and magic of Disney movies, both the imagery and the music, also helped cultivate the ideas that began to take form in painting, and now, boldly recreating Disney characters in a way that brings them into the realism of our world has become an exciting new passion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShared and collected around the world, Heather Edwards's paintings are constructed in the midst of a bustling family with five children in Portland, Oregon. And although that poses a multitude of challenges of its own, her art has gone on to get the attention of USA Today, the LA Times and received recognition and awards from respected organizations such as Art Renewal Center, Artist's Magazine and Spectrum, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo Heather, every painting is personal, but not necessarily in the way most might think. \"I don't necessarily want the viewer to have the same response to my painting as I have. Instead, my hope is that the expression I paint on the board through hours of observation and execution of detail will speak to them in a way that ignites thoughts and feelings unique to them.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heather Edwards","offers":[{"title":"18\" x 24\" Signed Rolled Canvas Edition of 295","offer_id":22154851745840,"sku":"LK1DTFPD","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12\" x 16\" Gallery-Wrapped Canvas Edition of 1500","offer_id":22154853679152,"sku":"1DOWO1I6","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"27\" x 36\" Premiere Edition of 30","offer_id":45669093081301,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1047\/6902\/products\/Bella_Notte_LE_18x24.jpg?v=1565377537"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1047\/6902\/collections\/a2_8e4a3642-2dda-404b-8be3-cf13b11e13e6.jpg?v=1659646339","url":"https:\/\/www.shopartcenter.com\/collections\/disney-treasures-collection.oembed?page=24","provider":"Art Center Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
