(No Tax on All Purchases Outside of Colorado! Ask About Free Shipping & Free Financing.) Imaginary Realist Robert Bissell creates a completely different atmosphere from our daily existence, inviting us to learn more about ourselves. In his paintings, the world of animals is a mirror for human existence, self-definition, and reflection. These are not mere children's tales--quite the contrary. Robert Bissell's work causes us to reflect on the environment, life, death, renewal, and the stages of transition--departing from the safety of family, and making our way in the world. Early tribal cultures believed the natural world to be the bridge connecting earth and spirit. Animals were regarded as powerful spiritual beings that could connect humans to unseen realms, the natural world, and each other. "Bissell's work disarms by narrating vitally grown-up and urgent allegories in the guise of child-like humor," warns William Zimmer, art critic for The New York Times. R ... (more)

Tim Cotterill's bronze frog sculptures capture the whimsical character, the jewel-like quality, and the pure JOY of these beautiful little creatures. "Through the centuries and throughout the world, frogs have symbolized many things--good luck, royalty, fertility, magic potions, energy, charm. In today's fast world, life sometimes becomes complicated and stressful. As you can see, my art is not," states the artist, also known as Frogman.

() Terry Gilecki has always had an ardent interest in the beauty of Koi and the diversity of their color. He has devoted his artistic career to capturing their essence in his paintings.

() Nancy Glazier knew she wanted to be an artist from early childhood. In her teens, she lived in Wyoming, where she immersed herself in the rugged, western terrain. There, she was mentored and taught by artist Adolph Spohr, who gave her private instruction and taught her how a professional uses paint and brushes, how to observe and self-correct. Surrounded by mountain beauty and the animals she loves to paint, the artist says, "I feel a kinship with the animal that grows as the painting progresses. There is a powerful chemistry at work. People always ask me what my favorite animal is to paint. I tell them it is always the very animal I am painting at the time." For Nancy Glazier, it is "a warm, living, breathing process that brings me back again and again to the easel. It is my ultimate reward."
