Cherie Monteferrante was born in West Palm Beach,
Florida and has also lived in Ohio and California, but
she currently makes her home in Colorado. She entered
into art at an early age when she was selected to be in
a state art competition at the age of 10. She continued
her art studies through High School and College where
she earned a BA in visual Art. Cherie's style is distinctive
with smooth shading strokes in juxtaposition to frenzied
strokes capturing movement in every day events and
buildings. Her medium of choice is acrylic since its' quick
drying properties add to the layering and texture. "I enjoy
acrylics because it makes me concentrate on the subject.
There's no time to second guess placement of color or
you start over." Cherie's Italian-American heritage has
been an important influence in her work.
Her current works include scenes from all over Italy.
"I always had a passion for the Renaissance and for the
artists that came out of Italy. I always dreamed I was
from their bloodline." Cherie treasured the time in Italy
gathering images you see in her portfolio today.

Annelise Jarvis Hansens art is deeply rooted in Nordic
metaphysical values. “Inner vision”, she informs us, is the
source of her subjectivity.
Her creativity is compatibly assisted by her scholarship in
historic and avant-garde art concepts of both “formalism”
and “beyond formalism”.
Annelise is expecially involved in the very interesting and
complex problems of attaining a condition of “coexistence”
of apparently antagonistic forces of harmony and discord
within the framework of a single canvas; her ingeniously
structured dualistic tension” becomes a new kind of
aesthetic experience. Her introspective world is represented
pluralistically: at times through objective reality, at times
through symbolic abstractions which evoke poetic, enigmatic
states of mind and existential equivalent.
Annelise´s art excellently represents the very interesting
contemporary tendency towards creating an ambiguous art
that is simultaneously ideational and sensate.
