Al Keiser- Art Crossing Participating Artist

Al Keiser returns to this year's Winter Art Market!!

Here's a bit about Al and what he does...

Al Keiser was printing on canvas until he started to experiment with various fabrics. After several months, he stopped working with canvas in order to concentrate on printing fine art photographs on satin, a surface that gives a distinctive look to his work. In addition, he created a line of scarves and ceramic tiles, printed with his photographic images. “I enjoy the process of research and development, aligned with the creative aspects of photography,” states Keiser, “and am always expanding my repertoire of images to better serve private collectors, and respond to the needs of corporate clients and public art projects.”

"Black and white fine art photography is, and always has been, one of my favorite forms of artistic expression."

Marie has mastered the technique of capturing non traditional images while presenting them in a unique, creative, and strikingly handsome way.

"It's hard for me to write about my work as a photographer. I got into it less than 6 years ago, so I'm still figuring out who I am and where I want to take it. Right now I'm shooting scenic images of different places, portraits of people I think are interesting, and animals in different locations. I’m working mostly on film, scanning then printing digitally, but I try not to tie myself down with any certain method. I love the freedom of being in the beginning of my career, capable of changing my style without consequence. Tomorrow could bring anything."

WAM participating artist Nicole Payne

"My process is very much about imagination and creativity, as far as the convergence and juxtaposition of ideas. My mind is like one of those lottery ball tumblers; I have ideas bouncing around constantly, coming together at random. I appreciate art that reflects reality but I enjoy making art that expresses my imagination.

My medium varies and I like to combine mediums within pieces. I use charcoal, pencil, pen and ink, Sharpie, crayons, colored pencil, watercolor, acrylic, markers, tea, coffee and what ever else I can turn into a usable medium. I also incorporate many different kinds of papers and patterns. I use everything from pages of phone books to aluminum foil to cereal boxes.

My work definitely reflects the scattered, fantastical, curious innards of my brain. My work allows me to communicate with people in ways I couldn't do otherwise. To be able to have the gift of creating a visual of the things that exist in your mind is amazing and I love sharing that with others. I often daydream about a world where blindness was nonexistent and people are voiceless, so the only way to communicate is through drawing and taking pictures. That just gave me an idea for a piece...the process is at work presently!"
