Artist Comments
An ornate flower crown rests on a young girl's head in artist Darlene McElroy's expressionist portrait. "It is a Hispanic tradition to be offered to the church by their families when they become nuns," elaborates Darlene. A metallic golden halo gleams behind the subject with an intense radiance. Darlene plays with circular motifs in different structures of the composition.

Artist Libby Ramage is on a perpetual hunt for interesting wine labels to use for her art. "These two deeply colored Cabernet labels with the white secondary labels suggested to me passion in the quest for peace," shares Libby. "Is the dove out of their reach or just released? The eternal search for a peaceful existence is very much present in my own life as well as globally. Personally, I am working to keep myself healthy and the anxiety of our times at bay. Wine and art definitely help."
About the Artist
Libby Ramage infuses a playful and whimsical mood into her works. In fact, she credits the children she works with for greatly influencing her aesthetic. She often uses children’s abandoned work in her collages. Libby currently lives in New Jersey and finds inspiration in the work of Rauschenberg. She believes collectors should buy from the heart.
