American artist Chris Hayman has been painting for several decades. She plays with colors and space in her densely textured, energetic abstract paintings, which are inspired largely by the natural world.
Hayman was born in New York City. She earned her BA in art history at the University of Maryland and went on to earn a second degree in art at the University of Nevada, Reno. It was during her time in Nevada that she ventured into painting.
Hayman focuses on the dimensions of space within a given piece and has cited her interest “how forms are energized by the space around them.” While the artist has found inspiration in the work of painters such as Roland Petersen and Gustavo Rivera, she lives on a farm in Northern California and is surrounded by her livestock and the beauty of the great outdoors. The majesty of nature has long played a significant role in her work.
Hayman was also trained as a classical pianist and has always had a strong creative spirit. She is deeply involved in theater and the performing arts, and her affinity for music strongly informs her art, as is evidenced by the melodic fluidity of her paintings.
Hayman’s work is held in many corporate and private collections. She has exhibited widely, showing her work group and solo shows in galleries all over the United States.

"House on Whidbey Island, Washington" Contemporary Oil painting 30" x 40"
By George Gallo
Located in Fredericksburg, VA
House on Whidbey Island, Washington captures the quiet beauty of one of the Pacific Northwest's most iconic landscapes. Signed lower right, George Gallo presents a secluded farmhouse nestled among towering evergreens, its warm architecture emerging from a field illuminated by soft afternoon light. The expansive meadow, painted with lively strokes of green and gold, creates a striking contrast against the cool shadows of the surrounding forest, while Gallo's expressive brushwork gives the entire scene a sense of movement and life. The composition evokes the peaceful rhythm of rural Washington, where open fields, dense woodlands, and changing light create an atmosphere of timeless tranquility. Internationally recognized for his acclaimed career as an Academy Award-nominated screenwriter and director, George Gallo has also become one of today's most accomplished plein air painters. His work reflects a deep understanding of light, atmosphere, and composition, blending the traditions of American Impressionism with a bold contemporary style that is uniquely his own.

Tropical Beach Sailboats Painting Original Ocean Seascape Art Coastal Landscape
By Marina Fisher
Located in Zofingen, AG
## Blue Butterfly Painting Original Nature Wall Art Large Butterfly Canvas Contemporary Blue Abstract Wildlife Decor This original oil impasto painting celebrates the graceful beauty of a blue butterfly through bold contemporary expression. Sweeping palette knife strokes and richly layered textures transform delicate wings into a vibrant composition filled with movement, light, and energy. Shades of sapphire, turquoise, icy blue, lavender, and soft pink create an elegant harmony that makes the butterfly appear ready to take flight. This one-of-a-kind artwork explores the butterfly as a symbol of transformation, freedom, hope, and renewal. Rather than focusing on scientific detail, the painting captures the emotion and beauty of nature through expressive color and dynamic texture, making it equally suited to modern, contemporary, and nature-inspired interiors. The heavily textured impasto surface reflects light beautifully from different angles, allowing the painting to change throughout the day. Its fresh blue palette creates a calming atmosphere while serving as a striking focal point in a living room, bedroom, office, nursery, hallway, or creative space.
