Mabel Rollins Harris was an illustrator who specialized in children's art. Her pictures take on an almost surreal quality. She posed her models in a studio and over lit them with multiple light sources creating a shadowless rendition of form. Undoubtedly she is the finest female illustrator of the Art Deco era. She is featured in Charles G. Martignette's The Great American Pin-Up. From the late 1920s through the early 1940s, her work was widely featured on calendars, greeting cards and in magazines and was also reproduced on jigsaw puzzles and hand fans.

"Sand Wash Crossing" Oil painting
By Lani Vlaanderen
Located in Denver, CO
Lani Vlaanderen's (US based) "Sand Wash Crossing" is an oil painting that depicts a herd of multi-colored wild horses and a pony crossing a river. Bio/artist statement: Living in the mountains near Rocky Mountain National Park Lani is never lacking something inspiring to paint, be it a grand sunrise on Long's Peak or a small sparrow perched on a pine branch. All fill her with the desire to put paint to canvas. Her goal is not to replicate what she sees, but to express her emotional response from the source of inspiration visually in paint and convey it to the world. She wants to communicate the awe she feels when in the natural world and the joy she experiences from seeing even the seemingly most insignificant moment in time that will never come again. She strives to convey her belief that all things, all beings, all life and non-life, share equal significance and are essential to the whole. "I began my art quest by taking a few classes at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, then enrolled in Kim English's class at the Art Student's Leaque of Denver. After four years with Kim and functioning as his class monitor, I had the opportunity to participate in a painting group with Richard Schmid in Loveland Colorado. I painted there with him for six years. I have taken workshops from such masters as David Leffel, Sherrie McGraw...
