NEW YORK/EWORLDWIRE/June 1, 2009 --- MIXING IT UP -- Del-Bourree Bach is a widely-collected artist who is very active in several art organizations (American Society of Marine Artists, Salmagundi Club, AAPL and others). He is represented in galleries in New England and Florida. Bach approached the curation with enthusiasm and decisiveness. As he went through the selection, he looked especially for good design and unusual statements in a variety of media. He had said in the call, "I will be looking for mastery of the medium, but also uniqueness -- something that really grabs me." True to his intention, some of his choices are elegantly simple in design, others complex. All are visually arresting, even in the thumbnail size where clear design is the major requirement. What's more, all invite a closer look at the detail, and deliver a satisfying "ah" to the discerning art lover.
The 30 artists represented in June 2009 (with day of month) are: Ruth Butler (9), Donna Cleary (30), Janet Cook (6), Donelli DiMaria (14), Anthony Gordon (8), David Hollander* (4), Mollie Kellogg (20), Guenter Knop (25), Francien Krieg (10), Gerard Lartique* (12), Tony Lee (7), Lucinda Luvaas (16), Jean Marcellino (3), Joe Mays (23), Dan McCormack (24), Jacqui Morgan (13), Kathy Ostman-Magnusen (15), Angelique Price (22), Chanit Roston (17), Michael Seif* (1), Cindy Sibilsky (26), Ilene Skeen (21), Christopher Smith* (18), Bill Teitsworth, NWS* (19), William Thierfelder (11), Randy Thurman (27), Judy Volkmann (5), C.
