RUBY ARTIST OF MAY
WEI YAN
"Prologue" - Oil and acrylic
"My art expression mainly circles around the philosophy of grasping and describing the wonders of the universe. I would like to think its transcendent state of consciousness is magnificent. Philosophy conveys the intangible aspect of beauties with ideas and words. Abstract art expresses the perfection that surpasses popular beauty in form. I depict nature with the thought of Taoism and achieve my style by using different mixed-media, trying my best to discover the multidimensional through my art piece. I name my art as New Imagism." -- WEI YAN

SAPPHIRE ARTIST OF MAY
DIANE LIGUORI
"Raining Petals" - Oil
"A whispering fall of tender petals; a splash of grace to sweetly cap the rain. Unexpected contrasts of fragile and strong, light and dark, soft and gritty, introvert and extrovert, textured…and silky smooth. Delicate, tissued layers of pink, purple, mauve, lavender, rose and violet paint the mysterious inky dark of gravel in a translucent sweep of luminous color. A whimsical note of brilliant yellow to gild and complement the whole. "Raining Petals" is a gentle reminder of the ephemeral nature of life, and what surprising beauty comes with transitions."
-- DIANE LIGUORI

CRYSTAL ARTIST OF MAY
VINCENZO COHEN
"Protection" - Oil
"I am a polyhedral artist and my artistic production is the result of a continuous process of historical-scientific research addressed to the representation of cultural content with a social and naturalistic background. I am involved in nature conservation and I usually travel through Africa and Middle East to get inspiration for my art production. My work consists in the reworking of life and travel experiences through different media."
-- VINCENZO COHEN

EMERALD ARTIST OF MAY
BRANDI FOSTER
"Pa'ina Balconies" - Photography
"Photography is a way to share how I see the world. I enjoy working in black and white, the contrast of light and dark inspires me to create works that can capture a viewer’s imagination and evoke an emotional response or start a conversation. I seek out abandoned and forgotten spaces to show that beauty can be found there. I have recently started expanding my work to include color and street photography. Today's world moves so quickly. I want to capture and be an invisible part of moments big and small that can be taken for granted."
