  • FriedaHowling.com -- Artistic expression for corporate and private collections.
    "Nature is the primary focus of my work -- sometimes the awesome forces of nature, other times the tranquility of nature. I see the environment as forms occupying space. My abstract shapes draw their strength from the firm basis in the natural forms of the landscapes. The artist has the privilege to translate nature's forms into various moods which will affect the inner and spiritual emotions of the viewer." ~ Frieda Howling

  • Primimodernismo.org -- Norey Agudelo's artwork has brought a significant new trend of painting to the United States from South America. In a 1980 exhibition, at the Government Hall of Valle in Cali, Colombia, Ms. Agudelo introduced a new concept called "El Primimodernismo," as a personal idea based both on her observation of the visionary motifs in Pre-Colombian Indian art, and the styles of Universal Modernism. Incorporating these principles into a theory she describes as "Human Activation Through History," she presents a sympathetic view of the human effects of major international events, such as the 9/11 tragedy. Noriam's art elevates the spiritual sense of destiny and human drama.
