My work emerges as I allow my visual fantasies and stories to come alive. I seek to honor all things in this world around me and to become a part of it all. The stories seem to tell themselves with many archetypical and ancient images. Skulls and bones used in my sculptures are all found in the woods. By making them a major part of each piece I experience the natural world of life and death and the essence of CONTINUANCE.

My ceremonial neckpieces are designed with unique and rare ancient, antique and vintage beads and fetishes from all over the world, especially Africa, the Middle East, China and Tibet.

Adornment of men and women in ancient ritual and ceremony mirror my own concepts of honoring the body with ornamentation.

Woodburning. The name evokes feelings of another era. A time best suited to legend and fable. And this is the vein of artistry that my work taps into.

The intricate detail, the precision and grace of it are captivating to me. Fire to wood, elemental and creational. It is an inspiring medium, well suited to the images that choose to grace it. A a graduate of the Barbara Brennan College of Healing, I am finding that my art is a part of my healing work. All of who I am expresses as pure creativity flowing into the world.

Original woodburnings are available, some framed, some with custom mosaic frames. Prints are also available in brilliant cream matting, in standard frame sizes of 18 x 24 or 11 x 14.

Mosaics of stained glass and semi-prescious bead work are also a passion of mine, fulfilling a deep desire to create beauty with color and precise and graceful order. These creations utilize archetypal patterns that speak of underlying structures. My attempt to define what I feel, in a world that does not readily reflect my knowing.

Meanings for each piece can be read on my web-site. www.artisanreflections.com

All artists have many paths. Life as a visual artist supported Greg Vineyard's blue-sky creative skills throughout his graphic design and art direction career; conversely, that conceptual mode now augments his art and clay journey as he creates works relating to meditation and reflection, as well as projects addressing communication, relationships, spirituality, psychological issues and social politics. Greg specializes in Ceramics for Contemplation & Connectivity: meditation/keepsake bowls, animal figurine and word groupings and other spiritually-focused items, plus custom tile designs and conceptual works utilizing mostly clay. His other loves in art are illustration and assemblage using both saved and found objects.

Greg also consults on creative branding issues, primarily for visual artists. "Branding Triage & Creative Wayfinding: Unflinching Analysis of Your Visual and Marketing-Communications Materials"... many people in the visual arts have a myriad of visual and written materials they have produced in response to various sudden needs - everything from logos to artist statements to web copy; Greg analyzes it as a whole, helping artists regroup and retool to gain a more strategic, comprehensive personal identity and brand plan.

Continuing the dual paths of visual artist and creative professional provide Greg balance, and allow him to be of service to his fellow artists.

Under the PHOTOS link, there are five galleries of various work.

Hendrik Arie Baartman transforms basic shapes and colors into powerful compositions that depict light, shape, power, and mechanized form. His forms are elemental and mystical. In addition, he uses negative space poignantly to show the absence of form and light. The work depicts environments that allude to feelings or mental states. "The common element", he says, "is perhaps a longing for nature that is absent in huge cities."

I sew, build furniture, do pen and ink pointillism, design clothing, and sculpt concrete in addition to my painting. I have never found a project I would not tackle and in the future I plan to learn to weld and begin outdoor sculptures. Part of the purpose of my work is to help people understand themselves and heal after traumatic experiences and I do custom pieces to represent that healing and transition.
