 Gladys Barbot Desmangles
The incredibly popular Haitian painter Gladys Barbot Desmangles creates dream-like figures, often faceless round women in mythical roles, clutching golden eggs, coddling baby chickens, and floating through dreams. Her figures lack facial features because the artist believes they are "not the only means to convey expressiveness and feelings." The lovely soft palette and emotional figures in her work give it a universal appeal, and have made Gladys one of PaintingsDIRECT's best-selling artists. View artworks still available.

Peter Illig
Peter Illig's realist, narrative paintings comment on the underlying psychological relationship between people, and how it is often portrayed in the media. He often depicts the darker side of human relationships in his scenes, focusing on our desires and passions. The strong imagery, film-noir style and larger scale of these challenging works have garnered a lot of attention this year, making Illig one of our most sought-after artists.

Priscilla Souder
American painter Priscilla Souder says she would like her work "to convey pleasure and excitement through paint action, rhythm, movement and color. Subject matter, if any, is 'only an excuse to build upon." Her delicately painted work belongs to many corporate and private collections in the United States, and with her amazingly reasonable prices (everything is priced in the low hundreds!), Souder's work is nearly sold out.

Mary Atkinson
Mary Atkinson's surreal, abstract paintings are fantastic representations of landscapes and figures. She distorts memorable places like the Sicilian Catacombs and the canals of Venice and, in her Road Series, merges corporeal forms with road scenes. The newer Mammoth Series series pays homage to the ancient creature, integrating its form with abstract swaths and swirls of earth-toned paint. Her signature, warm expressive style makes her work beautiful to look at. View artworks still available.

 Christopher Fabbri
California artist Christopher Fabbri creates landscape paintings that fall somewhere between realism and abstraction. Adding to the mysterious quality of the work, Fabbri paints areas of realistic color and heavily brushes them in order to smooth his surfaces, resulting in blurred, dreamlike images that hint at the subconscious. With subjects chosen from his memories of childhood vacations, something in his paintings touches everyone who views them. View artworks still available.

 Elizabeth Wolfson
Floral compositions and country scenes are Massachusetts painter Elizabeth Wolfson's specialty, although her choice of subject is secondary to her obvious love of painting. "I love the process, which to me can be a mystery or a puzzle, and I enjoy the design or fantasy I can create with color, shape and line." Wolfson has exhibited her work throughout Massachusetts and has sold her work successfully to an international audience through PaintingsDIRECT.com for nearly two years.
