Introducing this week's PaintingsDIRECT.com artists.
  Terry Oakes Bourret
Terry Oakes Bourret's plein-air landscapes pay homage to the pleasures of everyday life. By painting outdoors, the artist captures the true spirit of local country roads and seasonal foliage. "I want the viewer to share the mood I felt during an inspiring experience." Bourret is a member of the Catherine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club, and has been exhibiting her work prolifically throughout the Northeast.
 
  Phyllis Goldberg
Phyllis Goldberg's simple, flat compositions are based on interpretations of nature that the artist has reworked to achieve more ambiguous forms. "I want to depict nature without necessarily showing it." Goldberg studied at the Art Student's League in New York, and has exhibited her work throughout Massachusetts and New York.
 
  Armen Yepoyan
Armenian artist Armen Yepoyan tries "to comprehend the essence of man's existence" in his gestural abstractions. The layered marks of his paintings signify human mortality and Earth's natural resources. "I proceed from my initial impressions to a better understanding, and, finally, an appreciation of my contacts and relationships with nature." Yepoyan received his masters degree at the Architectural University of Yeveran in Armenia, and his can be found in the collections of ANINAR Ventures Group, Life Technologies, Inc. and the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia.

 
  Thomas Heath
Thomas Heath paints on materials from everyday life, such as magazine covers in The New York Times Series, and aprons in an earlier series of wearable art. Heath combines African American ancestral imagery with scenes from popular culture and urban lifestyles in pieces such as Gangsta Rap. The artist has exhibited his work in two solo shows and numerous group shows in New York City, and his work belongs to the collection of the New Harlem Gallery.
