Introducing this week's PaintingsDIRECT.com artists.
  Beatrice Mady
Beatrice Mady’s abstract paintings are interpretations of nature. Through her work, the artist voices her belief that art can reveal spiritual truth. “The layering of color, both opaque and transparent, can be likened to the layers of consciousness or the veils of reality.” Mady received her MFA from the Pratt Institute in New York, and her work belongs to several corporate collections, including Johnson & Johnson, Janssen Pharmaceutical and Bristol-Meyers Squibb.
 
  Audrey Wreszin
Watercolorist Audrey Wreszin records the delicate detail of fine textures, from wood grain to autumn foliage. The artist has developed her skill over a prolific career of plein-air painting. “Painting outdoors, painting from life, is my passion.” She spends most of her time in a natural wildlife preserve a few miles from her home, observing the ever-changing scenery. Wreszin is a member of the Catherine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club, and has won numerous awards for her achievements in watercolor.
 
  Fay Sciarra
Fay Sciarra’s new paintings of intimate interiors are symbolic and narrative, telling the story of the artist’s daily life. Following in the direction of renown Latin-American painter Frida Kahlo, Sciarra’s style is naïve in its rendering and full of surrealist scale changes and fantastic scenarios. Sciarra studied at the University of Michigan, and will be featured on the Today Show this Sunday to discuss her work.

 
  David Arsenault
Dramatic, natural light inspires realist painter David Arsenault. The artist renders architecture and landscapes from unique perspectives in order to engage his viewers with interesting compositions of light, shadow and color. Sunsets seen from the porch and a barber shop on a Sunday morning are just two of the artists chosen subjects. Arsenault studied at Sage College in Albany, New York and the University of Albany, and has exhibited his works in many exhibitions in this region.

 
  Shirley Fried
Shirley Fried’s latest series of figurative paintings combine portraiture and narrative. The artist captures the expressions of women deep in contemplation as well as active in their daily lives. “The complexity of the human condition [is an] endless source of inspiration.” Fried studied at the Art Students League and at the Famous Artists School in Connecticut, and is a member of the Catherine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club in New York.

 
  Regine Sarallier
French abstract painter Regine Sarallier gives form to the ideas of movement and mysticism. Deep red, black and white dominate the artist’s palette, and each piece develops organically in response to the artist’s thoughts on history and mythology. “You need a magical strength of expression for this language. You have to create unwittingly and fearlessly.” Sarallier studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and the Ecole de Louvre in Paris, and her work belongs to the collection of the Musee de Mans in France.
