(visual artist)"Lance H. Marburger"I paint in order to document what I am seeing. I paint in order that I learn to see what I am seeing. I paint moments in my life that I consider to be milestones — moments that attract me enough for me to want to make a personal mark, or entry, into my diary of life.

(visual artist)"Illustrated Ceramic Tiles"Painting and illustrating ceramic tiles is so much fun! The transformation of the glazes is always a surprise when the kiln is opened. I enjoy incorporating mosaics with the tiles and painting murals. It is great to paint large, fun textured designs on walls using bold curving line work. I also work in oils and acrylics and sometimes mixed media. I like to portray the ordinary world as...

Within the confines of spout, lid and handle I can be more creative than I ever thought possible, continuing to find new ways to address this...

(visual artist)I have long been interested in when different cultures now and in the past begin their time cycle. While trying to discover what was meant by 2002 being the year of the Black Horse for Chinese New Year I found a rich source for interpretation for my New Year’s cards that are sent at various times during different years and tied to someone’s celebration. In Chinese astrology the animal signs...

(visual artist)Falling Through the Cracks started with photographs of the intricately designed sidewalks of Prague. A city resident ignores these mosaic footpaths the way a DC local passes hurriedly by the White House. But as a tourist, I was captivated by the patterns and made art from art.
I reduce the digital images of the sidewalk photos to about an inch wide and fill a... -
(visual artist)"mixed media artist"I produce contemporary mixed-media paintings, working in an expressive, abstract manner. My pieces are distinctive in their use of layering, bold colors and appealing forms. The first layer I put down is never intended to be the last.
Each piece takes me on a personal journey of discovery. I start with a general concept but work directly with the piece to facilitate the release of...
