Daniel Cvammen creates art because it makes him thrive. He creates art because he wants people to see his life the way he sees it. He creates art because it is exciting. Viewing just about anyone's work can give you a good idea about their lives. Who they are, what they saw. An autobiography in paint. Hr really takes to that concept consciously as he draws, paints or works on his press. Every where that he is, you will never find him without supplies. He can never miss an opportunity to capture something that might be so fleeting. The way light would be hitting a few empty chairs or cracks in the side of some brick wall. He sees hundreds of chances every day and he tries to get them all. Every place he eats, every time he sees a band or show, sitting at his desk at work and even in church. His work is his autobiography.

Jim Fuess works with liquid acrylic paint on canvas.  Most of his paintings are abstract, but there are recognizable forms and faces in a number of the abstract paintings.  He is striving for grace and fluidity, movement and balance.  He likes color and believes that beauty can be an artistic goal. There is whimsy, fear, energy, movement, fun and dread in his abstract paintings.  A lot of his abstract paintings are anthropomorphic. The shapes seem familiar. The faces are real. The gestures and movements are recognizable. More of his abstract paintings, both in color and black and white, may be seen at www.jimfuessart.com
