"Rockstar" abstract art by Lee Clark Malouf is a 8x11 acrylic painting with a white frame.
Lee is a native Mississippian with deep roots in her hometown of Yazoo City. Having worked in various genres, she is now focused on abstract expressionism, which provides her the freedom to experience her palette more fully. Lee has been influenced by postimpressionists, particularly Van Gogh, Gauguin, Matisse and Cezanne, and by abstract expressionists particularly works by Lee Krasner, de Kooning, Twombly and, more recently, Marie Hull and Andrew Bucci.
Lee finds great joy in interpreting thoughts, feelings and imaginations in a concentrated area and by becoming totally immersed in the beauty of what she is creating.
She stated, “I enjoy starting with an emotion, thought or vibrancy of a particular color. There is a certain excitement in not knowing a distinct path, but rather in taking a journey and letting the canvas suggest the way. I find creative power in abstract expressionism to be a link with the soul.”

"Ready to Pick" art by Victoria Ramsay is a 9x12 oil painting on linen framed.
"I returned to my native Mississippi by way of Texas and Europe. My medium is oil and my style is representational and forever developing. I spent two decades as a professional ballerina performing soloist roles throughout Europe and the United States. My worldly experiences, mentors, and peers have greatly influenced my understanding of movement and creativity in painting. My love of interesting people, nature, travel, local farmers markets and historical places gives me plenty of inspiration for my paintings. The ballerina in me knew that the discipline of my past and studying the old masters and contemporary artists would mold me as an artist. Like these masters, I mostly paint my landscapes and still life from life which allows me to keep an intimate and fresher approach to my paintings that gives them that personal touch. My mentor and teacher, Santa Fe artist Joe Anna Arnett, and first teacher Mississippi artist Bob Tompkins have been a crucial part of my development. I am a signature member of the Plein Air Artists of Mississippi, co-founder of Plein Air South America, a member of the Mississippi Artist’s Guild, Mississippi Oil Painters Association and the Women Painters of the Southeast. My paintings can be seen on a few better walls here and there! " Victoria Ramsay
