German Sculptor, Roland Zehetmeier

"As long as I am practicing my work, especially working with wood, I am still fascinated by human beings.  An almost endless variety of physical, emotional and spiritual ways will probably supply me for a lifetime.  Of course, an occasional animal or something abstract crops up now and then, but right now I am still hooked up with humans." 

"As I work my way into the material, it very often guides me to a clearer and deeper understanding of what I want to express, powerful and basic emotions, hidden deeply within people.  Sometimes complex and intricate beings emerge, woven into each other, wanting to be touched."

Artist GLORIA TINKER

"My approach is up close and personal..  One must see the flutter in a still wing; see beneath the surface and beyond the obvious."
