Breese, who resides and works in Chandler, Arizona, is one of the new
breed in digital painters. He creates his works digitally to look like
oil paintings, then giclee prints them to canvas.
Maynard’s
work

Chandler Third Friday and the Phoenix and Las Vegas First Friday
Artwalks, was co coordinator for the Chandler walk; has been featured
in the SanTan Sun News, on Channel 12 Phoenix news, and in the
Las Vegas weekly advisor; is now or has been a featured artist at the
SanTan
Brewery, Cafe De La Cruz, the Urban Tea Loft, Evermore Nevermore gallery
in Mesa, had
solo shows at the Salon7000 gallery space, Shot in the Dark in Tuscon
and the Phoenix Theatre, and was part of a multi artist show at Su Vino
in Scottsdale and the Broadway Palms in Mesa, AZ; and currently has work
in several Phoenix galleries,
including the Galeria de los Muertos. Maynard also has work at the Aruba
hotel and casino in Las Vegas, and at the Neon Venus Gallery, also in
Las Vegas. He recently won the Zhibit.org Silver medal for their summer
contest with his piece, "Finding her Serenity". He also won both
"Gallery choice" and People's choice for "Soaring to you", at the Long
Beach, CA May 2010 artwalk. In addition to the Long Beach show, he has
shown and invited to show again at the North Park Arts festival and the
Ocean Beach arts festival, both in San Diego.
"My goal with my art," said Maynard, " is to create
something that not only looks beautiful and invites you to revisit it
again and again, but creates an immediate emotional response. Art
should be about helping the viewer capture an emotion. Art shouldn't be 'explained', it should be felt.” |
