4th Annual Artist's Choice Featured Artists

I have a Masters in Fine Art, Illustration from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. I have a genuine thirst to create, to find the narrative and tell the story, both visually and in words. I work in a variety of media, with a primary focus on oil painting with richness and depth of color and detail. My portfolio ranges from portraits and figurative work, to dynamic, emotionally expressive story illustration, to representations of the abundant color and natural composition spontaneously discovered during time outside.

I am a studio artist, an avid nature lover and an outdoor enthusiast. I currently split my time between the San Francisco Peninsula and Healdsburg, CA, with frequent summers at the beach in the Outer Banks, North Carolina. My paintings have been exhibited and sold locally at Art Bias (artbias.org), at The Society of West-Coast Artists in San Bruno (societyofwest-coastartists.com), and at The Main Gallery in Redwood City (rwcmaingallery.wixsite.com).

My work has been recognized via online international art competitions such as Fusion Art’s (fusionartarchives.com) 2019 Leaves & Petals, Animal Kingdom and Women Artists Competitions, and is available through artsy.net. It is also exhibited and sold through the privately owned Pea Island Art Gallery in Salvo, North Carolina (www.peaislandartgallery.com). Studio visits welcome, by appointment only: diane@dliguoriartandstory.com 1700 Industrial Road, Studio 214 San Carlos, CA. 94070

Elizabeth Hoverman has traveled to 14 different countries. She loves to capture anything from nature, landscapes and people. I have been doing photography for 7 years. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Digital Imaging. I’m not like most photographers I also do image manipulations and retouch. I scored a 0 on the color test. What I love most about photography is traveling and meeting people from all cultures. Photography means you can show the world your perspective.

Oleg Kedria is a sculptor who was born in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine. As a child, he enjoyed playing with plasticine and when an exhibition by Antoine-Louis Barye, arrived in the city where he lived, the sculptor in Oleg came to life.

His love of animals, nature and history are his primary inspiration for his sculptures. Most of his sculptures are created in Bronze, but he also works with precious stones. With his experience of cutting out of wood and stone, in 2013, Oleg created a historical chess set out of mammoth ivory found in North Russia.

Oleg has recently been invited to participate in creating a collection of artwork that is dedicated to the commanders of Kievskaya, Russia. A different artist from around the world will create each piece.

In 2013, Oleg moved to the USA, where he now lives and works. Oleg’s goal is to create interesting art that is not just beautiful but art that will send a message to future generations about their past.
