“When painting, I have the feeling that all is right with world. Those that have my art on the walls, say it has the same effect...” - Kirk Larsen

I have been passionate about drawing and painting since early childhood and I’ve never met a medium I didn’t like.

FASO Collector Recommends: Yael Maimon

Get Notified When Yael Posts New Art

Biography

Yael Maimon was born in Israel on January 22, 1980. Drawing and painting since forever, Maimon decided to be fully committed to her art in her early twenties. In 2003 she graduated from Bar Ilan University with a first degree B.A. in Psychology. Her art education includes studying with the oil painter Amnon David Ar in 2005-6 in Israel, attending Margaret Dyer‘s pastel workshop in France, Eugen Chisnicean‘s watercolor workshop in France and Daniel Keys‘ online course.

Maimon is best known for her Cats painting series. She volunteered at an animal rescue center and today at her home still taking care and saving abandoned kittens. “Cats are now my first circle of close friends. I love them and they give me daily inspiration. Cats are very intelligent creatures, they are simply fascinating animals” . For her, it’s both fun and a challenge trying to capture their facial expressions, gestures and body language on canvas or paper.

Maimon enjoys painting in a variety of media including oil, pastel, acrylic, watercolor and mixed media. In addition to her Cats series, Maimon works on a magical figurative series called Once Upon a Time and a still-life Pastry series. She likes “playing” with the colors and constantly experimenting. In her work process there’s always room for improvisation and spontaneity.

Although grounded in realism, Maimon’s paintings are often impressionist in nature. Her artwork was featured in collective art exhibitions in Israel, gained international recognition and has been bought by private collectors.

FASO Collector Recommends: Paco Savino

Get Notified When Paco Posts New Art

Biography

I am an Italian selftaught multidisciplinary artist working across painting, sculpture, tattooing, animation, jewelry, and writing. My artistic practice is primarily centered on creating hyper-realistic surrealist works that combine realistic portraiture with symbolism, abstraction, and emotional intensity. I mainly work with acrylics while traveling and oils when in a studio setting, adapting my techniques and materials to the environment around me. My earlier work was deeply influenced by metaphysical and esoteric studies, including sacred geometry, alchemy, duality, universal consciousness, and spiritual symbolism. I explored themes connected tohidden dimensions of reality and the relationship between the spiritual and material worlds. Through layered symbolism and carefully constructed compositions, I aimed to create works that invited reflection beyond the visible surface. Over the years, my artistic language evolved toward a more instinctive and emotionally driven approach. Influenced by Latin American culture, indigenous traditions, and the energy of painting in public spaces, I began focusing less on rigid symbolism and more on spontaneity, emotional flow, and the expressive power of color. I often create my own handmade canvases and custom pastel blends from primary colors, treating color itself as a symbolic and emotional language within the artwork. Alongside painting, I create hyper-realistic silicone sculptures, illustratedbooks, and tattoo designs that extend my visual identity across different mediums. My work seeks to merge technical precision with intuitive expression, creating immersive visual experiences that connect symbolism, emotion, and contemporary surrealism into a singular artistic vision.

FASO Collector Recommends: Ashwini Bharathula

Get Notified When Ashwini Posts New Art

Biography

Ashwini Bharathula (b.1984) is a representational fine artist specializing in oil painting, currently based in Chandler, AZ. “Growing up in India, I LOVED to draw in my spare time. My artistic journey began with sketching Disney characters and figures from Indian mythology.” Ashwini pursued a formal education in the field of Materials Science and Engineering. After completing her Bachelor’s degree at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, she moved to the US in 2005 to pursue her Master’s and PhD at The Ohio State University. A summer painting class during graduate school reignited her love for creating. After getting her PhD, she worked in the semiconductor industry for a few years. “Even while working in the corporate world, I had this constant itch to paint.” With a deep appreciation for both the analytical and the creative, Ashwini eventually left the corporate world to explore the intersection of science and art. She first launched a YouTube channel featuring educational science videos and later collaborated with TED-Ed to create animated short films. During this period, she also deepened her commitment to painting, ultimately making the leap to pursue fine art full-time. “The act of creating something realistic and beautiful from scratch brings me immense joy,” she says.

Her artistic education includes workshops at the Scottsdale Artists’ School and extensive study of foundational texts like Richard Schmid’s Alla Prima. She has studied with renowned artists such as Susan Lyon, Daniel Keys, Suchitra Bhosle, Louis Carr, Todd Casey, Ned Mueller, Adrien Gottlieb, Kathleen Speranza, and Gustavo Ramos. Today, Ashwini is also an instructor at the Scottsdale Artists’ School, sharing her passion and expertise with fellow artists.

“My painting style can be described as Representational Realism. I primarily work alla prima in oils and prefer to paint directly from life. My subjects span flowers, portraits, and landscapes-each offering me a unique opportunity to explore color, texture, and composition in depth. I find endless inspiration in floral themes; their variety and vitality never fail to exhilarate. In portraiture, I aim to go beyond mere likeness, capturing the spirit and personality of the human in front of me. I also enjoy painting landscapes and scenes inspired by my travels. Whether it’s the beauty of a rose, a mountain vista, or an expressive face, these moments spark joy in my heart and inspire me to bring them to life on canvas. Painting places me in a deeply immersive state when I stop thinking and simply create!”

FASO Collector Recommends: Teresa Tromp

Get Notified When Teresa Posts New Art

Biography

My son and I are studio potters, not production potters. As studio potters we focus on unique, handcrafted pieces that are functional. Pottery that’s meant to be used, touched and looked at for their unique, distinctive qualities. No two pieces are the same, though in a series, the pieces will have similar aesthetics.

Teresa resides in Shelby, North Carolina. North Carolina is filled with artistic inspiration from the numerous wildflowers that line the landscape, to the lush tapestries of its ocean dunes.

She graduated from Paier School of Art in 1978.

During her career Teresa has been employed as an art director for
Safari Club International in Tucson, Arizona, as well as various print shops in Connecticut and Arizona. Although employed as a graphic artist most of her 30 year art career, her love of fine art craft has never left her.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
The play of opposites is a key factor in all of my artwork. Complementary colors, the contrast between light and dark, bright and subdued, rigid lines against soft dabs, smooth alongside texture.

The impression of fabric can be found in many of my clay vessels.
Textures, patterns and colors can be “woven” into pottery using tools, stains and glazes.

Flowers, which have eluded me on canvas, come to life on pottery.
Delicate petals are drawn, sculpted, carved, hand glazed or formed utilizing colored porcelain clay. For me, it’s all about the flowers; usually the focal point on my pottery vessels.

Been painting since I was 10 - that would be almost 60 years ago! It’s quite possible I’ve pursued every craft imaginable. As of January 2017, wheel-throwing has been added to this list of creative endeavors.
In December 2022, a new ceramic journey began; coloring porcelain to create functional pottery. Coloring porcelain has reignited our passion for creating pottery. Sketching form and texture ideas, color combinations, making test tiles, combining colored porcelain clay techniques, and actually coloring the porcelain itself, are all part of the creative process.

Bowls, lidded jars and vases are items I am particularly interested in adorning with various colored porcelain clay techniques. Currently honing my wheel-throwing and hand-building skills, as well as envisioning new ways to embellish pottery with floral creations, whether graphically or whimsically.

OUR COLORED PORCELAIN CLAY JOURNEY
There are various Colored Porcelain Clay techniques my son, Dennis, and I are constantly experimenting with.

These are a few techniques we like to combine or use alone in our handcrafted pottery:

Neriage - a wheel throwing technique which involves 2 or more colored porcelain clays, spun on the wheel, integrating the colors.

Nerikomi - a hand building technique piecing together different sections of colored porcelain design, and either forming a slab built vessel or a press molded vessel. This is perhaps the most difficult colored porcelain clay technique, as cracks can occur at any stage of the process. (the unmentionables - cracks)

Mishima - this technique can be applied to handbuilt or wheel-thrown pottery. After the greenware (or raw) clay has stiffened to leather hard stage (not quite bone dry, but dryer than wet clay) a design is engraved into the clay. The grooves, or channels created during the engraving process, are filled with a colored slip (wet, colored clay). After this dries sufficiently, the excess slip is scraped off, leaving the surface of the pottery smooth and level.

Sgraffito - sgraffito is an Italian word meaning - to scratch. This colored porcelain clay technique is the opposite of mishima. A layer of slip (wet clay) is applied to the surface of the pottery, and a design is carved into the wet slip. This etching reveals the color underneath the slip. With sgraffito, the design is not flush to the surface of the pottery; it is slightly raised, and the etched design does not get filled in.

Relief Carving - Teresa enjoys carving colored porcelain clay with various flowers and sometimes leaves with a bas-relief, or low relief design.

Hand Painting - We have begun to incorporate “painting” portions of our hand-colored porcelain pottery with underglazes, adding another dimension to the surface of porcelain vessels.

We color all of our porcelain by hand to create one of a kind color combinations. There are times when a new clay enters the market, that we just HAVE to try, whether it’s a stoneware clay, or a colored porcelain clay that is colored by the manufacturer. We will set our hand colored porcelain aside, for a little while, to try out this new clay, and will always share the results with you.

Selling our work helps inspire the journey. Your purchase(s), not only allow us to pay for more pottery supplies, but they also motivate us to produce a greater finished product.

Thank you to all the people who have helped inspire us along the way.

FASO Collector Recommends: Mary Susan Vaughn

Get Notified When Mary Posts New Art

Biography

I think I must have been born with a paintbrush in hand and an enthusiasm for color and fine art from a very early age. As a child, my artwork hung on everything from refrigerators to walls, from elementary school classrooms to neighbor’s basement walls and beyond. I had an elderly neighbor, Mrs. Johnson, who lived alone and would give me a “Mary Jane” candy for every piece of artwork I would bring over to her. I stocked up on “Mary Jane’s” and Mrs. Johnson stocked up on my childhood artwork.

Academics: My higher academic studies were Paralegal studies at Nova University in Florida and International Business and Law at Georgetown University, during a time in the 90s when I thought I was going to be a lawyer, and the Academy of Art University when I finally decided that being an artist was my calling.

I also took art courses at the Maryland College of Art and Design. However, it has been my years of self-study, copying Master paintings, taking workshops, learning from master artists, and reading from my art book collection that has been my most fulfilling educational experience as an artist.

Inspiration: I believe it takes a lifetime to develop an artistic skill and so, I began by copying the masters I loved, taking frequent workshops from artists I looked up to, and a few college courses in art, all the time working on my artistic skills and developing my personality on canvas.

I have studied under the inspiration and tutelage of living masters such as Richard Schmid and Dan Schultz, just to name a few, and have extensively studied the works of masters Helen VanWyk, Edward Hopper, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt, Lilla Cabot Perry, Winslow Homer, and Elisabeth-Louise Vegee-Lebrun.

Always the perpetual student, I continue to grow and develop my mastery of oil and pastel painting, while caring for my family.

In my professional career since 1995, I have become an accomplished artist, selling my paintings to collectors as far away as Italy and Paris, and to many collectors throughout the United States. My work can also be found in a number of corporate collections and business establishments. I have had a number of successful one-woman exhibits and have won recognition in a number of Artist competitions.

I consider myself to be an accomplished entrepreneur and blogger. My personal blog, Raisin Toast, has provided me an opportunity to connect with other women, creatives, and mothers around the globe, and has won a number of awards for my content and design. Raisin Toast has stories about my artwork, family, new home build, reflection, being a grand parent, and also some quilting and sewing stories. It is my life in a nutshell.

The more I paint, the more I want to paint. Seeing something new come out of an idea is gratifying, even when it doesn’t turn out as intended. There is no end to learning or to challenges. There are also endless opportunities to see more around me in a different way. It makes my life richer.

I spent many years in IT as a systems analyst mainly supporting Finance departments. I’ve taken long detours from the art journey - getting a computer science degree, working full-time, raising sons, attending lots of ballgames - but I always did keep art in there at least a little. I know painting has helped me through a few difficult times along the way.

I grew up on a farm in rural Minnesota where do-it-yourself was a way of life. Now, after many years of living in a metropolitan area, I’m back to rural life in western Wisconsin. It feels really good.

FASO Collector Recommends: Debra Davis

Get Notified When Debra Posts New Art

Biography

Based in the heart of rural Alabama, nestled amidst the lush landscapes and charming architecture that inspire her paintings, is artist Debra Davis. Born at Fort Benning in Columbus. GA, Davis’ early life was shaped by the transient nature of her father’s naval career. Moving frequently and attending different schools each year, Davis cultivated a quiet personality.

The calling to be an artist didn’t echo until when she was in ninth grade. She surprised herself by falling in love with drawing - the thrill of creating something recognizable was exhilarating. Her artistic genes may have been inherited from her musician father and brother, for she discovered an innate talent despite not having formal art classes until later in life.

She balanced her craft with her personal life, getting married early and having a child, and with her professional commitments, which saw her serve 20 years in corporate America. Even as her life was filled with obligations, the dream of painting never faded. It continued as a hobby, with frequent purchases of art supplies in anticipation of having time to create.

When she finally found the space to engage with her art, Davis dove in with acrylics before transitioning to oils, drawn by their capacity to better express her feelings. Today, she continually seeks to better her craft by attending numerous art workshops. She studies other artists and their techniques, learning and adopting them, but always making sure to add her unique touch.

Her passion for capturing the beauty in everyday rural life radiates in her work. She is drawn to scenes that might seem less than perfect to the average eye but thrives on bringing the unexpected to life on her canvas. To achieve this, Davis fully immerses herself in her subject matter, using all her senses to understand it before picking up a brush. This approach, combined with her use of color and texture, has become her signature technique and sets her work apart.

Her labor of love has not gone unnoticed. Davis took first place at her very first show in Covington, Georgia. She later won Best in Show in another competition and also placed third at the Atlanta Artist Association.

However, Davis is not one to sit on laurels. She continues to find inspiration and challenge in rural America’s landscapes, lovingly translating barns, streams, trees, and forgotten vintage items onto her canvas. Her favorite projects often revolve around these subjects.

A notable influence on her work is John Pototschnik, a color master whose style evokes different moods across his different scenes. His work has helped Davis develop the visual language she uses to express the tranquility and peace she sees in the world around her. She also enjoys working with Amanda Lovett, who mentored with John, and frequently takes workshops with her to learn her techniques for realistic landscapes.

Davis is currently an active member of several art organizations, nationally with Oil Painters of America and National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society and regionally and locally including the Columbus Artist Guild, Auburn Arts Association, Opelika-Auburn Visual Voice, Visual Arts Association of LaGrange, and the Montgomery Arts Guild.

As she looks forward, Davis plans to continue honing her craft and sharing the alluring beauty of rural life. She believes in the critical role of art in society as a conduit of shared emotion and understanding. Davis wants her work to continue resonating with peaceful and calming feelings among those who view it. Her goal is to continue capturing the marvels of everyday life and expressing them in vibrant colors and textures on canvas. For Debra Davis, the journey is just as important as the destination, resulting in art that is as satisfying to create as it is to view.

Biography

Growing up in a modest home in what some would call a nondescript suburb, was really a good thing for me. When you have to look a bit harder to find beauty, you really appreciate it. I believe this has shaped my relationship with art. I have been called a “slice of life” painter, which I love! I think helping people to see the beauty in something they would not normally take notice of is a wonderful privilege.

Up through my college years I pursued art as a career only to realize that I was being steered towards becoming an art teacher or a graphic designer. Both are worthy fields, but not what I wanted to do. I took a “break” from school to do some soul searching. During this time I met and married my husband Tim and started working with him in the real estate field.

On a whim, I took a plein air class from well respected painter Eric Jacobsen. I had never tried oil paints before and didn’t even know anything about plein air. So this was like a double “Aha!” moment for me. I loved the brave and bold feel of oil paint and the adventure of the outdoors. I was hooked. My husband encouraged me and recognized my growing desire to paint, paint, PAINT! It soon became apparent that this would be part of our future. I began taking classes and workshops in my spare time and reading every art book and magazine I could get hold of.

Like many others, the great real estate crash of 2007 became an opportunity for me to reevaluate my career. From a very young age I had the idea that I should be creating art. As an adult the question became “how?” What I’ve since learned is that each artist’s path is a very individual journey. There really is no road map.

Since taking the leap and becoming a full time artist in 2013, I have participated in many local and national shows. I continue to find joy in the creative process and am excited to simply find out how far I can increase my skill and find out what is yet to be discovered.

Get Notified When Sandra Posts New Art

Biography

Hi, I’m Sandra.

After spending over a decade in the contour industry, when COVID-19 hit I returned to my first love: art.

I’m a proudly non-traditional digital collage artist, who likes to think outside the box. And is shaped by a mix of lived experiences - Catholic, Jamaican and Brummie. I love wearing animal print and never feel an outfit is complete without my signature bright pink lipstick.

My artwork is filled with my own energy and personal story. I incorporate my own landmark and botanical photography - from homegrown Brummie flowers and parma violets, a nod to my family, the Palmers, to hummingbirds, celebrating my Jamaican heritage.

I’m inspired by the candid photography of Terry O’Neill and the striking botanical collages of 17th-century artist and collage pioneer Mary Delany.

At its heart, my art is about love, optimism and celebrating life on our beautiful planet. Because, as far as we know, there’s nowhere else quite like Earth.

FASO Collector Recommends: Sarah Rose

Get Notified When Sarah Posts New Art

Biography

Sarah Rose was born in Oxnard California in 1967. She amazed her mother by drawing as early as a year and a half old. When she was 9 her family moved to an extremely rural part of central Nevada which was to have a major impact on her future art endeavors. Horses became part of her life and featured prominently in her early drawings and paintings. When she was a teenager she took a mail order course in taxidermy and shortly after that began sculpting. After a short career in taxidermy where she learned anatomy Sarah began pursuing sculpture seriously and became a signature member of the Society of Animal Artists in New York. She was a professional sculptor for over 30 years focusing first on wildlife and then moved exclusively to horses. She always had a secret desire to paint though, and has been painting in pastel since 2012.

Sarah has lived in Colorado since 1991 and in the Durango, Colorado area since 2001. She was an avid horseback rider and explored thousands of miles of trails in both Colorado and Utah, sometimes packing in camping gear and spending up to a week in the backcountry. In painting the landscape and horses she draws on the long hours spent in the saddle appreciating the natural world and the nature of horses. Although her horse is now enjoying a well earned retirement Sarah still gets out on drives to find inspiration and bring back lots of photos to work from in her studio. One of her favorite drives is the fall color loop on the San Juan Skyway every autumn.
