Yelena Sidorova.....beautiful and joyful paintings that highlight the joy of simplicity, and reverberating with vibrant, glowing colors.

Music...Van Morrison--He did his own thing and never sold out...and he is a good shaman.

Poetry...Maya Angelou--She knows why the caged bird sings.

Writing...C.S. Lewis--He makes me believe in a multiverse...I think he has the inside scoop.

Painting...Henri Rousseau--Have you seen The Dream? Also, he captured the union of the subject/object in the New World.

*I will add more as I ponder further...good question!

**You?

I am a fan of Monet and most of the other impressionists.

As to current artists, there is an Israeli that I really like named Udi Merioz.

I'm a photographer. So light is my thing. And I guess it's not surprising that the master of light would be my favorite artist.

Vermeer. Just amazing.

I'm also a photographer, and I find Vermeer fascinating because he obviously used a camera (obscura) himself.

But I take more lighting inspiration from Caravaggio and more concept inspiration (for my particular work) from Sargent.
