GARMASH

Michael & Inessa met at a bus stop in 1990. Inessa woke the next day to her image painted all around the city surrounding her house on the road, on the walls of buildings and the walls of her apartment staircase. Michael had spent the night painting. Although he was arrested, he was not punished; even the police can sympathize with true love!

In similar spontaneous fashion, the two began painting together. Several years after their marriage, Michael began a painting of their daughter for a project at school. However, their two-year old found the painting and added her own touches to the piece. Inessa, not wanting Michael to be upset, fixed the painting, packed it up and gave it to him to submit. Michael handed the painting over for review and was told it was his best work ever. He was surprised to see the new painting and immediately recognized his wife’s hand.

Since then, Michael and Inessa Garmash have been a team creating beautiful paintings exhibited all over Europe. View their works on our website.

DEBORAH BIGELEISEN

After leaving her former career as a textile designer and C.E.O. of her own global design company in New York City, Deborah Bigeleisen is now pursuing full time my joy of painting.

Says Deborah, "I've always loved working with color, design, and texture, deriving inspiration from the colors and patterns in nature. I work in oils because I love the sensual physical quality of the medium. For me they are a vehicle for pure expression. Drawing inspiration from the techniques of the 17 th Century Dutch Master Artists and the incredible depth and luminosity achieved in their paintings through as many as 40 layers of glazing, I approach my painting in the same classic manner."

ROBERT FINALE

Robert Finale’s work is heartwarming and peacefully enchanting. His distinctive style is a colorful blend of impressionistic romance and realistic beauty, mostly in historic settings. His paintings transport you to a time and place of private charm, a haven of pure and quiet delight. He loves to explore the complex interplay of light and its effects on architecture and surroundings.

Ed Chasen Fine Art has recently placed a number of Ed Finale's giclees on canvas on our website. Please take a look.
