Artist Bio Tito Sebastiani I have always dabbled in one form of art or another, though I have no formal training. During my 34 years in the corporate world, creating art was a catharsis from the regimentation and requirement to 'fit the mold' in order to succeed. Upon retirement in 2002, I began working full time at creating art using new and unexpected media whenever and wherever possible. This is another attempt to prove to the establishment (especially my first grade teacher) that it really is all right to color outside the lines! And, so it is with my art. I create because I believe I am inspired and hope God is pleased with my return of the gift He has given me. If He's happy and I'm happy, what more could I possibly hope to accomplish? To have someone purchase my work is simply icing on the cake. It's a pleasant and enjoyable world here - outside the lines! I love bright and vibrant colors for most of my work, and I am constantly experimenting with new mediums. The resulting textures are amazing, and next to color, my work is all about textures. Native American art has always been of interest to me, and I now enjoy being a student of their culture. I am so impressed with their history and lore, and amazed at their insite, spirituality and gentleness. My work is an attempt to represent the detail of their art, and is not intended to suggest authenticity In March 2003 I was the featured artist at the Phoenix Home & Garden Show and displayed 11 of my cement sculptures in the lobby of the Phoenix Civic Center. In April 2006 I was awarded several ribbons for my 2 dimensional copper sculpture pieces from the Southeast Arizona Fine Art and Photography Show. I was also honored with the Head of Indian Affairs Chiricahua Regional Museum & Research Center Willcox, Arizona April 25, 2006 |

Artist Bio Jim Moore A native of Texas, I now reside in Avondale, Arizona. As a child I discovered an insatiable yearning to draw and, pencils in hand, spent countless hours sketching in and around the panhandle region of Texas. My love of art has continued throughout my life. Trained in Fine Art at Texas Tech University, I chose watercolors as my current medium and am an associate Member of the American Watercolor Society and the Arizona Watercolor Association. My works are known for the fine detail I am able to attain, not usually seen in watercolors, especially in my scenery and western paintings. I devote much of my time to family, friends, wood working, furniture making and, of course my art. My furniture has been featured on local Phoenix television programs such as Good Morning Arizona and Sonoran Living. In collaboration with fellow artist Tito Sebastiani, my custom furniture was recently featured as part of the stage set for The Home Zone with Vicki J exhibit at the Phoenix Home and Landscape Show. With its varied scenic beauty, Arizona provides an opportunity to express my love for the old west through my artwork. Many of my scenery and old west paintings are based on actual Arizona locations.
