Our cover this issue, "Embracing Joy,"
is by Anne Skok. About her work, she says, "I began painting
at age 11, and began painting people soon after. Meeting with
other artists to study the figure on a weekly basis helps my
images stay fresh. It's my ultimate satisfaction to capture
the expression that I'm going after when painting a face.
Sometimes it can take weeks and other times, as with "Embracing
Joy,' it can take only minutes. 'Embracing Joy,' was created
for a breast cancer research fundraiser. My intention
was to create an inspirational image portraying the significance
of living in the moment."
