Stella Canfield

Stella Canfield's art is known for its deep emotional content, the dynamic of the brush stroke

and vivacious colors. She creates intuitively and spontaneously in a relaxed, natural way of

expressing her individual emotional response to the subject or scene she paints. Her work is

charged with the energy of her own life, her passion for people and nature. The inspiration for

Stella’s art comes from her appreciation of beauty and her positive view of the world. Stella

prefers to introduce symbols, giving the viewers the opportunity to visualize the details. This

way she strives to emotionally involve them as partners, to give them a feeling of the

ownership of the painting. She believes that art is a way of spiritual communication.

Stella was honored by Daniel Smith with two Stella Canfield’s Artist Master Sets of her

favorite colors and included in CEO John Cogley’s one-on-one video interviews titled In the

Artist’s Studio. She was included in Life with John Cogley.

Today Stella teaches watercolor, juries and participates in exhibits initiated by art

organizations in the USA, Europe and Asia. She has received many international awards for

her work. Her paintings are in several private, corporate, and museum collections in America,

Europe and Asia.

Stella’s work and co
ntribution to American art are published in the book by Karlyn

Holman Watercolor The Spirit of Spontaneity. Her biography is included in Who’s Who in

America and Who’s Who in American Women.

Born in Melbourne in 1956 of Dutch parents, Herman was 17 when he held his first solo exhibition in Melbourne: it was a sell-out success. He spent three years studying and painting in Amsterdam and London, where he encountered the works of Constable, Turner and Rembrandt. These impressed him and influenced his own work. On returning to Melbourne in 1982 he began studying for his fine arts degree at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Dale Hickey, Jeff Makin and Clifton Pugh are just a few of the contemporary artists under whom Herman studied and who were instrumental in cultivating his appreciation of contemporary art, as well as experimentation with abstract impressionism. His tonal works, in oil and watercolour, range from city and landscapes to café and bar interiors to dynamic industrial scenery. They all demonstrate the very best of contemporary impressionism. Herman is a multi-awarded painter: a three-time winner of the coveted Camberwell Gold Medal Art Prize and a winne...
