Philip Ringler photography:
Artist’s Statement
I photograph ideas.
Philosophical/psychological landscapes of the human predicament.
Found. Constructed. Conceptual.
Suffering and redemption, confusion and clarity, existence and death, turmoil and healing, sorrow and joy.
Depth contrasts the superficial. Subterranean visions subvert consensus reality. Nothing is what it seems.
Paradox. Absurdity. Simulation. Authenticity. Life. Death.
Titles inform images, metaphor overrides logic, and ambiguity emerges.
Layers of symbols created though action/observation transcend ordinary assumptions.
Moments are not captured and memories are not preserved.
Ideas are presented. .

Cheryll May Macintyre, Paintings:
”Storytelling without words; explore, express and liberate, my heart. Art has deepened the appreciation I have for myself. Creating space in my life to do what I love, this act makes me feel worthy. For me, this act is love.
The artwork you see is a snippet of my life’s journey—the journey from my head to my heart. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I have been blessed to have individuals share their failures, dreams, successes and tragedies. However harsh or joyful, the vulnerabilities of others are the vulnerabilities of my own. These experiences have shown me that no matter how different we are or scared we may be, in our hearts we are connected. I want to be open with you so you will be open with me, I want to share those intimate details. I dream of creating art that vibrates my inner being to yours; art that inspires, uplifts, soothes, and art that create space for all that fills my soul and yours. This act of art, this art of love reminds me of how beautiful life is, mine and yours. Each piece is infused with energetic intention that sustains me on this journey. Share this journey with me.” - Cheryll May Macintyre
