Art By Marina Petro

I paint what I love...what inspires me. Inspiration can come from simple everyday objects, driving through the countryside or city, or from my creative imagination. I love many things and seek to express the awesome beauty of this magnificent creation of Heaven and Earth through my paintings. Many of my paintings are created intuitively from my imagination and spirit. Painting from my inner world demands existing in the moment--responding to impulses and impressions as they arise and seek external life. My still life pieces and more realistic landscapes and florals are painted from life or photographs. This provides the dynamic of a visual reference point in the external world--a radically different experience. <br><br>One is my internal, spiritual world brought forth into visibility. The other brings the external world into, and through me, for expression. Each is a great adventure, providing unlimited possibilities for creative discovery.
 My artwork has been used to illustrate magazine articles, music CD covers, wine collections, business stationery, and featured in a variety of publications and national magazines. My paintings and prints are being enjoyed daily in private collections all over the world. I hope you enjoy your visit and are inspired by my artwork!
