Home Is Where The Heart Is
Over the centuries artists of every era have been influenced by the beauty of nature and its patterns, from Monet's waterlilies to Van Gogh's sunflowers, these images have been captured on the artist's pallet. And with every artist one of the fundamental goals of producing the images of nature is to bring the beauty from outside in . . . adorning the walls of homes.
Drawing inspiration from their own backyard, their own gardens and/or the natural settings around the world two innovative artists have captured the essence of nature bigger than life on mural sized prints that embrace the walls of many private home collections around the world.
In the hands of these gifted artists, John Bunker and Tom Steigerwald have taken simple objects from nature and transformed them into intricate works of fine art.
Tom Steigerwald, a Philadelphia artist, has realized that mother nature is a supreme and subtle designer to garner inspiration from orchids to roses, to fuchsias, to hibiscus, to ferns, to poppies, to sunflowers, even the lowly bean are the root of the botanical art Tom creates.
His style and techniques and concepts are original and fresh creating floral paintings with a new perspective as botanical depictions larger than life.
