Southern Oregon Artists Resource

My goal in creating images is to cause one to pause for a moment, look and ponder. Each photo reflects my belief that we are challenged by uncertainty and blessed with mystery. Rio Querencia, River of Serenity, is both a state of mind and my home on the Applegate River in Southern Oregon.

Norm Rossignol began painting watercolors in 1985. He is a member of Southern Oregon Society of Artists; Ashland Art Center; Co-founded the Plein Air Society of Southern Oregon; and founder of the Rogue Review Artist Group. He offers watercolor instruction to beginning and intermediate students in Phoenix, Oregon. See Norm's listing in the Teaching Artists directory

I’m inspired by Zen aesthetic principles of simplicity, understatement, asymmetry, and tranquility.  Also by Vermeer and Edward Hopper. My most recent work is fine art portraiture, using natural light in a quiet place. If you’re interested please contact me for commissioned portraiture.  I’m also a writer. You can check that out at www.casualtiesthenovel.com.

My art is guided by my instincts, my curious nature & sense of discovery, and great music rocking on my stereo.  My goal is not perfection but rather to honestly represent my efforts & the outcome each new creation presents, whether it's capturing the alluring beauty of a woman or the juxtaposition of various metals & found objects together to create a unique piece of art.  I currently work in oil, acrylic, watercolor, metal (copper's a favorite) and photography.

Ron specializes in black & white imagery using traditional techniques; Dee, an artist, works in color and loves using her computer to work with the images she's taken. Together they travel the Western states capturing new images and creating fine photography, both independently and as a team whose collaborations artfully blend their combined talents.
