About Court Bailey
I have been in and out of the amateur art scene my whole life till I finally decided to became an Instructor in oils with Alexander Art, and Frank Clarke in watercolors. I had been an instructor in the USAF and the FAA so it was a pretty easy transition. My problem, frequently, was that I would become discouraged and give up, then I came across a quote by Connor Cochran: “”…trying to do something is what creates the ability to do it… so it is the willingness to surrender to the struggle, not talent, that defines an artist”. I have it in a prominent place in my studio and refer to it often.
I have always enjoyed trying new mediums and techniques and during the holidays two years ago, I discovered Igor Kazarin, who’s work absolutely blew me away! “Dry Brush” oil portraits were different, challenging and no one knew anything about the process … wow, I had to do this! I found the process challenging but intriguing enough to persist (“surrender to the struggle”), and boy, does it teach you about values. Dry Brushing is easily correctable with an ordinary eraser and when finished brings a softness that many mistake for charcoal or pastel. By the way, this process is very popular in Europe with street artists but is hardly known in the U.S., hopefully, we can help change that, what a blast!.
Pam, said make it short, so if you want to see more of my artistic history, awards. blah, blah, blah, go to my web site: courtbaileyfineart.com. I have one folder committed to Dry Brush Portraits. See you Dec 14th.

“As we look, study, and think about art, our lives are enriched. We are bombarded, every day, by repetitive visual images. They aren’t, necessarily, ones we freely choose. I hope that the images I make will please your eyes, stimulate your mind, and long be a source of pleasure. I also hope that you will find your visit interesting and educational.”
Tony Saladino was born in New Orleans. His BS degree is from LSU in New Orleans. His work is in the collections of the National Museum of Fine Arts, Hanoi, University of Wisconsin – Parkside, University of Dallas, Wichita Falls Museum, Museum of International Art, Bahia, Brazil, McNeese State University, Lake Charles, Louisiana, Museum of Art and Archaeology, University of Missouri, and Parkersburg Art Center – Parkersburg, West Virginia.
He is listed in Who’s Who in American Art, and Who’s Who in the South and Southwest. He has taught at The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, and Oxbow Summer School of Art, Michigan.
“I enjoy the risk taking aspect of doing varied themes, and shifting from medium to medium. While I consider many of my pieces to be personal I am, nevertheless, concerned that the viewer sees images that are universal enough to compel him or her to keep looking at the work.”

Brett Dyer was born in Dallas and relocated to East Texas at an early age. After high school Brett attended Kilgore Junior College for two years under a full scholarship for his talents and creativity in art. Brett received a BFA in painting and printmaking from The University of Texas at Tyler and an MFA in painting and intermedia arts from Texas Woman’s University.
Brett currently lives and works in Dallas where he exhibits locally and works as an art professor at North Lake College. He also teaches private drawing and painting workshops at The Encaustic Center in Richardson. He has won multiple awards for teaching and his art. Recently he was named the 2015-2016 Presidential Scholar of North Lake College. He also won a mural competition allowing him to paint a mural in Deep Ellum. He aims to someday own a gallery of his own exhibiting student and upcoming artists’ work. He continues to create in various media and vows to never stop.
Brett says the following about his work, “My work is honest, vulnerable, and raw. Once the paint dries, the painting dies and then transforms to a memory of a moment in time that we existed in. My work is both my shadow and my soul. My work is my life, and my life is my work. They would not exist without each other.
