A Painterly Triad - Art by Tal Dvir, Julie Frye, & Melanie Harman

A Painterly Triad - Art by Tal Dvir, Julie Frye, & Melanie Harman Tal Dvir's paintings are figurative and have a variety of painting themes. He describes his paintings as contemporary impressionism grounded in a classical approach. Dvir shares, "My work is a process of constant reinvention. Working with paints on canvas could be described as sculpting and designing with paints, adding layers and textures to present my painting style." Dvir shows in galleries around the state and is an art instructor in Chandler, Arizona. Julie Frye paints primarily with oil and uses a vivid palette to achieve brightly colored realism. She shares, "I consider myself a colorist and most often use a full-color palette to achieve bright and appealing work that evokes a sense of place and emotion." Frye was recently commissioned to do eight large paintings, which are on display in the entrance to the sanctuary of The Church of the Beatitudes. Melanie Harman creates monotypes using stamps and stencils. Her collages are textural paintings. Harman will paint on top of her collages with a brush, marker, or palette knife. She shares, "Collaging with the prints satisfies my more analytical side. It requires me to slow down and take time to get the desired results." Harman is currently Membership Chair for Contemporary Watercolorists of Arizona and is VP of Exhibitions for the Arizona Artists Guild.
