Artists of COCO Gallery

Ceramic

Diane Lublinski

My ceramic work is defined by a love of fantasy and the human form. I express the absurdity of life, drawing influence from the lyrics of music and nursery rhymes.
I have a clear vision of a finished piece starting with wheel thrown pieces, coils and slabs. I alter until my idea emerges.
Decorated with colored slip, underglaze, glaze and sometimes 24k gold. Fired to 2232° in an electric kiln.

Acrylic, Oil, Mixed

Dorothea Neumann

As a young child I spent countless hours drawing animals, people and scenery. However the reality of the job market intervened and I pursued a career as a H. R. professional. Upon retiring I once again indulged my passion for art. Initially I painted landscapes and animals in oil. But soon my imagination drove me to investigate the abstract world. I indulged in the bright colors, the fantastical shapes, the various textures and intriguing techniques that acrylic abstraction offered. I started showing at a local gallery and soon expanded my horizons. To date I have sold artworks from Florida to Illinois and from Montreal to Vancouver. Since 2016 I have regularly exhibited at both Coco Art Galleries in Naples and Estero as well as various Estero Art League special exhibits. From 2005 to 2017 I displayed art with Comité Art D’Oevres and was president for 4 years. In 2023, 600 entries were submitted to the Five Deuces Galleria small works special exhibit; 100 were chosen of which 2 were mine.

Acrylic, Oils, Watercolor, Mixed Media

Julie Olander

I have explored various mediums, delving into the world of representational realism and then into the evocative power of abstract.

In my earlier works of representational realism, I aimed to breathe life into the subjects that captured my imagination. The interplay of light and shadow, the intricacies of human form, and the natural landscapes that envelop us served as my muse. My desire was to immortalize fleeting moments, to evoke a sense of nostalgia and emotions that transcend time.

However, as I embraced the power of abstract, non-objective and expressionist art, I discovered a new language of expression. Within the unbounded realm of abstraction, I found the freedom to unleash emotions beyond the confines of literal representation.

Mixed Media, Pottery

Watercolor

Adriana Rangel

My love and passion for watercolor, or Aquarelle, dates back to my childhood in Colombia. I was fascinated with the creative process, finding inspiration from colors in sunsets, flowers and nature in general. I love dancing with my partners, my brushes, and seeing the paint and the water unpredictably blend to create amazing, large and unique images on the paper. My favorite technique is "wet-on-wet". Painting and creativity is in my soul, my mind and in my blood.

Acrylic

Barbara Reece

My love of creating art became a big part of my life after retiring from a career in secondary education. Creativity takes time, patience and talent. Luckily the "art " gene runs in my family and retirement gave me the opportunity to pursue it.

Mixed media

Gilberto Sanchez

As far as I can remember, art has always been my favorite pastime. I have gone from using crayons to brushes and now I sculpt using materials that are familiar and accessible to me. I used to work in construction and home restoration. From there I got familiar with the uses of Bondo, crack filler foam and others materials and tools. I am still learning and developing new techniques to push the limits of what I can do with these materials


Through my art artwork, I let my inner child come out to play, making whimsical art pieces full of vibrant colors and character, to bring out a smile or some laughter. But I also like to let my serious side take over to capture a moment in time that somehow has touched my heart
and soul or just simply left me in awe.
The diversity of my art has allowed me to share my gift with many different art collectors and people walking by.


It brings me joy to see a persons reaction when my work catches their eye. For a small moment in time, they get to escape into the colors, shapes and emotions. They get to see where I go when I get lost in my artwork.
