 Dear Kennedy Publishing--

The Best of Watermedia Artists, Vol. II (both sets) has arrived, and it was well worth the wait.  I am honored to be in this publication, and thank you for selecting my artwork. Sincerely,

The books (Best of America Watermedia) arrived and they are beautiful!  Thank you so much.  The color is great and  I'm really pleased with the reproductions of my work and that of my teaching  partner, Lee Baughman, in this volume. We are both thrilled  to have been a part of this collection of American Watermedia and hope to participate in future volumes!  My best,

I just got my copies of the book (Best of America Watermedia).  It looks beautiful.  Thanks for all of your hard work on it and thanks for including my paintings.  I am amazed at both the variety of art in these books and the constant high standard across all of the different mediums. These books are so exciting and vibrant.  Bravo. Best,

Matt Bialer


Just after I sent the message the postman arrived with a slip to say that they were waiting at the Post Office.  I have since picked them up (BOWW Oil) and they are very beautiful and I am extremely happy with the way that your Company has presented my work.  I will recommend your company to all my artistic friends and I would love to enter again and buy more books next time around!

Thank you!


Warm wishes from Lyndel Thomas, Australia

Evolving Artists

Featured Artists > Sylvia B.Ganancia (11)

Born into an artistic family, Sylvia B. Ganancia works alone, has her own particular style and lets her sensitivity guide her. Painter, sculptor, musician and always creative, even in her youth, she knew how to create her own visual vocabulary. A part of her artistic career can be analysed as a search between the abstract and the figurative. A surprising thing is that her paintings are not naive; on the contrary they contain a classical harmony and are enriched by private and personal ideas which create simple, moving images. Her work is a combination of dreams and reality. Her very personal technique is the result of constant evolution; she uses a mixture of techniques in her paintings which include varied elements such as leather, inlay and fabrics. These show us other dimensions, creating a subtle and attractive universe. This composition of materials is based on a subtly tinted chromatic scale. Her progress is charming, human and full of feminine sensitivity...Any culture may deeply affect her, and, in her work, the faces of women can be admired: she herself says “traditions perpetuate thanks to women”. In this way she uses her work to take us to the world of different cultures. With a rich interior life and ancestry, Sylvia is prepared to explore her own world. Each of her works is a reflection of her passion and memories of other times, a reflection of the archives of an eternal memory. Her work is as authentic as that sensitive world which she carries inside herself...life, love, tenderness, fervour, passion, contemplation....and the artist becomes a prophet.
