Editorial – Issue 78

Our cover embodies this perfectly: Marissa Oosterlee. Her art, intense, technical and profoundly human, reflects that search for truth that we value so deeply. Her portraits, often submerged in water, invite us to look beyond the surface. In every face she paints there is a calm that arrives after the storm, a reminder that beauty is not found in perfection but in the sincerity of the process.

Editorial – Issue 77

Each issue of The Guide Artists is the result of a commitment that goes far beyond publishing a magazine or a book. It reflects years of dedication, a sincere passion for figurative art, and a constant desire to offer artists a space that is dignified, transparent, and honest.

This month, however, invites us to reflect. Not on art itself, but on the attitudes that threaten its very essence: disrespect, envy, and the intent to damage what has been built with effort and love. It is disheartening to see that, in an environment that should be guided by sensitivity and mutual admiration, there are still those who choose to destroy rather than contribute.

The Surrender: The Journey from Casey Baugh to E.C. Baugh.

For 30 years, Eric Casey Baugh painted with surgical precision. His portraits—delicate, cinematic, almost impossibly real—earned him
a place among contemporary realism’s elite. But in the quiet of his Brooklyn studio, far from the Appalachian roots that first shaped him, the artist began to feel something stir. Not a restlessness—but a calling.
