Christopher Johnson

Misty Brown

 I was born blind, and only began to see after surgery when I was a teenager, paid for by my local Shriner’s chapter.  I try to put in my work the painful experience of seeing color, light, and edges. It is so beautiful, but it hurts at the same time

Don Quackenbush

My 30+ year career has been as a “non-design architect”- technically oriented architect “—working to make the conceptual by others constructible, habitable and enjoyable by those who experience it. During many of these years I allowed my pragmatic side to overshadow the creative side of...

John Benjamin Pritchett

   I like my work to appear chaotic and unfinished, completely opposite of my humanness needing order. If a painting appears to have a sun and hills it is not so. It is my thought process and emotion hopefully devoid of a semblance to realism.

Pablo Romero

 My art is an extension of my inner emotions, personality, experience and soul.  Often, I will go for months without picking up a brush.  Nonetheless, I have found this time is not spent idle.  My mind is constantly gathering snippets of information sights, sounds, smells, emotions that are filed away...
