Fire Escape II

Fire Escape IIDrawing on inspiration from the Northeast, I look for its familiarity in my travels throughout the world. Chris work looks effortless. We love the way he plays with the complexities of light and shadow as he captures moments in nature as well as in the urban environment. We love the intimacy of these smaller photographs: hang this one in an office or a smaller bedroom.["Photography"]["Chris d'Amore"]

Jen Sanders Acrylic and mixed media on canvas My mixed media and gestural forms reflect a period of personal perseverance I use my artistic practice as motivation to chase my dreams while simultaneously speaking to myself with compassion and understanding

Anitra Lavanhar Photography I have always been drawn to the urban and industrial landscapes in my home city of Tulsa Oklahoma

inviting the viewer into her layered world

My works are on paper like a book

allowing colors to bleed together and slowly bloom

Zifeng Zang Mixed Media on Canvas In this series of gestural floral paintings my curiosity was fueled by the vibrant colors and forms of Henri Matisse embracing freedom and inviting viewers to feel nature s dynamic energy

Will the story be something comforting and familiar to come back to or will the image be a portal to new stories and associations

["Works on Paper"]["Janna Luttrell"]

This canvas packs a punch: hang this front and center for maximum effect
