Unlike much of the post-pandemic regional circuit, Allie Regan Dickerson’s work resists catharsis. It does not perform grief; it studies it. Her references to Martín Prechtel and the Mayan understanding of mourning as a form of praise provide the work with ethical ballast.

Website

My work is primarily sculptural glass that explores the material’s inherent fluid like properties when hot. I focus on creating organic forms rich with texture and undulating curves. These pieces are blown, sandblasted and acid etched.

Website

My style is abstract, fluid, free formed and filled with colors and life. Depending on the series, work is created with a watercolor or Posca (paint pen) foundation; with eyes closed. Beginning blindly allows for an inspired foundation. Subsequent layers are mixed media (crayons, paint pens, etc.)

Website

All original oils painted on canvas, linen, and Masonite.

Website

I build zero-waste, ethically made art to wear garments with an equal emphasis on design, comfort and utility. I source my fabrics from design house ends and deadstock from the textile industry. Obtaining fabrics in limited quantities and building the fabrics together results in one-of-a-kind garments. The challenge of designing within these restraints really pushes the creative process and supports my personal philosophy of sustainable and ethical practices.

This visual Artist & author uses a collection of materials such as glues, textures mediums and paint to create his unique images. Granted the opportunity of travel, his put his travel’s on canvas.

I use 12 different hand stones from Zimbabwe (Southern Africa) curved using different hand tools like point punches ,chisels and hammer, then propane to heat and apply wax for finishing.

Website

I hand build animal sculptures out of a groggy black clay or smooth white stoneware. I finish these sculptures with a combination of mid-fire glazes, paint, and waxes. I have recently started with bronzes cast via the lost wax method.

I create work that consistently refine my skill and inspire the natural formations of crystals and geodes. I use glass, sand, iridescent acrylic paint, dye and metal leaf to execute the detail of these natural gems. I break locally found slag glass to pieces to mimic the surface of the quartz.

Website

To draw and paint is my way of seeing. I am really slow, taking time to study the subtle color changes and structure of each bird or plant. A lifelike attitude and proper setting is important too. I hope to convey respect and wonder at the diversity and beauty of creation.

I am a glassblowing artist but I’m also a glassmaker/chemist. I have sourced my sand locally from the silica mine in Guion, AR. I try to make things that are different and unique. If I see a texture or pattern that I like in any glass medium I try and understand it to apply to my own work.

Website

I lay out the composition with photocopies of plants and other material, then interlace India ink, archival pens, and graphite with the imagery to build a multilayered strata. My aim is to achieve a complex weaving of line and form that resides on the brink of collapse. The substrate is cotton paper.

Website

My jewelry collection is inspired by my love of the natural world. Ancient fossils, gemstones, and found artifacts are used to create one of a kind statement pieces. Each piece is an example of hand forming and forging sterling silver, gold and bronze.

Website

I collect fossils, wildflowers, & botanicals I find while exploring the Ozarks to create one-of-a-kind molds for my textures. Each piece captures impressions of nature in silver, copper, or bronze. I then use traditional metalsmithing techniques to incorporate stones, making each focal piece unique.

Negative & positive space, perspective, & tonal gradients guide my work. I blend clean, straight lines with chaotic, organic elements to interrogate how opposing forces can coexist in harmony. I aim to create accessible, curious art that pushes viewers to consider various possible interpretations.

Creating these one of a kind pieces is the perfect combination of all the creative endeavors that I love…..I even throw a little paint in. I love searching for the vintage fabrics. I love “collaging” items together for the base cloth or ornamentation. The finished pieces evoke a feeling of memory.

My process involves starting with a loose underpainting that will serve as a jumping point for the painting’s beginning drawing. Using transparent red oxide and ultramarine blue, I will draw my composition while building darks. Thick, opaque paint will be used to build and finish the work.

Website

I layer acrylic, clay, fiber, graphite, and lace—real pearls and diamonds also in their place. With stones, glossy resin, too, I paint a world both rough and true. My work is on canvas or panel, a grounded base, each piece a story to embrace.

Website

Wood is my primary physical medium, and the tools I use range from sand paper to software. In each of these one of a kind sculptures I attempt to balance tactile attraction, perplexing juxtapositions, and delightful representations.

My art is about people, their lives, and their experiences. The intent of my work is to express an emotion, thought of a story or journey. My work becomes a mirror where the viewer is reflection, and at the same time speaks about my interpretation and perceptions. My master teacher and friend Qian shao Wu, would always tell me, ”The eye sees only what can be seen. The heart sees what is invisible. That is the way.”

Over the past 20 years of working in clay, I have grown to realize the importance of each piece being well-crafted.  That, as a functional potter, became my primary focus for years.  Along the way, I discovered that the inspiration for my finished work came from the earth- it’s processes, textures and color.

Website

I explore the endless variety of the human form through life drawing and use the energy of the human gesture to inform abstract watercolor paintings and printmaking.

My work relies on the curves and flowing lines introduced into wood, both exotic and domestic. Be it accomplished by steam bending, bent lamination or three dimensional assembly, these concepts allow viewers to introduce the thought of “What if”, into their own personal lives and vision.

Website

Each piece is drawn and designed by myself. Hardwood is then chosen depending on color and grain pattern. Individual pieces are then cut(my largest near 300 individual pieces), shaped by hand and then glued into place on a backer board. After final sanding the frame is cut, stained and mounted

Spending long hours trail running has allowed me to gain access to a meditative state where unrestricted thoughts occur, creative thought flows, and complex problem solving comes with ease. In this trance, I cannot separate myself from my surroundings. I am no longer a body, a form, but I become what I see. I am within the landscape, as if my own rhythm has pounded me into a new existence.
