Using animals in my narrative installations allows me to focus on ideas without the baggage and tradition of the human figure.

Featured Artist Kelly Thiel

Since my artwork is mostly narrative, I will often journal onto my pieces, or carve in a word that helps express the concept.

Your “Aha Moment”

The “Aha” moment. That moment of clarity. A sudden realization, a point where everything clicks. It may change your life.

Featured Artist Adriana Christianson

When my family was quite young, it was tricky to pursue my work, and I would refer to the need to make as a drum beating inside me.

Why I Closed My Studio

Art careers and studios eventually come to an end. Here’s why I got out of the business, and what happened next.

Featured Artist Denise Greenwood Loveless

My work is sculptural, with emphasis on faces & figures. I have come to resent the image, or idea, that Hollywood has tried to sell us, that “normal” equates to beautiful, to ‘perfect’. I grew up with a brother who has cerebral palsy, a learning disability, & he is deaf. He has taught me invaluable life lessons, as a big brother should. I do believe “normal” is different for those of us who grew up with a handicapped sibling or other disabled family member. Who gets to decide?
