In her own words "Along with a varied and wide-ranging palette of joy-inducing colors and styles of mark-making, many of my eggshell paintings also include gold leaf “cracks.” I’ve always loved the Japanese art of kintsugi wherein broken pottery is repaired with gold and rather than trying to disguise the break or flaw, it is highlighted and therefore elevated to a status of beauty. Its age is celebrated, its history is seen, its flaws are revered. I think this is a great way to think about ourselves, others and our relationships as we age - not to try to look like our former, younger selves but to embrace our “breaks and flaws” and to honor them and see the beauty in them"  Click here to learn more about Elisa and see what works she has available.

 Described by poet and art critic John Ashberry as “dazzling explosions of the variable life around us that need only to be looked at in order to spring into being,” Hunt's work is both whimsical and elegant. In his own words "His work tends to embrace the ephemeral beauty of nature, a characteristic that brings a nurturing, spiritual effect to his painting suggesting metamorphosis, repose, and a sensation of touching the illimitable."

Kit Porter is an incredible artist from South Carolina.

Kristen is a Colorado artist who is is known for her use of texture and layering to create a sense of time passing in her work. In her own words "Because our lives are loud, Kristen wants her work to feel like a small pause. A deep breath. Not one more thing adding to the noise, but a reminder to slow and notice the depth and interest in quiet moments. Beauty may very well be dazzling. But it also can be still and small—just a hint at what is to come.Click here to learn more about Kristen and see her available works.
