Muralists and Music
Artists - click picture for full screen view
Marsha Hierl - Watercolor cards and small pieces featuring an array of flowers. Also, handmade books of various sizes.
Shaun Kawalec - I work in a range of mediums from traditional painting, to markers and acrylics. My art often focuses on intricate design work with inspiration taken from ornamental design traditions and art history.
Samantha Martin - I am a mixed media artist that loves to work with vibrant colors! I love painting the night sky, landscapes, flowers and the intricacies of trees.
Leslie Newsome - My work is a visual collision of my musings on the human experience, words, and the natural world. I work primarily in collage and enjoy repurposing materials.
Marina Paul - This series is the meeting point of two creative processes: gardening and photography. One is slow and grounded in the earth; the other shaped by light, composition, and the timeless tradition of still life. Together, they celebrate the beauty in the seasonal, the homegrown, and the quietly powerful language of color.
