Haley paints dark fantasy and myths, as well as nature and portraits. A lot of her inspiration comes from dreams, myths and legends she has read about. She was taught by her grandmother, a watercolorist, to use watercolors as a kid but her newest medium is skin as a tattoo artist./sf

So excited to be competing in this awesome event!!

Lenora's art is highly expressive and process based. She comes from a background of traditional oil painting and realism but has since discovered her love for the feel of painting, the textures, strokes, and the many different effects you can create by experimenting with materials in a non-traditional way./sf

Ryan's art is influenced by the land he grew up on and his indigenous heritage. He is is from the Cherokee and Choctaw nations of Oklahoma. The animals and plants which are sacred to his tribal stories and traditions are often the subject matter in his work./sf

Lisa Sutton chose to pursue art in 1990, graduating from the University of Michigan. 23 years later, after studying at the Austin Atelier under Edward Povey and working out of a studio at Fe29, she began the first of her collections of larger portraits. /sf

I love complicated systems. My paintings can have many stages of development. If my artwork were a Rube Goldberg device, I would love all the little parts and details.
So, making a twenty minute artwork is a huge challenge for me. It takes a willingness to accept what you've put on the canvas and keep knocking it out. There's a skill to saying something valuable while being that brief. I may fall flat on my face, but I'm going to have fun playing!

Ria brings out vibrant colors whenever she can.

Memo was inspired by his older cousin to get into graffiti. Memo likes journaling, poetry, graffiti and spray paint. Most importantly, he likes to mix them all together. He doesn't think about what he is doing but rather lets it happen in the moment.

I like poetry and writing. I like graffiti and spray paint. I like to put these together.
