A photograph makes the world stop for a minute to enjoy the beauty that was captured. My goal is to give the world as many of those moments as possible.

Everything I internalize, the experiences I have, the people in my life, my hopes and dreams, my faith are all reflected from heart, mind, and soul through the prism of my intuitive lenses resulting in artistic expressions. I attracted to my life a muse and divine inspiration to create vivid abstract expressions that tell a story, define my journey, and inspire me to embrace all that is good in my life.

Drawing has been a visual tool for me to express and understand thoughts, emotions, and the complexity of human experience since I was a kid. My art gives me an outlet to communicate a concept or feeling by taking out the constructs of language and personal bias. Growing up in the mid-’80s and ‘90s I surrounded myself with comics, graffiti, anime, DJ music culture, Sci-Fi, and fantasy. My art is a hybrid of these influences infused with social commentary.

The bright colors and the mixed emotions  in Jerry Rael's subjects  are represented with a quality that spells ghosts and they are intertwined in a world where one doesn't know which is real or which is fantasy.

My name is Jonathan Roberts and I'm a Veteran and local artist. Currently I'm working with acrylics and gouache after a 5 year pause in painting. With an itch that needed to be scratched I began painting my favorite TV and movie actors. I currently have 27 pieces for sale at the VFW.

Veteran 

As a Navy veteran and an artist of numerous trades, Jonhda Starling is versatile in many traditional media, such as oil paint, acrylics, inks and watercolors. Starling gives peculiar attention to the expressions of characters engaged in industrial and science fiction themed environments, or even the environment itself. These visual elements are often used to encourage healing and resolution from struggles originating from varied underlying symptoms of depression. This, in a way, can enable those who have difficulty finding purpose for their lives, as well as her own.

I make happy art. I’m pleased when people smile and chuckle after viewing my work. I love when children point and squeal.

Some art teachers will tell you “It isn’t art unless it’s saying something.”

I believe art is anything that makes you feel something.

I want the world to feel happy.
