Description: I was born in Knox, Indiana, on September 28, 1980. I traveled a lot with my family when I was younger, and ended up here. I have been painting and drawing all my life. When I was about seven years old I started to draw nudes of women and men. My sister told my parents what I was doing and they decided I should take up stamp collecting (the result of which is still in my closet gathering dust). I learned my visual fundamentals and then some at Miami University from 2001- 2005. I then decided to stay home with my son, Arius Blue Collier who was born November 11, 2002. I’ve always painted and drawn so I kept on going. I decided to sell my artwork and have been in shows and sold privately ever since.

Description:American Artist Kris Allen Courtney, author of Norma Jean’s Sun.
With a lifelong artistic curiosity, my work generates from memories or images that move me and allow freedom of spirit. What becomes of the result, expressed in fine arts genre of Primitive Literalism, is another entity all to itself. My hope is that the viewer can pause long enough to enjoy the view.
Norma Jean’s Sun, is an artistic true story memoire autobiography writing that I have carried for many years in both experience and thought. The story is not only convincingly true, but will rivet the reader with its genuine and unassuming pathos. Based on a true story, the author’s unapologetic prose prompts enduring ethical questions.
Literature expresses itself by abstractions, whereas painting, by means of drawing and color, gives concrete shape to sensations and perceptions.

Statement: In July of 2006, Linda Doss began a journey of following her own creative spirit that had been begging to be explored. Linda went back into metalsmithing and enameling. She took a class in quilting and fused glass and then became fascinated with lampwork beads, which created an explosion of creative energy! Working with the beads opened up an blast of ideas, patterns and designs for metals, quilts and enamelware. “ I began to see the extraordinary in the ordinary.” Linda said. “Long walks inspired ideas for new creations. I was seeing the world, my journey and connections with others in a whole new light. My world had been illuminated!”

Description:I repaint photocopies, even photocopies of photocopies. I like the irony of painting trees using them, referring to them. My images reflect dual interests in photography and painting. At times, they are revelations of emotional states. More frequently, they are the result of deliberations regarding the endeavor of painting itself—painting in the age of mechanical reproduction. The photograph is the basis for these images; it reflects a conceptual, as well as a physical distance from the subject matter, as we tend to experience the outdoors vicariously through the filter of media. Derived from photographs of trees, found in publication, and digitally manipulated, I enlarge these images emphasizing the dot-matrix. This is the basis for the final painting; the photographic image is repainted. The pixel dictates the brush mark; the color and light are invented. In keeping with these tensions, I investigate cool/warm, high key/low key contrasts. The result is that the final image is partially photographic, partially hand-rendered, and almost always pixilated--the photograph is translated into paint. The hand of the artist is subject to the mechanics of the photographic process. The photographic image is recreated and transformed by hand.

Description: A no. 2 pencil was my favorite childhood companion. With that pencil I created worlds. Later, drawing, painting and sculpture took me around the world, as an artist in Hawaii
and more recently, New Mexico.
I have returned to Ohio with a mature sense of who I am as an artist and what I want to convey about our world. My current work is abstract photography that highlights our surroundings.
Worlds of form, texture, and color exist if we only have the eyes to see. I use the camera to lift an image out of context, concept and materialization. Magnification reveals the complexities of the simplest composition.

Statement: Comic books aren't just for kids. Many artists use the comic book format to tell their life stories, sharing with the reader wisdom, kinship, and humor about the human experience. Combining drawings with words allows the artist to show and tell how an experience looked and felt from the first-person point of view, like a handwritten letter in the artist's own hand.
