Brandi PersuttiThis series is an illustrative collection of spiritual self- evaluation, growth, & the emotional comforts that have surrounded the more darker impulses & feelings that have accompanied me the past few months. Feeling more present with my own divine feminine, i’ve been learning to connect with the world around me with a more nurturing soul. I hope to bring comfort in the chaotic , and intertwine beauty in both.

Christy GuercioBIOThis is a layering process of beer and spray paint, on hot press watercolor paper. I use the beer that dries with the spray paint to create an abstract background and then I use an image and use acrylic paint to blend it into that background. The beer is uncontrolled and always different with each poured layer.

Daniela RzepnickiBIOHi there, I am a multimedia artist that works predominantly with glass and Ceramic. This art work is inspired by the common female experience of having toxic female friends. Many of us have been both victim and antagonist in these dynamics. I think many of us will be able to see ourselves in both forms.

Lindsey Erin LunaBIOMultimedia artist Lindsey Erin Luna’s imagery is birthed from a deep calling to reintegrate mythos into modern culture. By pulling from ancient mythology, archetypal energies, the world of symbol, + religious imagery, Luna weaves together dismembered parts to invoke a new sense of wholeness. A rewriting of story takes place, and invites a refreshing perception of aspects of the human experience that have been outcast to the realm of shadow.
Luna lives and works in Saugerties, NY. She studied fine art at State University of New York at New Paltz, where she received her BFA in Photography, graduating in 2011. She creates with a multimedia approach. Her visions are manifest through drawing, painting, photography, video, floral sculpture, video projection mixed with dance, and shadow play. |
