Justin Collamore/Columbus, OH - I am fascinated by the interaction of architecture with the natural environment. I use my training in Architecture and Landscape Architecture to explore this connection in my profession as well as my paintings. I spent my childhood in rural northwest Ohio which gave me a deep respect for picturesque barns and farms found throughout the state, but I am also intrigued by urban and even industrial locations and the edges and transitions between these types of environments. Most of my work is completed ‘en plein air’ which creates the additional challenges and excitement of quickly changing light, weather, and varied physical environments. I travel all over the US and Europe participating in plein air painting competitions. I am a member of the Worthington Art League, Central Ohio Plein Air and President of the Ohio Plein Air Society.

Moon Evans/Pataskala, OH - Moon Evans was born in Shanghai, China, raised in Tokyo, Japan, and moved to the United States in 2004. She decided to pursue art at the age of four when her art teacher recognized her talent, a moment that would shape her creative journey. Over the years, Moon discovered that art is more about dedication and endurance - a philosophy that fuels her passion. Moon explored various mediums but ultimately found her calling in oil painting. Through the layering technique, she expresses the complex beauty of color and the soft emotions that reside within her work. Each painting becomes a conversation - a sincere exchange that reflects her commitment to the process and her art.
