Natalya Romanovsky - Natalya Romanovsky grew up in Moldova, a country located between the Ukraine and Romania. As a child she knew she would be an artist, her talent was noticed by her teacher who told her mother, Give her brushes and paint and the child will know what to do. Romanovsky studied at Chisinau Art College, earning a degree in graphic design. She enjoyed art school and entered her field upon graduation working for a popular magazine. At the same time she contributed to a series of children's publications. However her heart was in painting, and despite a few shows around the city she became frustrated with the local art market. In 1993 Romanovsky immigrated to the US, joining her mother in Cleveland. Moving to America opened a whole new door for the curious and energetic artist. She found some initial support from a local gallery and began painting with a new enthusiasm.

Kyndall Potts - I loved to draw as a child but put away my sketchbook after college for a career and to raise a family. In 2020, after a complete hiatus from art of over thirty years, I began taking art classes online and at the Columbus Cultural Arts Center. The old passion returned. In 2022, I entered my first exhibition and had two paintings accepted, one winning an Ohio Arts Council Award. Since then, I have exhibited frequently in central Ohio. I paint primarily human faces, figures and animals using acrylic paint. My paintings often incorporate bold, unrealistic colors, texture, and gestural brushstrokes. Feeling, movement, and the love of color and light guide my work. I am fascinated by human beings and develop strong attachments to the people I paint. Although I’ve never met them, I often learn their stories as I work. I talk to them as they evolve on my canvas, and they tell me who they are. As a relatively new artist, I don't want to limit myself to one medium, subject or style but continue to experiment and evolve, experimenting with new mediums such as oil, pastel, collage, and encaustic.
