Kate Morgan - Multi-award winning mixed media artist Kate Morgan has displayed work from Washington, D.C to Minneapolis with work hanging in domestic and European private collections. Frustrated at the digital photography world for not being tactile enough, she turned to mixed media. Morgan is inspired by folklore, mythology & the human form. Layers of collage are mixed with her ink washed drawings to address symbolic, cultural, historical & spiritual themes with purposeful vagueness, allowing them to be familiar to a variety of audiences. Visually described as a haunting interpretation of anatomy where divinity meets mythic lore. ”I want my work to be the beginning of a dialogue, not a confrontation." Though she works in mixed media now, Morgan earned her B.F.A in commercial photography from Columbus College of Art and Design. Born in Syracuse, NY & raised in Columbus, OH she is also versed in printmaking & ceramics. Kate has been living her dream as a full time artist since 2012 by traveling the Country showing her work while maintaining a studio in Columbus, Ohio.

Robert Coomer - Robert Coomer is an internationally recognized, award winning photographer who grew up on a farm in Brown County, Ohio. Art has always been a part of his life and in 1994 he graduated with a BS degree in Graphic Design from the University of Cincinnati College of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning. He draws from his farm roots to shoot images of backyard wildlife, old barns, farmscapes, and scenic landscapes in Southwestern Ohio and Eastern Kentucky. His work is an exploration of light and subject, and discovering beauty in unexpected places. I find beauty in age and decay, and then reproduce it in a way that maintains a sense of time and place. To do this, I use distressed steel as the basis of my pieces. It can take up to 3 months to build up the rust and patina patterns on each piece of steel and then up to 12 hours of surface work to strip and reveal the damage done. Once I have my surface, the image is printed to the metal with various techniques, and then float mounted on stained wood using distressed bolts that maintain the aged and worn appearance. Through this process I am able to create an emotional connection to the image, and produce a piece authentic enough to look as though it had been stolen from the scene and presented to the viewer as an artifact on display. The work is modern and industrial, but is equally at home among antiques and more traditional settings.

Dana Grubbe - My art reflects my experiences as an adult and as a child. I've been based in Ohio for a great part of my life and I love to travel. My fascination with landscapes and alternate worlds comes from both my travels and the diverse communities where I've lived such as: the Appalachian hills (WV & PA), the Sonoran Desert (AZ), the east coast (NJ), and India. I was a late bloomer - late to finish college, late to start a career and, when I retired, late to start at the Columbus College of Art and Design (CCAD). I don't think they offered art classes in my public schools and perhaps one of the best 'perks' that came with my AT&T Bell Labs ID was free admission to almost every museum in NYC. It took a few years before I was wondering "how hard can it be to make this ..." and that was my first step toward becoming a painter. Driven by my love of process as much as by my love of color and texture, I'm in my studio every day.

Marianne Philip - As a self-taught artist, I let my creativity flow, trying not to have any preconceived ideas about the end result. This allows the details of my artwork to be raw and unfiltered. Growing up on Long Island, NY, I am inspired by the essence of the ocean. Moving to other places like Ohio, my artwork takes a journey exploring landscapes and nature in a variety of elements. From the darkness in the shadows to the highlights in natural light elements, each stroke of color leads me towards unforeseen destinations. Art is my refuge where I can embrace spontaneity yet capture my sense of discovery and vitality. I aspire for others to experience similar feelings, immersing themselves in the depicted settings of each artwork.

He studied product design at the University of Cincinnati and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design. "My paintings are a personal record of places that inspire me. My works are expressive landscapes that challenge the viewer to stop, enjoy and wonder. I use color and contrast to evoke a feeling from the viewer: the misty stillness of a long-ago battlefield, the beauty of a sunrise or sunset, the mystical serenity of the deep woods or winding highway".

MahLeah Cochran - I feel things deeply; I often ponder the state of humanity, the struggles of our world and the outlook for our collective future. My art is an expression of my emotions, thoughts and passions. I express myself outwardly on canvas in color and texture. This is deeply gratifying for me as it allows me to share with others, my innermost feelings. I choose to use acrylic paints for its quick drying time. This enables me to create layers on canvas. This helps me demonstrate complexity. I use everyday kitchen items, recycled cardboard and many other tools to create original forms and textures in my art. I enjoy the journey of painting new pieces. There is a thrill of discovering what my work will yield next. It's what keeps me engaged. I paint to inspire, challenge, and calm the soul.

Priya Rama - I experience. Then, I paint. My art, like my life, revolves around my chronic migraines. Everything that I do follows the ebb, flow and crest of wellness. When a migraine comes on, even with my eyes closed, I "see" things. Colors and shapes flood my mind in fluid poetry. These mystical images recede, shift, radiate and pulse, becoming more vibrant and vivid with every capture! Frequently, I paint through a migraine, trying to quickly tap into what I see. When I can’t, I’m able to recall the imagery at a later time, and commit that to canvas. My work is a constant search to best represent the three and often four dimensional images of my mind onto a two dimensional, flat surface. Each piece I create evolves from a meditative and introspective process, wherein I become one with my art: It is being aware in that moment, being mindful, acknowledging the pain and chaos, and losing myself to the visual symphony that unfolds. Some notes are peaceful while others discordant. I've trained myself to paint through the pain and discomfort: my breathing slows down, my jaw unclenches, and my body slowly begins to relax. Often, completing a painting acts as a release, and reminds me that my mind can do more than just process pain: It can transform pain into beauty.

Evangelia Philippidis - Since the time of Homer, the Greeks have been master storytellers. They created images in the listeners’ mind and depicted them on classical pottery. In the best tradition of her ancestors, Evangelia is a storyteller as well. Her stories are not only about mythical heroes and Olympian gods, they also depict modern man. As an editorial features illustrator for The Columbus Dispatch, she spent 22 years presenting visual stories of humanity and hubris, technology and spirituality, passion and pathos. As an avid reader of history, poetry, classical works of fiction and nonfiction she finds much inspiration in the written word. Through images that reflect both her Greek heritage and modern influences, Evangelia invites viewers to be moved, amused or provoked, or simply stop and reflect. Evangelia’s work celebrates two passions, nature and dynamic women. For the Ancient Greeks nature and mankind were intricately bound. Many of their myths stress the need for humans to treat nature with respect and humility. Born and raised in the shadow of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, she follows the ancient traditions of her ancestors. In nature’s simplicity she finds order, whimsy, joy and an assurance of life’s continuance in the never-ending cycles of day and night, season to season, and the steady ebb and flow of life and death from year to year. Raised among powerful women who had endured war, loss of country, home, husbands and children; women who fought against injustice and held their families together through two world wars, civil war and famine, yet through their sorrows and tribulations they maintained strength of spirit and an attitude that they would overcome and persevere.  These women have inspired Evangelia to give a visual voice to female spirts long silenced in history and in modern times. In a career which spans over 40 years she has been an award-winning editorial illustrator working with major national newspapers, book cover illustrator for Yale University Press and Penguin classics and other international publishing houses; she’s been an educator at the Columbus College of Art and Design as well as a nationally recognized fine artist.

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.

Adam Kolp - Coming to terms with the fact that I was losing my eyesight was actually when I first began to see the world much more clearly. We often spend our days over scheduled with things to do and places to be. Consumed by brief memories of what something was or the thought of what it could have been, we then quickly move on to the next pressing moment. We can easily get caught up living in this rapid paced blur, and unknowingly are missing out on the incredible beauty that surrounds us in any given moment. I realize that losing my eyesight was a wake up call. I needed to take the time to see the world we live in. It is such a beautiful and inspiring gift to have the opportunity to slow down and appreciate every moment and each amazing experience. This was the turning point for who I am now and the artist that I have become.

Laura Jacob - Laura Jacob is an Ohio native, Mixed Media and Encaustic artist with a BFA from BGSU. She also works as an art consultant. Much of her inspiration comes from the beauty she finds in nature. She is intrigued by art that displays the process beneath the finished product. To her the process of making art is just as important as the outcome. She uses materials that speak to her on a visceral level and then discovers interesting ways to incorporate them into her art. Combining encaustics and mixed media is a natural choice for her because those mediums lend themselves to experimentation and exploration. Laura’s goal in creating art is to find a link between ordinary life and the bits of magic that can be found in it. Through exploring nature in her art, she seeks to create pieces with an ethereal and atmospheric feel.
