Chris Duncan paints such blazing and brilliant shapes of color amassed into circles, diamonds and starbursts. His inclusion of colorful dots shine like candy or crystals. Chris employs a wide variety of materials in his work, from photos to string to mirrors and light, all as a means to investigate perception and balance through repetition and reflection.

There are a million reasons to love artist Alexander Kori Girard. One being his radiant combinations of color mingling together to create irregular symmetrical patterns. I may find inspiration in his work for a future book cover or two!

I am in love with Mark Warren Jacques. If I could, I would have included all his work on my blog, so you have to promise to check out his tumblr. As a visual exploration of life’s little oddities Mark paints good vibes with bursts of colorful sun rays, vein-like trees against black spaces and endless oceans of mesmerizing waves.

I really enjoy these paintings from Ryan Stewart Nault. Perhaps it’s the unusual and quirky still life or the palette of natural tones with bursts of corals that I love.

Hollis Brown Thornton plays with memory and time by fragmenting nostalgic imagery. Hollis uses acrylic paints, markers and photo transfer to control the amount of visibility and degradation within each image, playing with how pop culture, world events and outdated technologies languish as time moves forward and memory fades.

In addition to her jewelry, Mimi offers these gorgeous hand woven wall hangings. She beautifully contrasts a thin warp with a bulbous weft; exposing the warp in some areas in addition to dimensional elements of fringe, tassels and strips of tree bark.
