O’Fallon, MO based artist, Christina Hummer, has been honing her skills as a mural painter since 2009 when she launched her company Sweet Dream Murals LLC.

Heather Sundquist Hall is an artist based in Smithville, Texas. Her work is heavily influenced by  narratives, nostalgia and details. 

Heather’s illustrations have become pieces of her own stories whose purpose is to preserve memories like souvenirs.

Much of Heather’s focus is on the details. It’s the subtle floral pattern on a curtain, or the kind of plaid a certain couch was that she sat on in November of 1986 that she is most attracted to explore. 

Heather’s work is also an attempt to honor the past, either by way of exploring it's authentic parts or through her own interpretations.

Although Heather’s work illustrates her personal stories, it is her hope that when making and sharing art, that she can create a connection with the person looking at it, inviting them to pause for a quiet moment, to feel even just the smallest pull on their heartstrings. Heather hopes to help them recall their own narratives, the stories that have helped to shape them and the ones that they live by.

Based in Memphis, Katherine's current work is inspired by the variety of forms found on daily walks: the foliage, a glimpse into a neighbor’s back garden, and the leafy shadows cast on the pavement. She is drawn to the delicate appearance, implicit strength, and patient and confident growth of plant life.

In addition to my website, her work can be purchased through Juniper Print Shop and Artfully Walls.

"No one medium or concept defines James “Capt.” Stovall’s artistic practice. He flows seamlessly from larger-than-life murals to intimate doodles and off-the-cuff musings, to text-based works with cadences that beg to be read aloud. Regardless of the form his work takes, there seems to be a constant tension between the figurative and the abstract, the flat and the unfolding, the whimsical and the grotesque, the primal and the evolved (...or evolving), the child and the man.

As one half of LZY GENiUS (an artist collaboration with his brother), Capt. James hails from Henderson, Nevada but describes himself as a "Pasadena kid," graduating from Pasadena High School in 2004. He is a close friend and collaborator of artist Frances Berry, and his work can be viewed at https://www.instagram.com/capt4sale/.

Untrained and schooled only by museums and the Friday New York Times, Michael started painting and collaging and building with whatever he could find. He loved 90’s bands like Guided By Voices and Sebadoh that made music in the bedroom or garage without fancy equipment—low fidelity but still fantastic and beautiful. Lo-Fi. Signing his name to something when he wasn’t a “real” artist seemed presumptuous and weird. He decided to just use Lo-Fi because that’s the way his work is made.
