Artist Yelitza Diaz demonstrates two bronze-colored nude figures standing on a narrow ledge. "My beautiful friends and partners have been the driving force behind this series of artworks," says Yelitza. She captures their time spent together, their shared experiences, and the fruits of their collaborations, playing a significant role in her work. Above all, her folks' unwavering support and encouragement fuel her creative process.

About the Artist
Artist Yelitza Diaz creates sculptural modernist wall pieces where she incorporates ceramic figures. Born in Venezuela, her life has been wrapped in the arts since childhood. She finished her degree at the Arturo Michelena School of Fine Arts, where she grew passionate about the human form. Yelitza devoted her time to her artistic practice and shared her skill as an art teacher in public institutions. She founded a gallery with her husband in her hometown but moved to the United States due to bureaucratic and economic matters. Since then, she has explored human existentialism and the political and social developments of her native country. "My artwork represents the search for peace and emotional balance that we all desire in life," shares Yelitza. She retains a workspace in Venezuela but mainly works at her studio in South Carolina, where she has complete freedom to develop her art. Yelitza’s work has been awarded and recognized by national and international juries. She has also proudly designed the town seal for her native municipality in Venezuela.

Artist Jennifer Ross presents a still life of a bird's nest on a light and airy background. The layered textures contrast the simplicity of the composition. She uses her eggshell collage technique on the eggs and sculpts the strands of the nest with an acrylic gel medium. "It's about starting to see life in an entirely new way," says Jennifer.

About the Artist
Artist Jennifer Ross creates intimate portraits of birds, nests and horses. Jennifer grew up surrounded by the art of her mother and grandfather. Her attempt to follow in their footsteps presented detours, however, and she ended up working in art galleries selling other's work. But her desire to paint continued to grow throughout the years. In 2008, a gift certificate to a local art store turned into a life-changing event. Jennifer found inspiration in a collection of antique prints...

Artist Yelitza Diaz presents a nude figure hanging from a wooden module. Part of her Climbers series depicting people ascending geometric wooden cutouts. Yelitza offers the piece with neutral colors and virgin wood for a minimalistic effect. Inspired by the moon, the carved circle overlaps with the base that interacts with each component.

About the Artist
Born in Venezuela, Yelitza Diaz;s life has been wrapped in the arts since childhood. She founded a gallery with her husband, who is also an artist, and was successful for many years until the crime and corruption in the local government became unbearable. They now live in South Carolina, where she makes art that explores human existentialism and the political and social developments of her native country. Her sculptures are made with ceramic techniques using a minimalist contemporary style. Fun fact: Yelitza designed the town seal for her native Municipio Falc;n in Venezuela.

Artist Guigen Zha presents a quadriptych of pink lotuses in varying positions and stages of growth. He creates an eye-catching contrast by realistically painting the flowers over the abstract gradient background. Guigen collages the subject to perfectly integrate the three expressive painting techniques into the composition. "It can also be hung separately as four individual pictures of the lotus," says Guigen.

Artist Patrick O'Boyle exhibits an abstract landscape using a vivid palette. "This painting is purely an abstract reference to places I have sketched on location," says Patrick. He paints with an acrylic wash establishing shapes, color & texture placement. Using collaged material creates interest and draws the viewer closer to the piece.

About the Artist
Patrick O'Boyle primarily paints in a studio, rarely using reference material other than his own thoughts and dreams. He always paints in a series of five - at the end of the fifth painting he revisits and reworks all of them until he feels they're complete. Using extra-long handles on his brushes, Patrick paints at a distance from the canvas so he can see the works evolve as a whole from the one color he starts with to the vibrant array at the end.

Unifying minimalist and modern styles, artist Yelitza Diaz builds a figurative sculpture of three figures settled on geometric pedestals. She manipulates the wooden elements to give it the roughness and apparent strength of metal. The first being climbs the block as the remaining two await sitting down. Yelitza's conceptual piece represents the human journey of spirituality and elevation of being.
