Gum Kids
By Leslie Thrasher
Located in New Orleans, LA
Two young children play an ill-advised game of gum stretching on the family couch in this charming composition by famed American illustrator, Leslie Thrasher. Painted towards the start of the Great Depression, Thrasher provided light-hearted images of the lives of everyday people to distract Americans from their troubles. These images appeared on the covers of Liberty Magazine, for whom he produced one cover illustration a week for six consecutive years.
Born in 1889 in Piedmont, West Virginia, Thrasher studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts as a teenager and received a scholarship to study art abroad in Paris. Upon his return, he began studying under Howard Pyle, known as the “father of American illustration.” Thrasher sold his first cover illustration to the Saturday Evening Post in 1912, four years before Norman Rockwell’s first Post cover, and he would go on to produce over 360 magazine covers throughout his career. He painted humorous, relatable scenes of life in America with colorful characters set against white backgrounds. He was also a successful commercial artist, painting advertisements for Cream of Wheat, Chesterfield Cigarettes...

The Archer
Located in New Orleans, LA
Ginger Williams Cook is a painter, published illustrator, and arts educator based in Jackson, MS. Her paintings have been featured in numerous exhibitions, publications, and media. Ginger's journey into motherhood and coping through art is featured in an HBO Documentary, The Dead Mothers Club. Her painting comparing phantom limb sensation to grief was selected as the documentary's featured poster.
She is an avid sketchbook artist who cultivates an intuitive drawing practice to document the mundane. Ginger uses digital illustration to develop mockups, experimenting with imagery, color palettes, and composition. The techniques in her artwork combine washes of acrylic paint that take shape with colored pencils and pastels, serving as a visual conversation between two hemispheres - the creator and the corrector dancing through a changing process. The common thread in her work is emotional attachment to physical objects, and the power nostalgia has to unlock a memory.
The artist says of her work...

LIFT THE SOUL
By Starsky Brines
Located in New Orleans, LA
STARSKY BRINE’s paintings and drawings captivate audiences with their distinctive style and a recurring theme, the search for the nature of humanity. In his bold works, the artist focuses on characters that are built from a combination of anthropomorphic and zoomorphic features, as well as the appropriation of elements from comics and toys from his childhood.
On the one hand, these characters distort reality to venture into an environment of subcultures and urbanism created by the spontaneous intuition of his strokes and the appropriation of the contemporary iconography. On the other hand, they move within the realm of fantasy. In particular, the animals paired with their human characters evoke associations with fairy tales or comics. They are reminiscent of the world of theatre, in which fantasy and poetry but also comedy often serve as catalysts for the creation of critical meaning.
With his works, Brines often questions the interplay of good and evil against the background of the worldwide socio-political climate. Yet Brines does not interpret his themes as ‘black and white.’ They are complex and nonlinear, with charming disruptions, quite serious and yet full of humor.
Brines is personally influenced by his mother and art historically influenced by Latin American figurative art, the German Neoexpressionism, the Italian Transavantgarde, and the COBRA group. His works oscillate between figuration and abstraction. Brines holds a degree in Fine Art from the Instituto Universitario de Estudios Superiores de Artes Plásticas Armando Reverón...

TRENITY THOMAS is a self-taught photographer who has also experimented with painting and sketching since grade school. As a photographer, he has worked in a myriad of genres including fashion, lifestyle, editorial, conceptual, sports, portraiture, and nightlife photography. As a photographer, Trenity uses his camera to capture the life and composition of still life around him. His photographs have a warmth to them that pulls the viewer into the scene as if they were present - a feature that has become characteristic of his photographic style.
Trenity Thomas has been in various juried exhibitions, most recently, JONATHAN FERRARA GALLERY's 24th Annual NO DEAD ARTISTS International Juried Exhibition of Contemporary Art and the Louisiana Contemporary juried exhibition presented by The Helis Foundation at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Alexander Stolin, born and raised in Kiev, Ukraine (under the former Soviet Socialist Republic),
where he received intensive training and a master of fine arts degree in his homeland’s
traditional art academies. He immigrated to San Francisco in 1992, met his future wife in
Hattiesburg, Mississippi, then married and settled in New Orleans. He maintains a home and
studio in Madisonville, Louisiana, and is a significant but understated figure in the New Orleans
art community. As art critic D. Eric Bookhardt suggested in 2002, “Stolin is more accomplished
than he is famous.” His art, often exhibited in thematic series that incorporate a variety of media,
ranges from intimate portraits to large-scale murals (one measuring twelve feet by seventy-two
feet). He has worked on a progressively larger scale, most recently designing and painting
projects for the Louisiana film industry. Stolin’s technically proficient and complexly layered art
reflects a unique fusion of the academic training he received in Kiev and his evolving response
to the very different culture, lifestyle, and subject matter he has discovered in New Orleans,
Madisonville, and the Gulf South.
Stolin was born on August 30, 1963. His art abilities were quickly recognized when in fourth
grade he qualified for admission to the State School of Art in Kiev, which he attended from 1975
to 1981. He decided to concentrate on book illustration and graphic arts, and after graduating he
was accepted into the Ivan Fedorov Polygraphic Institute in Moscow, where he studied from
1982 to 1988, graduating with a master of fine arts degree in 1988. He trained as a printmaker,
creating etchings and lithographs, and as a graphic designer, and worked as a designer in Kiev.
“I illustrated mysteries, science fiction, and different magazines,” he said. In 1988, after his
family visited relatives in San Francisco, California, the Stolins decided to immigrate to the
United States, a process that took four years. In 1992, Stolin and his parents immigrated to San
Francisco, and he worked for graphic design and print businesses in nearby Emeryville,
California. During a trip to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, where he was visiting cousins, Stolin met
Mary Kay Holmes. The couple soon married and moved to New Orleans, where Stolin
established himself as a working artist and began to exhibit in local galleries and group
exhibitions.
The art Stolin began to create in New Orleans demonstrated his technical skills, knowledge of
art history, and the evolving range of his subject matter, reflected from one series and exhibition
to the next, yet it was challenging for critics to classify his work. This was evident in the series
Stolin exhibited during his first decade in the city, beginning with Byzantium on the Bayou
(1993–1994), which combined historical Byzantine art references with New Orleans and Mardi
Gras subjects, such as Mardi Gras Madonna and Adoration of St. Gator. In his Midnight Dessert
series (1995–1997), he created works such as Tea in Manhattan and Rembrandt and Nathan, a
large painting that Bookhardt described as “a vision of Rembrandt and various Dutch masters
promenading down the sidewalk past Nathan’s Deli in New York.” Following that, he completed
The Water Series (1998–1999), featuring reflective and heavily worked surfaces in paintings
such as Reflections #2 and Study of Fish and Swimmers.
Stolin’s Face to Face series of portraits, completed from 2000 to 2002, featured New Orleans
artists including Douglas Bourgeois...

Mr. Tole’s career includes shows in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, and Miami. His work has been reviewed in Art Forum International...
