I have been intrigued for some time with the idea of alternate realities. My abstract paintings explore depictions of energy manifesting into various forms. Three-dimensional pieces include found and re-purposed items with interesting textures and shapes

Biography:
V. Leigh Carr is a mixed-media artist and oil-pastelist living with her husband and daughter in a wooded corner of the Ozarks, just south of Joplin, Missouri.
She typically works in series related in medium or subject matter, drawing inspiration from her vivid dreams, her faith, and natural surroundings.
Artist Statement
"I walk a line between presenting ordinary things in a fantastic way, and making the unreal seem tangibly possible.
Curiosity and the concept of changing perspective inspire me, whether seeing something everyday literally from a different angle, or catching a glimpse of what it's like to be in someone else's shoes. These things keep us young at heart, invite us to be in the moment, and open up possibilities in our minds."
My work is an exploration of the sacred. I gravitate to earth-based spirituality and ecofeminism. I primarily work in watercolor, ink, and other water-based media, often utilizing subject matter that embodies the transitory complexity of nature, the duality of growth and decay, and the connection between women and the natural world. The symbolism and content in my work are heavily informed by motherhood, my religious upbringing, and immersive spiritual experiences. Through my art practice, I seek to manifest an alternative way of thinking about the power structures within which we live. I hope to contribute to the shifting of common social paradigms by challenging institutions and ideas that provide the script for our widely embraced, unexamined, and often destructive belief systems.
Bio - Liz Darling is a visual artist from Kansas. Deliberate and intricate, Darling uses watercolor, ink, and other water-based media to create cosmic, organic compositions that often center on themes of spirituality, transience, the divine feminine, and the natural world.

Born and raised in Joplin, Nancy has been a part of the changes from the 50's era of Joplin to present day. Her love for the landmarks that immortalize this beautiful city are captured on canvas for generations to enjoy.

I have loved art since I was a small child. As far back as I can remember, I was always doing something “artsy”. Over the years, I have enjoyed many different mediums, including: Calligraphy, quilt making and fabric arts, repurposing furniture, mixed media and recently, painting. My style comes from the “little girl within me and my goal is simply to make people happy! If my artwork makes you smile, then I’ve succeeded in what I set out to do!

My works are meditations on the question of ruin or redemption presented by derelict architecture, and the cyclical transience evident in all living entities, whether flora, fauna, or human form.

Shari paints with an impressionistic palette and uses heavy texturing and dramatic colors. She loves the depth and uniqueness the texture gives. Her presentations range from abstract to realism. Favorite creations are mixed media on hard boards to include crackle paste and bark paper. Shari prefers palette knife and hand painting techniques to create “one of a kind” artworks.

I am currently working out of Art Forms Gallery in Pittsburg Kansas
I started painting at the end of 2019. This is a new journey for me and one that I have looked forward to for many years. I see where the culmination of life experiences has given me the knowledge and expertise that I need for this venture. I love learning new things and sharing with others what I have learned. I want to create art that will bring joy to those who ponder the paintings. I would like to also make pieces that cause people to think. For me art has been a good therapy, one that brings me great joy.
Artist statement:
I am Misty White of White Mist Creative Studios, and my art is a place where paint meets Holy Spirit, becomes fluid and an expression of a deeper life. Pouring out the heart of God onto canvas and other surfaces through acrylic pouring and other mediums, creating with all my essence and encouraging others to encounter the kingdom of God through the arts is a passion of mine.
