Rex Adams

Visual Arts: Photography

I love the suddenness of photography – the immediate relationship between the eye and the shutter, the serendipity of being outside in nature searching for glorious moments and getting them inside my camera.

Natalia Andreeva emerged as an artist from the rich and fertile artistic climate of Novosibirsk, in Siberia after graduating from it’s most prestigious art college. During her classical education in the canons of European art she was greatly influenced by eastern philosophy. Consequentially, Natalia’s work is a harmonious marriage between spontaneous expressions and classical realism. Among Natalia’s favorite themes are exquisite landscapes, depicting the subtlety of nature, still life, where vibrant shapes and internal dynamics are shown in contrast to the commonplace subjects, and finally, figures and portraits brimming with humanity, and giving testament to the beauty and harmony of the human condition.

Amanda Boekhout

Teaching Artist/Instructor: Private Lessons for Adults; Visual Arts: Mixed Media, Murals, Painting, Performance Art, Printmaking, Sculpture, Textiles, Visual Arts Instructor, Works on paper; workshops featuring art and yoga.

My name is Amanda Boekhout and I am an artist and mama living in Tallahassee, Florida. My partner, two children, cat, pup, and I live in a cozy home in the beautiful northern Florida Capitol city. Surrounded by giant live oaks and pines, swaying moss, singing birds, and chattery squirrels; the days are bright and breezy and the nights are warm and humid. Inspired by my time living in Florida and North Carolina as well as extensive travel across North America and Europe, I am in awe of the immense beauty of this planet and the creatures and creativity that encompass it. Being raised by a hard working moon worshiping mama and a cabinet making craftsman father, I learned to appreciate the magic of nature, the importance of learning and excelling at your craft, working efficiently, and relaxing and traveling often. I received my MFA from Florida State and also taught visual art as an adjunct instructor there for 6 years. I spend much of my time rearing my two young children and practicing yoga. I thrive in the art studio and truly appreciate the time I get to create is solace. My work is an offering for the divine feminine. I strive to experience balance of masculine and feminine in the world. My artwork is my contribution to this goal. Namaste.

Matthew Forrest

Graphic Arts; Media Arts; Multi Arts; Visual Arts: Graphic Arts, Illustration, Media and Visual Communications, Mixed Media, Murals, New Media/Technology, Painting, Performance Art, Printmaking, Sculpture, Works on paper

I am a multidisciplinary artist. My art can take the form of painting, printmaking, collage, drawing, digital illustration, and animation; it often combines mediums. My style is heavily influenced by pop art, psychedelia, and my background in graphic design. Much of my work utilizes recognizable pop culture icons to create a visually appealing image and an instant connection to the viewer. It is also not uncommon to find rainbows, stars, flowers, and other nods to the psychedelic experience or preternatural. Themes common to my work include pop culture, flawed heroes, substance abuse, greed, violence, trauma, death, and healing. I know that art cannot cure all of the world’s problems, but I think it is important to make an effort, so I hope that by engaging with my art, the viewer will question their own relationships with these subjects. Although there are myriad issues that can be addressed through art, I have chosen these concepts for their relevance to my own life experiences.

Ivy Frankenfield

I am a self-proclaimed “potter-for-life” that also likes to dabble in other mediums such as watercolor and printmaking. A majority of my artwork is inspired by nature and my surroundings and is sometimes laced with deeper meanings not always apparent to the viewer’s eye.

Jaliah Gilcrease

Visual Arts: Crafts, Illustration, Painting, Printmaking, Visual Arts Instructor, Works on paper

I have always been a creative individual, but what started as a creative outlet and way for me to provide loved ones with gifts for special occasions has recently blossomed into a new business venture that I never would have imagined. I studied biology in undergrad because it was “safe”, but now I’m focusing on going after what I love, which is painting! I am at the point now in my artistic ability where I just have to do and go for what feels good and not worry about the judgement of others in my artwork. I have even expanded to offering paint and sip classes periodically.

Channing Gray

Visual Arts: Illustration, Mixed Media, Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture, Works on paper; drawing, installation

The work I make is about a state of internal between where it’s referenced to the external experience. To express this concept, I use cosmic and atmospheric forms to create a boundless landscape that is vast and occupied by individuals. My focus is drawing but I also use other forms of material to expand and curate spaces for subjects to be enmeshed within the psychological plain. I find the intent of my practice to be this sense of longing, to find connections with others through a semblance of memory. In my youth, I experienced living in a split home where I felt that I was two separate existences so I use this sense duality to give viewers a look into the state of a vacillating mind. For such lives are vastly different and yet specific experiences are what could connect individuals together. -Channing Gray, b.1994 lives in central Florida and has earned a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art from the University of Central Florida in 2017. She is currently obtaining a Masters of Fine Art in Studio Art in 2020 at the Florida State University.

Rachel Elspeth Gross

Literary Arts; Multi Arts; Visual Arts: Constructions/Collage, Crafts, Film, Functional and/or Decorative, Illustration, Jewelry, Mixed Media, Painting, Textiles

I love patterns. Patterns inspire systems of sequence and classification, and if there is anything that nears equal to my love of patterns it would be my desire to design systems of organization that can be visually attractive when actualized. Drawing fabrics, hair, jewelry or just patterns is exactly that; an elegantly structured arrangement at best, or at least an ordered assembly. I find the entirety of this process to be terribly stimulating, and that excitement is what drives me forward. Some days I even fall in love with my work. Those are really good days. Other days I can look at a project and know that I have destroyed it, or am getting perilously close to ruining something precious. This second experience is less amorous than the first, but even when I have thoroughly discouraged myself or proved inept at translating my internal vision into a tangible form of visual expression, I always return prepared to work a problem again from a different angle. I know I am meant to be an artist because no matter what happens I am always pulled back to my creative process. No matter what, I know that I will always draw, paint, and sew. Anthropology is another point of fascination, especially when there is a structured model involved, like the Hierarchy of Needs or a Hero with a Thousand Faces. I would think it fair to say that a common theme across all my projects (regardless of medium or series) would be the resonance of archetype in cross-cultural storytelling. The more history I absorb, the more similarity and overlap I recognize. Celebrating the details that humanity agrees on has always seemed a worthy focus for my efforts. Especially when comparing the conceptual storytelling models we as western culture choose to perpetuate verses the stories we try to bury, and how this compares with the ideals of the rest of the globe. Fascinating stuff. As to media, I like markers and inks right now. I was into oil paints and graphite last winter and the spring before that was all-colored-pencil-all-the-time. Some artists like to work with only one or two mediums and I applaud their dedication. But for myself, I like to be able to feel reasonably competent in as many stylistic forms as possible. This stems from my personal belief that it is important for me to keep up a well rounded skill set. I enjoy usable skills, and work to cultivate them. Moreover, I believe that there is an invaluable spiritualism that comes with hands on creation, and I want to be able to express that feeling in as many was as I can.

Cosby Hayes

Visual Arts: Mixed Media, Murals, Painting

My work employs recognizable imagery from multiple eras spanning centuries, woven together as a personal narrative. I reference historical imagery from movements and cultures that never encountered one another, yet through them, a common thread is found. Using architecture and symbolism through a lens that references the aggressive and sometimes audacious nature of graffiti. I explore the need to enshrine one’s existence as it fosters creativity, individualism, and the attempt at immortality. There is a desire to be noticed or remembered through an idolized infamy, which leads many to vandalize and destroy in the name of one’s altar ego. My work aims to harness this vandalistic mentality in an attempt to explore the innumerable styles and techniques used throughout time to make one’s mark on the world. I aim to provoke the viewer to search for some resolution within my work when comparing current and past cultural phenomena. The figures I paint initiate a visual dialogue with regards to Man’s primeval struggle and search for an existence beyond his physical limitations, no matter the cost.
