Connecting the brush in my mind with the profound language of nature, Mathematics, I am surely aiming to communicate laws of nature, but not only. My story digs as deep as is a try to capture the innate thoughts of autistic mind, that sees the world in a mere way – beautiful...

Carrie W Martin

Expansive landscapes, the infinite horizon and amazing big sky have informed who I am as a person and an artist. I also embody a ‘don’t fence me in’ ethic that allows me a sense of freedom, inspired by the Great American West. The joy I’ve discovered outdoors inspires my work.

Jonathan Van Allen

Subtle surrealism is one of Jonathan’s favorite themes. Comments from art show patrons, such as “what planet are you from” or “what have you been smoking”, fuel his creativity and support his objective to start a narrative that the viewer finishes.
