BRADY LEGLER Family has played a big role in Brady Legler’s development as a jewelry designer and painter. He began designing jewelry in 2008 at the age of 19 with the inspiration of his grandmother, Lou Legler. His eye for design quickly translated into painting and has grown his career as an artist ever since. Brady’s time as a student of product design at Parsons The New School for Design in New York helped to hone his aesthetic. Both his jewelry and his paintings have gained Brady a wide audience. The paintings have sold worldwide and samples of his artwork have appeared in Elle Décor, Modern and Hunger UK magazines. “Art is all about color for me. When I pick up a paintbrush my goal is to add depth, movement,
and emotion but I cannot attain any of these without the right colors.” His abstract works of art can vary in mood from the raw and spontaneous to the thoughtful and serene. Images from the paintings are now being translated onto wool and silk rugs handmade in Nepal.

KU Z A N A O G G Born in India, Kuzana Ogg draws strong inspiration from her childhood memories in Bombay: Kuzana has participated in two residencies: temperate weather, fragrant jasmine blossoms, and cascading layers of color. She received her undergraduate degree from the State University of New York in 1995. Kuzana has participated in two residencies, the first in Red Wing, Minnesota and later in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Her paintings have been included on the sets of both television shows and feature films—the most recent of which were Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, Southpaw and My All-American.

D E A N KU B E Dean Kube creates contemporary abstract portraits as an expression of collaborative self-reflection and in homage to the beautiful uncertainty of life. Each painting begins from a place of ecstatic uncertainty and a desire to work through the unknown; to follow the guidance of energy released by a person or a moment. It is life’s ambiguity that is his greatest source of inspiration: mistakes, bumps, and blemishes are what makes existence rich with texture. This offers the viewer permission to create a personal sense of meaning within the artwork. These infinitely colorful palettes in turn replenish his own requisite for selfreflection and propels his creative process forward. The cyclical nature of this process and the intimacy garnered across these fields of self-reflection are how he finds and makes meaning of the fleeting moments and malleable energies in the world.Â

M A R C E L R OZ E K Marcel Rozek is an abstract colorfield artist interested in color relationships and the role of transparency in painting. Rozek uses a stain painting technique to create his brightly colored and richly layered compositions. He begins with liquified oil paint that he has mixed and diluted before pouring it directly onto raw unprimed canvas allowing the paint to generate organic shapes and movement. This technique creates puddles of color that overlap and extend into one another while soaking into the canvas. As the colors converge, overlap, and blend they absorb at different rates creating unique color families and blurry, spectral forms. Rozek considers his work a reflection of himself with each piece carrying a unique message that changes for every viewer. How Rozek’s messages translates is a rumination into the viewers own perspective. “I try to translate depth and intuition to the viewer in the hopes we can have a conversation and a connection,” he says.

CYNTHIA BJORN Cynthia was born in Bellingham Washington and as a young child, her family moved to the Midwest. Cynthia received a BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute with a focus on painting and design and has since used her design skills to produce a flourishing career. After many years in a creative, corporate world, Cynthia was able to redirect her life path back to painting. Painting in her studio has given Cynthia the language to communicate, through her work, on a deeper level and the ability to connect to something larger than herself. Bjorn’s work is a partnership between emotive mark making and responding to the surface of the painting. Each piece begins with an emotional tone in mind, inspired by the energy within moments of clarity and moments of calming peace… in the midst of chaos. Bjorn has a fascination with mark making. Using the painting’s surface as a metaphor of conversation, she layers the paint until a statement that captures her intention and intuitive voice has been created.
