CLARE DOVETON Clare Doveton is a painter who creates ethereal landscapes inspired by the unfettered skyline of the Flint Hills and her love of seclusion within the natural world. Clare Doveton obtained her BFA from Parsons School of Art and Design in New York City in 1998. After exhibiting on both coasts, Doveton moved to Lawrence, Kansas where she currently paints in the Warehouse Arts District of Lawrence. After eleven years of living in congested urban environments, the tranquility of rural environments heavily influences Doveton's work. She paints large-scale skyscapes that depict the complexity of open sunrises, the shimmer of a swift moving sunset, and the luminosity of a distant gas station seen miles away on a country road. Her lucid, dream-like oil paintings capture these moments and her continued interest in nature and conservation. Doveton’s work can be found in private and corporate collections nationally and internationally including The Art of Emprise, Quest Financial, New School University, NOVA Financial, and others. She has served on the Board of Directors for the Kansas Zen Center and the Lawrence Arts Center, and she was selected as the 2015 Featured Artist for the Lawrence Arts Center Benefit Art Auction.

LINDA LIGHTON Linda Lighton is a Kansas City based ceramicist who creates work that reflects upon organic forms in nature, the glorification of violence, and feminism. As her interest in the role of war and violence in our culture has grown her ceramic flowers, pods and crystals have grown guns, gas pumps, bullets and lipsticks as the proliferation of war flowers in our American lifestyle. Lighton reflects upon her work saying, “All my work is about feminism and feminist imagery. As a woman, I feel to be honest and to have integrity I must reveal and discuss what I know. What I know is in the United States, guns seem to be flowering like weeds, with a reverence for brute force and a resistance to humanity. I believe the best I can do is to keep this conversation alive. I use seduction and often humor as a way to get into the piece. Then I want the viewer to have the opportunity to think about a concept. My attraction to nature never wavers. To see the blooming, the unfolding in nature and the coming forth of life, as well as the retreating, is a constant in my work. My desire is to embrace the life force.�

ANDY JULO Andy Julo creates elegant relief prints and cyanotypes that draw connections between the body, the cosmos, and the earth. Each of Julo's pieces reveal the artist's sensitivity to light and material, an aptitude also echoed in his interest in photography. Julo often creates cyanotype prints, which are made using a 19th century photographic printing technique that produces gorgeous prussian blue and white artworks. These pieces transform commonplace materials into delicate, individual universes of shape and tone. Through his work, Julo is interested in re-imagining traditional iconographies, narratives, and symbolic codes within a contemporary context by calling into question conventional boundaries between the sacred and profane. "First introduced in 1842, the cyanotype process is among the earliest photographic techniques to be developed in the modern era... These images have endured for well over a century and a half because of the alluring contrast between the brilliant white of the image set against a deep background of Prussian Blue. This image is known as a photogram as it is one of a kind. Should the blue tones begin to fade, cyanotypes will return to their original blue after a short time being placed in a dark closet."

KEVIN MORRIS Kevin Morris is a Kansas City based representational artist. A colorist with a strong commitment to form and light, Morris combines direct observation and expressive color to create representations that juxtapose planes of flattened space with realistic images that convey depth and plays of light. While Morris does not have formal training in art or design, he studies art closely, borrowing from the techniques and habits of the nabis, fauvist, and pop art movements. He is interested in giving presence, depth, and space to small, seemingly insignificant, ephemeral things such as flowers, bugs, or interior scenes of domestic life. Morris works out of his home studio in Overland Park where his family, their cats, and their home provide energy and inspiration for his work.

BRADY LEGLER Brady Legler’s abstract compositions are known for their therapeutic, emotive, and brilliantly colored qualities. Brady’s eye for design emerged at the age of 19 when he started designing jewelry in his parents’ basement. In 2008, Brady moved to New York to attend Parsons The New School where he studied product design. His studies centered around contemporary affairs including sustainability and technological change through the exploration of materials, fabrication, and social engagement in both local and global contexts. He participated in graduate and undergraduate programs taught at the School of Constructed Environments — Architecture, Interior Design, and Lighting Design — as well as Fine Arts, where he fostered the interdisciplinary nature of his work and began painting professionally. Brady’s work has 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.” The abstract compositions Brady creates vary in mood from raw and spontaneous to thoughtful and serene. Images from his paintings are now being translated onto wool and silk rugs handmade in Nepal. Brady splits his time between New York City and his hometown, Kansas City where he has purchased a new home and studio space.

RUTH BORUM-LOVELAND Ruth Borum-Loveland is a painter who creates radial compositions inspired by the relationship shared between small parts and the whole they comprise. Using acrylic paint, pen drawings, layering and sanding techniques, gold leaf, photocopy manipulation of original drawings, and acrylic transfers on wood and canvas, Borum-Loveland’s radials reflect her interest in mycology, nature, manifestation, and human relationships and her love for color and the alchemy of painting. Her process is inherently meditative in its repetition of minute details and this act draws upon notions of community, the life cycle, the universe, and our place within it. Borum-Loveland earned her BFA from the University of Oklahoma and she has exhibited work throughout the United states.
