Allison Luci, Allie For the Soul
I am a colorful painter with a whimsical style.I love to paint on every surface from canvas to windows and sidewalks, even barns and she-sheds.I paint in my tiny (expanding) corner in Queens, NY, using my life experiences to spread a message of hope.
My art, as my life, is a work in progress, always evolving...The eternal optimist in me always sees the bright side. My mantra is "No Mud, No Lotus", which is the title of Buddhist teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh's book, that teaches the art of transforming suffering and seeing the beauty.
The key is to recognize joy and find happiness in everyday moments, even when things aren't always the brightest.
That's what I try to do in life and through my art. Most especially with my animal art.
I always want to show the light, hope and love that we can find in everyday moments.
Without the mud, we would never have the beautiful lotus flower.
Without the darkness, we wouldn't know light.
Find the light each day.
I hope you find the light in my art.
(Along with lots of color and a side of whimsy!)
Peace and love.

My paintings reflect the emotional importance of color and how it influences the human psyche and behaviors. In a society, where people are constantly sitting inside and attached to a screen, I try my best to touch grass every day. Taking the time to observe how colors are brighter once the light hits the leaves after the rain, it makes my day happier. Colors are a nonverbal form of communication used as a tool for many people. Colors allow humans to communicate emotions, inform others of danger, inspire someone to buy a product, spark or reduce anxiety, and so much more. Depending on the context, colors elicit different emotional responses in several ways.
I use color to reflect upon my environment and personal journey. As a graduate student, I study mental health counseling specializing in art therapy. I study and research how powerful colors hold and the weight they carry. It is nearly impossible to view one color alone without the presence and influence of a second shade. My work consciously and intentionally uses different colors to influence different reactions for the colors to be felt by those who view them. Reactions are connected to both conscious and unconscious experience, that humans are exposed to personally and culturally. Each has the potential to have positive characteristics, just as easily as it can have negative connotations. Because, emotional responses are not static, I hope that those who view my art will have different experiences each time they see my work.

Lynda Sandoval, Art On My Terms
Lynda Sandoval is a self-trained, intuitive/process artist living in Fredonia, NY. She works primarily in acrylic paint and pens, but also creates pieces digitally through an identical process, albeit holding a different tool—the stylus rather than the brush or pen.
“I struggled over what to say about my art and why I make it, wishing I could sound knowledgeable and deep, maybe even COOL for the first time in my life--ha. But I finally settled on the truth, hoping that, perhaps, my experience can help or inspire someone else.”
I started painting after a major trauma that I had neither the desire nor the capacity to process in words. Which is ironic, because I’m an author with 24 novels published—words are my jam. Usually. But this trauma was new, deeply personal, and I just...couldn’t. Couldn’t write it. Couldn’t speak it. As a lifelong introvert (a gregarious loner, I call myself), I’m an under-sharer rather than an over-sharer, so other than my therapist and one or two close friends, I spoke to basically no one about everything going on inside. I searched for something, anything that would settle the fear in my chest and still the racing thoughts in my brain when nothing else could, and I found it in colors and shapes and lines and paint tubes. Art saved me, and I mean that with zero hyperbole.
The process of making my pieces is completely organic. I plan nothing beyond the color I start with. The last thing I want is for my critical brain to put its two cents in before I’ve discovered what the piece wants to be, so I just let it happen and follow the lines and colors wherever they go. I have achieved that blissful flow state more since I started painting than I’ve ever felt with anything else--writing, yoga, even meditation.
I have a maximalist aesthetic and a deep love for saturated colors, experimentation, and weirdness. What you’re seeing when you look at one of my paintings is a person surviving, recovering, thriving, growing, and glowing. I hope my art is as therapeutic for you as it is for me.

Andrea Tucker, Acrylic Fluid Artist
“I am an experimental artist specializing in acrylic fluid art. After studying watercolor for many years, the fluidity and techniques involved in acrylic fluid art on canvas have mesmerized me! Various chemicals are used and I manipulate the paint with gravity, hairdryer, string, marbles, pull chains, etc. The colors I use are bold and bright, finished with either satin or glossy varnish. The process is very relaxing and I delight in the paints making their own creation. I am their guide but the paint has a mind of its own!
As a viewer, you will, no doubt, see things in each painting that will evoke a memory, place or thought. This creative type of artistry speaks to everyone in a different manner. Let your imagination take hold and lose yourself in the beauty of art!”

Caitlin Rose Foster
My name is Caitlin Foster, but I like to go by my middle name, Rose. My art name is Lemondropz, established 2011. I was born in San Antonio, TX where I currently reside. I graduated with a BFA from the University of The Incarnate Word, December 2020.
I am a multi medium artist, focusing heavily on illustration with colored pencils and gouache. My subject matter has always been based on the wonders of nature, including the human form. Emphasis on organic linework, texture, and most of all, color.
Creating artwork has been a harbor of hope and active therapy as I have grown up. I had developed an eating disorder and high anxiety when I was a preeteen, and that made my life flat and gray. Artwork, nature, and music has been such a driving force to keep fighting for the beauty of life, and rediscover color.

Jill Keller Pop Art
I'm not gonna lie, as an artist, I struggle BIG TIME when it comes to pricing my work.I spend hours on each piece, anywhere from 2-12+ hours per each mini piece! The struggle is, if I price it according to the work I put in, people admire it, but keep walking. So for a while, I only sold prints of my work. That went well, except they were priced so low that I had to sell tons to cover the cost of the frames and fees for the events I was selling at-...oh the hardships of the art world lol. So recently, I had a sit down with my boss (that means I was talking to myself).
I decided to only sell my originals but at a lower price point. At the end of the day, the goal is to sell the art. I can charge more, but inevitably sell less (and yes, I know if I sold 1 piece for more, it would be the same as selling a few pieces for less), but to be honest, the rush I get from people collecting my work is like a drug, so I'd rather sell more at a lower price.
One day (SOON) I am going to make it BIG (and my prices will skyrocket)so take advantage of my poor business skills and buy NOW!
