Jennifer Kunin
"My art process has me always surrounded by several works-in-progress at a time, like the several children that I have always had around me. They are created with a vision of beauty, compassion, depth & develop in their own unique way. I spend a lot of time staring at my images & working on this one & that one, through stages of birth, struggle & finishing each with joyous resolution. I paint, sculpt, print & design the figure into themes of nature spirits, goddesses, angels & lovers. They are all self-portraits of facets of my own inner spirit." www.JenniferKunin.com
Gordon Coons

Drawing inspiration from his Anishinaabe heritage, his bright color palette comes from the natural Great Lakes region as he paints in the Ojibwa Woodland style & creates smoke art by burning cedar. "I also enjoy incorporating playfulness in my images, telling stories of relationships between Western & Native cultures, the connections we have & historical events. www.GordonCoons.com
