Staci Friedman - I am a mixed media artist with a passion for watercolors, botanicals and abstract art. I am inspired by the beauty and delicate details of flowers, as well as the effortless, loose fluidity of abstracts. I create art as a way to express my individuality. When I begin an abstract piece, I start with a blank canvas and a general idea. Sometimes I am inspired by something simple, like a color that connects to a memory for me. I begin my realistic pieces with a sketch, based either on a live reference or photograph of something that enlivens me. I enjoy trying new techniques, mediums and styles and combining them with the spontaneity of watercolor. I am constantly looking for new ways to challenge myself, finding new sources of inspiration and ideas that spark my creativity. I am passionate about my work and I love what I do!

Kate Morgan -Multi-award winning mixed media artist Kate Morgan has displayed work from Washington, D.C to Minneapolis with work hanging in domestic and European private collections. Frustrated at the digital photography world for not being tactile enough, she turned to mixed media. Morgan is inspired by folklore, mythology & the human form. Layers of collage are mixed with her ink washed drawings to address symbolic, cultural, historical & spiritual themes with purposeful vagueness, allowing them to be familiar to a variety of audiences. Visually described as a haunting interpretation of anatomy where divinity meets mythic lore. ”I want my work to be the beginning of a dialogue, not a confrontation." Though she works in mixed media now, Morgan earned her B.F.A in commercial photography from Columbus College of Art and Design. Born in Syracuse, NY & raised in Columbus, OH she is also versed in printmaking & ceramics. Kate has been living her dream as a full time artist since 2012 by traveling the Country showing her work while maintaining a studio in Columbus, Ohio.
