EVERYBODY Artist Spotlight: Nate Woodard

Nate Woodard is a multi-media artist. He has been drawing and creating artwork all his life, experimenting with various mediums on and off. Many of his pieces have themes of spirituality, independence, and the struggles of everyday life. Nate says, “I try to daydream and imagine stuff in my head to imagine a better world for myself.” On creating his utopia, he says, “I picture myself somewhere else, a whole different person in my head.

Nate’s work was featured in Everybody, along with seven other Fresh Eye artists, from Feb. 12 to March 21.

EVERYBODY Artist Spotlight: Lamine Richards!

Lamine begins his paintings by choosing the colors he wants to work with. He decides on a design, then uses water mixed with acrylic to create washes of color with visible brushstrokes. Lamine’s original compositions combine landscape and portraiture in surreal and fantastic designs. In his free time, Lamine enjoys coloring for relaxation.

Stop in at the gallery and see Lamine’s work, along with seven other Fresh Eye artists, in Everybody, open until March 22!

EVERYBODY Artist Spotlight: Steven Jacobson!

Steven Jacobson’s paintings focus on portraiture of characters either from popular culture or from his imagination. His interests include historical figures, as well as musicians like The Beatles. He often likes to build stories around these characters and will describe different things they would do. His portraits and landscapes are developed with many layers of paint added over weeks or months. Steven often revisits paintings and adds new layers on top of older work, creating an ever-shifting portfolio that lives and breathes in real time as Steven develops his practice.

Stop in at the gallery and see Steven’s work, along with seven other Fresh Eye artists, in Everybody, open until March 22!
