Vera Paints solo debut showcased an amazing amount of skill and passion. It is easy to see the hard work put into this art. The vibrant colors make the figures in each art piece look majestic in their realistic styles. Use of dedicated line work highlights subtle details that contrast soft and blending elements.
"One of the questions I'm always asked is who are the people in the paintings? They are all people that I know in life."
Vera makes a point to say that the paintings are referenced with photography, saying that photos are sometimes taken for granted because we live in an age where we can scroll throw hundreds of images so quickly. Painting something in this way makes the impact of the overall image so much stronger.
"Each painting represents a different God"
This art show was used to showcase the special people we know in our everyday life. To remind ourselves that not only are the people in our life majestic but also that..
"Anyone can be the person in the painting."
We look forward to what you will be working on next, thank you Vera.

Misstencil's Work is vibrant, full of culture, humorous and meticulous. Bringing some recent topics in the public's mind, the art brings a humor that is both kind and heart felt. Like the one family member that is always making people laugh. Being an immigrant to America Misstencil brings a lot of culture and another point of view with the goal of bringing people together and making them think about some of the issues we run in to sometimes. The number one fix for a problem is always to share a good meal! Misstencil's art shows this aspect by using food in many different ways.
Coming from a large background of street art, location is always important to Misstencil. Showcasing Burning man and other geographic locations to draw from. Each place has a special history, from the birthplace of Bruce Lee to some of the oldest trees on the planet at Bristal Cone.
"Not everyone can afford the time or money to go to a gallery art show, that's why I like to do street art. Someone could be going down the street on the bus and see my art on the way to work, and then it could be gone the next day."
Thanks for visiting us and showcasing your amazing work.

Anne Mirch is one of the kindest people iv ever met, and her art, some of the most interesting that iv seen.
There is an interesting combination of skill and whimsy that makes the mind wonder and imagen. Threw my talk with Anne we talked about a lot of things, the topic of loneliness came up, as Anne suggested that the greatest thing an artist can have is a community. A place where you can share your hard work, get feedback, and inspire others with your work. I think this is good advice, considering it came from a teacher that knows what they are talking about. Anne has gone through and experienced a lot amazing and hard things as we all will. It reminds me that we should always remember that someone as already gone through our hardships and faut throw them as well. The art on display this month was a story to teach and bring people together. I'm so thankful to have had the opportunity with Anne and I will continue to support our strange little community.

Jack is one of the most interesting people to talk to, often times he will introduce himself as "a seller of Life-Assurance" or that he is in a program for "recovering narcissists". Jacks point of view is always an interesting one, his various travels around the country have contributed to this aspect. "I'm trying to reflect some of the beauty iv been shared" , the painting that he calls MerMex are in a way a reflection of the artis, a mirror frozen in time, he as even described them as music frozen in time. " One thing I have seen is that any one can look at these artworks and pick out their favorite one, this is due to the mass amount of colors and shapes that Jack makes with this technique. He is also able to produce a large amount of art and cover large spaces quickly.
"The Smoothness of the technique and the application of it has actually turned in to a kind of therapy."
If you had ever met Jack Ryan you might be caught off guard, he is definitely a character. "I couldn't make it in theater, so I had to become theater. " Most of the time when I speak with Jack he is cracking a joke that is interestingly disguised behind riddles and self made slang. I always enjoy speaking with him and unraveling the conversation to end up finding a humorous, kind hearted, somewhat political and fun rambling. So don't be so quick to judge something that you might not understand, "I know this is not for everyone", " I had make choices and give myself permission to be myself."
"It feels good to give forth , no mater who you are, and I had to find a safe way to do that."
I'm exited of the reception and hope to see you all there!
Thank you.

Hi Potentialists!
I'm taking a quick break from painting here in the studio to fill you in on what's going on at the Potentialist coming up!
Today we've been getting set up to premier a new film by Fernando Biagioni and Chris Wyatt Scott! The show starts at 6pm tonight. We've also been consistently hosting figure drawing every Wednesday starting at 6pm. The film will premier in the gallery and nude drawing will continue in the back. (There's never a dull moment around here!)
Remember back in the day when this place was a theater? We're very excited to be able to invite you back for live theatrical performances with Stop Kiss! This is their closing weekend- their performances start at 7:30 this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday with a final Sunday Matinee at 2pm. The show starts on time and lasts about 2 hours- make sure to get here early to find your seats!
