Hi! I'm a freelance illustrator in south Knoxville. I collaborate with local businesses to create illustrated event posters, shirts, stickers, and other merchandise. I occasionally peddle my wares at markets, and am interested in working in areas like product design, murals, publishing, and gallery showings.
My name is Dorothy Ellen. I'm based in TN. And I believe art should be fun. Youthful, colorful and playful best describe my abstract collection. Inspired by landscapes, water and light, it features statement paintings with hand-poured, light-catching resin accents, bright colors and rolling shapes that invite you to join me in a different world. My hope is that these pieces will not only transport you and bring some whimsy into your home but maybe brighten your day as well!
Jessica is a Panamanian-American artist that found her first love of art within Panamanian culture & nature. Influenced by the abundant flora and fauna found in the Panama Rainforests, her creations find a connection with in femininity and nature. Delicate feminine elements of the traditional handmade headdresses & garments worn in Panamanian folk dancing can also be found in her work.
The consumption of divine femininity, nature & art is her inspiration in creating. Conceptually exploring the exploitation of femininity & nature; thus injecting and stripping sanctity and power. Her works are both material and delicate with savory textures. Composing impossibly thick, icing like, touch worthy feminine floral elements. A visual delicacy you can only hope to resist the temptation to touch.
I create sculptural paintings which engage with science and mathematics. I was born and raised in Knoxville. I attended MTSU for my BFA (painting and sculpture) and SCAD in Savannah, GA for my MFA in Painting. I am represented in Knoxville by Pivot Point Gallery. Please also visit me in my studio in the Broadway Studios & Gallery complex! Contact me through my website or any of the other links provided to arrange a time to meet me there.
My art celebrates the movement and moments in travel. Appreciating life with open eyes and taking in the sameness and difference in the world changes the traveler. While traveling over 8 years as a volunteer around the world I took photos of everything. I now use those photos as either inspiration or transfers in my pieces. I love texture in art and try to implement either literally or with as a feeling in my work.
I’m from Southern California. I earned a BA & MA in Speech Communication with Minors in Literature, Women’s Studies, and Italian Medieval Studies from UTK.
I joined the Knoxville community in August of 2019 to begin a year long stint as Artist in Residence at Mighty Mud ceramic studio. Coming all the way from Montana, I love to travel to create my place inspired sculptural work. Social, cultural, and physical landscape give ideas to create mixed media and site inspired installation.
I am an interior designer by trade and education, but I have been a maker all my life. Over the years I have explored collage, embroidery, quilting, knitting, murals, painting, and drawing, but I am currently focused on drawing and painting with the hope of experimenting and incorporating more 3-D elements.
