Acrylic Paintings and Note-cards
I am an artist painting from my imagination but inspired by what I see around me. Each acrylic painting is created as a daily reminder that you are more magnificent than you know.
Jessica studied graphic design at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where she discovered a love for abstract, evocative shapes. This led her to a work as an abstract artist. Her process is based on a visceral connection to color, coupled with a background in color theory and visual composition. Jessica loves mixing expressive brush strokes with detailed patterning and pools of pigment. These different applications evoke the emotional/expressive, the meticulous, and the uncontrollable/chance forces of life.
I am a Creative Technologist specializing in 3D printing both plastic and clay. I purchased my first 3D printer in 2015, and was quickly bitten by the 3D printing bug. I started modeling my own creations in TinkerCad, which I still use to make designs for my Etsy shop. I am currently improving my skills in Fusion 360 and OpenSCAD, and I use Meshmixer to help me sculpt, hollow my prints, and reduce the triangle counts on my models. I have completed work for a biomedical imaging company designing and fabricating a nonmetallic holder for one of their scanning instruments from carbon-fiber PETG. The part that I designed, printed, and delivered will help the company calibrate and complete reference scans with MRI-type machines.

Lisa Clow is an illustrator, surface designer, and poet based in Knoxville, Tenn. She works with her hands, best with inks, watercolors, gouache, and pastels, but is fluent in Illustrator and Procreate, having been a graphic designer for the past 10 years.
She takes her hand drawn and painted elements then recreates them into workable vectors for her products. While her work translates wonderfully to a variety of goods, Lisa's passion lies with children's goods, kid lit, and home goods. You can purchase her prints and home goods in her online shop, but her artwork is also available for licensing. All quotes or lyrics used in her products are written herself and under copyright.
If you are interested in licensing her artwork or viewing her picture book dummies and pitches, please reach out via email to receive access to her online catalog..
Elle Benson is what many would describe as a typical working mother. She’s the one on mute during the conference call, balancing her phone on one shoulder and her toddler in the other arm. One minute she’s researching toddler books starring powerful females, and the next minute she’s helping nonprofit organization build the capacity to achieve their missions.
She doesn’t believe there’s a science to motherhood, but does believe that women need to stop judging others, and, more importantly, themselves. She began studying positive psychology to help people finish the phrase, “I’ll be happy when...” Her desire is to assist others with being happy in the present moment.
It started with a hand-me-down 3d printer and an idea for a birthday present. I printed an electric violin for my daughter. I was new to the technology, but that's okay - she was new to the violin.
That introduced me to what 3d printing can do, and I'm still exploring that with a little more knowledge and experience and a much nicer printer. Through Knox 3D Prints, I can share that with you too.
So take a moment. Look around, and see some of the neat things 3d printing can do.
Have been a hand weaver and off-loom beader for over 40 years. For the past 10yrs I have been using paper as my medium to create colorful baskets and quilling to create pet portraits and other art pieces. I use a kiln to create enameled switchplates and jewelry components. I am a juried member of the Foothills Craft Guild in paper and jewelry.
Gay Bryant is an artist, painter, and printmaker who teaches regionally and resides in Knoxville, Tennessee. She has worked as a studio artist for the last 30 years and has been developing her art since grade school. A deep appreciation of nature, architecture, and events of everyday life are the driving forces in her work. Craftsmanship and traditional skills are used to depict the rich culture and landscape of eastern Tennessee. Woodcuts, linoleum block, etchings, and collagraphs make up her printmaking and her painting is done in watercolor or acrylic. Gay’s work is represented in regional galleries and in international collections. See artist’s website at http://www.gbryantstudio.com for samples of work.
I create apparel with a purpose, quirky paper goods, and city maps. All of my product is hand drawn and then created into printed goods. Why waste time and hand draw? Because I'm a strong believer in the power of something that is handmade with love and care!
I am a Knoxville native and recent graduate of the University of Tennessee with a BFA in 2D art. I love bold color, pattern, pop culture, portraiture, fashion, and most importantly the wonderful city I live in!
After spending over 20 years as a fulltime mom for three children, I returned to my love of drawing and watercolor in the Fall of 2009. I specialize in drawing and painting flowers, nature and portraits. I’m especially fond of combining animals and flowers in the same piece. I use acid free papers and high-quality pencils and pigments, and all originals are sealed with a museum quality spray. I believe our lives are filled with lovely small moments that can easily be missed, therefore it is always my goal to try and capture them on paper. (At the moment, the best place to see recent work is on my Facebook Art page.)
I write and draw comics along with standalone illustrations. I graduated summa cum laude from UT after making my own major— Social Justice and Storytelling: Advocating for Human Rights Through Comics. Most of my work is digital art (drawn on an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil using Procreate or Adobe Draw and manipulated in Photoshop on my laptop), but I am versed in traditional media (India ink, pastels, oil paints, Intaglio) as well. My perspective as a feminist activist definitely informs my art.
I am a graphic designer by trade but have been drawing since I was little, an activity that has brought me joy throughout my life. I graduated from NC State's College of Design, finding graphic design through my love of illustration. I have strived to combine my interests of art, design, and biology into work that is uniquely my own.
