VISUAL ARTISTS

Copper and crystal electro formed jewelry and glass

“I make one of a kind copper and crystal jewelry inspired by nature. I use electrochemistry to form these unique creations, and hope the piece will go home with the person it resonates with the most. I want to inspire others with my art. And spread all the love and light through my self expression.”

Destiny Rhyne

Books, photography

“After years of working in many different mediums, I found my true love of creating children’s books. The book I will be showcasing is about a crow and a little girl;. They find each other and use gifts, instead of words, to communicate. I did all the illustrations, writing, and publishing. Polaroid photos are taken at different points of my life, showcasing people and interesting situations”

Leah Mack | Leijah.Art

Mixed media collages and prints

“My art is mixed media, but more specifically collage-based. I use magazine clippings to start my pieces and then transform the images into something new using paint, ink, and other materials. I find inspiration from the connection between the human experience and the natural world, and seek to unveil the shared, spiritual, experience of the two.”
