Michael Schuessler-Painter

Schuessler Studios

Michael has been a contemporary artist for over 35 years, having several galleries, one in Denver and the other in the Florida Keys. He has collectors all over the world. They are drawn to his very unique medium, pastels on canvas. And, currently, now incorporating a new series of of resin over the canvas, with Gold Leaf, to create a glass like, one of a kind stunning effect.

“My medium is chalk pastel on raw, untreated canvas which I bind together with acrylic bonding agent. This is accomplished in a series of transparent layers. As a result light striking the canvas is absorbed rather than reflected. This illusion creates the effect of self-generated light, changing from morning to night. This facilitates the true spirit of the pigments to the surface in an ever-changing palette of color.”

Josh Hirt Studios specializes in Mixed Media artistry, metal work, wood bending and abstract imagery.

As a former builder of the new and shiny, Josh has an ironic, yet deep, appreciation for forgotten structures left to the harsh elements of time and nature. He believes there is wonderful beauty in decay, which exists all around us, as well as within. His drive is to present these unique relics in a way that not only tells their story, but shows them in a new light and in their current state of glory.

Using palette knives, I create oil paintings on canvas. The result is a relief technique where oil paint protrudes making the layers thick enough to cast their own shadows onto the canvas.

Marie MaCallum

My interest in projected self-image shows up in my depictions of storefronts, clothing and automobiles. Much of my technique is informed by my former occupation as a trompe l’oeil painter and sign artist. I work in oil on canvas or cradled birch, sometimes utilizing gold or silver leaf.

Tori Meyer

My trademark rustic palette, use of layering, and deliberate brush strokes, create depth and life. As I’m painting, my emotions tend to show up on the canvas. So what may start out as a black and white charcoal, could end up as a brightly colored painting.
