My name is Edith Velasquez Rubio, and I'm an abstract multimedia artist from Upstate SC. I create art through inspiration of music, personal experiences of travel and making connections with those around me.

I’m a multidisciplinary artist who has worked in a variety of mediums over the years, including writing, acrylic painting, photography, wood burning, and sculptural work. For this series, I’m planning mixed-media pieces that combine acrylic painting with sculptural and dimensional elements.

The work I’m developing explores themes of collective consciousness, connection, separation, rupture, descent, and integration. At its core, it reflects on how we search for ourselves through others, what breaks us open, and how the self is eventually rebuilt into something more whole. Visually, I’m interested in combining figurative imagery with symbolic materials like thread, mirror, relief, and layered surfaces.

Mediums: Writing, acrylic painting, mixed media, sculptural clay, photography, wood burning

For Hanna, the act of creation is a holistic conversation between inspiration and joy. This Greenville native allows the canvas to guide her direction. With a loose concept centered around emotion, she allows acrylics, paint markers, Sharpies, and found items, such as abandoned bird nests, to direct her pieces.

Abby Rose here. My art is evidence of a girl experiencing growing pains in her late 20s (and probably until my death). Trying to keep my empathy and humanity intact as we spiral into facism as a country. Peace and love.

Multi-media artist from the south east. Working in sculpture, metals, paint, and ink . My background is in fine art from Valdosta State university in south Georgia; but I’ve been creative since birth. My interest is in functionality and or expressing what I feel in the moment. 

Wes died in 2012. However, after a remarkable revival and countless hours in a hospital bed, he deemed it necessary to express himself by any means, as a hopeful deterrent to alcoholism and addiction. Over the next decade, Wes began to paint and write poetry.

I am lylah and I have been doing art since I was 15, but I have always been interested in art. Growing up around my sister painting on our bedroom floor as she kept telling me to stop watching her, but I couldn't help it,  I was so mesmerised. I haven't and didn't paint as much as I want to, yet I am proud of the pieces I have created so far for the most part.
