Paper, ink, and thread are all it takes Liz Sofield to create these beautiful works of art. It’s apparent that geometry and nature are inspirations in each piece, usually created with watercolor paper. I love the monochromatic palette Liz uses, making the folds and shadows stand out all the more.

Alexandria Coe

Illustrations drawn with a loose hand by London’s Alexandria Coe are both sweet and sensual at the same time. Ladies in the act of dressing (or undressing) or lounging in the bathtub who rarely reveal their faces act as subjects of Alexandria’s lovely work.

Nick Peña

Memphis-based Nick Peña balances being a visual artist with also being an associate professor. I think that’s really the key to being highly creative – doing something outside of your passion that feeds right back into it. The mixed media results speak for themselves through Nick’s explorations of time, style, surroundings, and stability.

Cai Guo Qiang

This weekend – Labor Day here in the U.S. – is probably the last time most of us will see any fireworks for awhile. They’re one of my favorite summertime events, I always look forward to catching a show sprawled out on a blanket or sitting on the hood of a car.

Cai Guo-Qiang is a New York-based artist known for a new kind of fireworks spectacle he calls “explosion events.” His fireworks represent nature, culture, life, and death, each event a short-lived masterpiece in the sky.

Jessica Smith

Simple shapes and colors built through layers both physically and digitally are how Jessica Smith creates her art. Her work is mainly editorial in nature but she also creates some interesting book covers, every piece bold and bright and inviting.

Craig Ward / In Loving Memory of Colour

Craig Ward is an artist with an admitted fear of color. Most of his works lean towards black and white because, technically speaking, we trust them more and are able to focus on the composition without any added information that might distract. But Ward has decided to take the bull by the horns so to speak by undertaking a series of experiments – In Loving Memory of Colour – where every medium is fair game.
