Kyle Skor

Kyle Skor is an American artist and children’s book author/illustrator. He grew up playing in the prairie snows and forests of the upper midwest, which nurtured in him the spirit of the wandering mystic. At one point he went to Williams College and studied art history and psychology, and chose somewhat prematurely to enter a doctoral program at Harvard at the age of 22. As a graduate student, he spent more time skipping class to read poetry and sketch at the museums of greater Boston and Cambridge than not, an awareness of which ultimately led him to drop out of school and assume a variety of odd jobs, working by candlelight on his “soul stuff”. Between 2005 and 2013, the fruits of most of these efforts found themselves consigned to various landfills around Asia and California.

Charlotte Keates

London-based artist Charlotte Keates paints from inspiration gathered on a trip around the United States and Canada, as well as a mysterious set of slides indirectly acquired from a wealthy American family which documents their travels in the ’60s. Her paintings are a most welcome respite on freezing cold December days when you can project yourself right into her work – I’ll be in the jungle home!

Hilary Pecis

So often we take the everyday moments in life for granted, we take ourselves out of the present to think about something in the past that’s nagging or what’s to come in the future. Hilary Pecis paints these moments from her life and gives us permission to stop and think about our own.

Sylvie Fleury

Cosmetic cases are small artworks unto themselves, just looking at all of those little compartments filled with saturated color leave me ready to create. But Geneva-based artist Sylvie Fleury takes them to another level by painting shaped canvases that recreate their beauty on a larger scale. When it comes down to brass tacks, an artist’s palette and a makeup artist’s tools of the trade aren’t much different.
