Storytelling is a cross-cultural, significant human experience we have the ability to do. It existed before written language and now we see it in the art around us. Believe in your story, see it as something to be valued and as something that can lend a hand to others looking for answers within.

Featured Artist | AmorosoART
The main reason I create is to share my perception of what I see with the rest of the world. Sometimes I feel like many people walk past beautiful interesting things without noticing them. For most of my artwork, I guess that I am trying to say, “Stop and look at this!”

While it’s important to take in feedback, you should take everything with a grain of salt. My one art teacher in college gave me a “C” and said that I wasn’t good at drawing, but I used that as fuel because I knew that she was incorrect. Now I have a 3 month waiting list of commissions.

I’m an offbeat fine artist based in the Washington DC area. An assortment of animals, crazy characters, mythical monsters and more continuously fill my head. I usually paint them into existence using bold colors and a thick and chunky acrylic that begs to be touched.

Ziggy Sawdust is an ongoing project of live chainsaw portrait carving. That means someone sits in a chair and I try to carve as much about them as I can in a two-inch thick plank of pine in about 17 minutes.

My main forms of artistic expression include fire dancing and body painting. I create to transmute emotions and empower my whole being. Growing up, I have always taken art, movement, and music classes.
Featured Artist | Chivrak
I believe that people want to feel or release emotion a little more than they generally tend to be able to experience on their own and this is one of the main reasons humanity has art.

I’ve been creating and dreaming for as long as I can remember. Art has kept my hands and mind occupied thru my journey of sobriety that started about three years ago. Art truly saved me and helped me realize my purpose in this life. It is the place where I lose myself and find myself.

Just keep making art. There’s so many artists with the same passion, just focus on yourself. And it might feel bad sometimes because your art might not get attention but that’s ok. At the end of the day make the art for yourself and those who enjoy it will come along.
Featured Artist | Scott Clarke
My advice to other aspiring artists is to follow the passion, don’t compare yourself to others and take chances. Art is everywhere and everything…there’s room for everyone!

It’s always good to follow your heart, even if you are not sure you will succeed. The biggest regrets in life are the things you DIDN’T do. Not the things you did.
Featured Artist | Adam Myers
Instead of begging those in power for a chance, collaborate with fellow artists—Don’t work with people who demand you compromise yourself, your art or your values for success.

Featured Artist | MapleMothPaints
Just put yourself out there and create what you love! Even if you think your art is weird or repetitive, it doesn’t matter because the only opinion that matters when it comes to your art is your own.
Featured Artist | TiffyInks
Born and raised in MD but currently live in NC going on 2 years now. Art is currently my escape from reality and side hustle outside of my regular 9-5 job. I create to keep my love for cartoons going as well give people that “I remember so and so from that show” reaction when they see my work.
Featured Artist | Graypaint
My advice to any artist out there is to continue doing whatever kind of art makes you happy, but don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself.
Featured Artist | Becca Embroiders
Even though I’m a pretty introverted person, I love making meaningful creations with other people. Making and sharing art helps me to grow and connect with others.
Featured Artist | Brit.Dats.Hip
I would tell any other artist to stay persistent and continue to bring your ideas to life. People love seeing things that are unique and different so any chance you have to create and bring your mind to life do it because you never know whose watching.

I have been an artist to some degree all my life: drawing the sights around me as a child, exploring different mediums through art classes, sketching desert scenes during my military deployments, and presently making visual art inspired by the onset of a rare disorder affecting my vision.

I am a credentialed art therapist and artist. My love of art is what led me to a career in art therapy. I find it important that as an art therapist, I continue to explore and express myself artistically. I am inspired by nature, currently birds.
