Artist Highlights
Adam Long challenges our perception of humanity’s place in nature, using natural and man-made found objects to create thought-provoking sculptures. Long states, “We are not apart from nature, but a part of it.”
Kathy Marshall, hailing from Pana, IL, brings a wealth of experience in various mediums, including watercolor, gouache, and pen and ink. As the first Illinois artist member of painttheparks.com, Marshall’s work promotes both art and nature conservation.
Jeffrey Nihiser’s journey from comic book enthusiast to accomplished illustrator showcases his unique exploration of the human condition. His work defies easy categorization, blending elements of fine art and contemporary illustration.
Mitchell Supancic, a self-taught artist from Fairview Heights, IL, draws inspiration from horror movies, music, and nature to create striking acrylic paintings that focus on realism and portraiture.
Maxine Thirteen, based in St. Louis, MO, offers a provocative take on femininity and social satire through her oil paintings. Her work combines glamorous imagery with macabre elements to both entice and disturb viewers.
