Kyle is a self-described creative polymath, who balances her work life between fine art, illustration, and graphic design across all platforms. She’s a wildly creative, unapologetically self-expressed free spirit who lives a daily practice of gratitude. Her fine art ranges from abstract to realism and involves a wide variety of mediums. Collage, textures and circles are a focal point in her pieces.     

Her other latest projects include illustrating a children's book, client work in print, VR and motion graphics, sound design and writing.      

Kyle has a fondness for illustrating animals and botanicals, and for loose, unplanned abstract work. She is also currently writing two books - a memoir and an interactive book about gratitude. Having maintained more than 1800 days of posting her gratitude, she’s also given talks on the subject and hopes to offer both books in the very near future.     

When she is not painting or drawing, Kyle is creating products for her online store, and staying safe with her husband, son and their two dogs, Doodle and Scout in their Woodland Hills home.

Doug Weaver is a real cool guy! He lives in Old North with his wife  and son, where he paints magnificent paintings in his basement. Weaver  received his MFA in painting from Fontbonne University in 2013. After  graduating, he moved to Rwanda in the Peace Corps where he taught art,  music, and drama. He also found time to organize and implement women’s  empowerment trainings for young men as well as wrestling wild dogs in  a spay and neuter campaign.    

In 2015, Weaver moved back to St. Louis and became a father. That’s  when he went from being merely a cool guy to a REAL cool guy. He  teaches art as an adjunct instructor at Stevens - The Institute of  Business and Arts, as well as pursuing his own artistic excellence. In  his spare time he reviews grants for the Regional Arts Commission and  grows rare and exotic plants, because of course he does.    

His recent work focuses on the city of St. Louis and volunteerism. In  2019, Weaver had two solo shows. One series of cityscapes at The 3rd  Degree Glass Factory, and a series of 10 paintings representing  nonprofit organizations in St. Louis. These paintings were donated to  volunteers at those nonprofits, because Doug is baller AF.    

Doug Weaver makes all of his paints by hand using pigments from plants  he grows in the Old North Community Garden, oils from farms in  Missouri and Illinois, and beeswax from Clayton, MO.    

I think we can expect big things from Doug Weaver.

After a long career as a software engineer and serial entrepreneur, Ron is returning to his childhood fascination with photography as an interpretive documentary art form. Even in his early teens, he was fascinated with photography's ability to capture a specific moment in time. A place, A look. A feeling. As he again opens his eyes to the wonder and beauty that surrounds us, he is pleased and honored to be able to bring you a brief glimpse into that world through his eyes.     

Ron's motto is "I'll 'shoot' anything that gets in my way."  Rather than focus on any single category, he chooses to bring his eclectic vision to everything he finds around him.    

That being said, he has recently undertaken a select few more extensive projects.  The most ambitious goal is to photograph every historic railway and railway museum in California (there are 32).     

Also, he hosts a discussion of his work and shares photography tips every other Sunday on "Sunday Morning Live with Ron." It streams live on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram, and replays are available on YouTube and Facebook.

Jasmine is a self taught artist with a background in science. Her art explores the emergent patterns found in natural growth, form, and collective systems.

Deborah Herbert's Bio:  

As a former Visual Arts Educator, consultant and trainer, my  philosophical approach to my art is much the same as my teaching….I  never stop learning, exploring and experimenting! The Equine form has  always held great spiritual significance to me, it’s beauty and grace is  perhaps unsurpassed in nature save for the human form. They have much  in common. To render them truthfully….their mystery, power, gentleness,  strength and spirituality are the qualities I strive to portray!

Björn Kleemann's Bio:    

I'm a photographer currently based in the Bay Area south of San Francisco. Originally from Germany we have left our home country more than 15 years ago and since then have lived in Ireland, Argentina and now California.

I started with photography late in life, I picked up a camera a bit more than ten years ago just with the idea to improve our holiday photos. I found out quickly that there is so much more to discover with a camera and I spent a lot of time on learning many different styles of photography from landscapes, portraits to street photography and more.    

Today I am most interested in abstractions by either distorting the picture while out shooting or manipulating it in processing. I'm also a big fan of minimalism and I spend a lot of time finding good places for architecture and landscapes I can turn into minimalist experiments. My photography is not representational, I don't document the world around me - I intend to interpret it based on what I see and feel.    

Should the opportunity arise I'm also happy to get my long lens out and chase some wildlife - from bobcats and eagles in our backyard to orcas and humpbacks out on the pacific ocean.

May Chan's Artist Statement:    

Lively, colourful, always cheerful with crazy abundant loud energy.  That's just one side of me. 

The other side is darker, moodier, more serious-er. I suppose it’s the  Jekyll and Hyde syndrome.     

On the darker side of the moon, my work is either monotone or in black  and white. For some reason, this is mostly expressed in commercial  artwork. 

On sunny days, my work is bright, bubbly, joyful, and jubilant. Kawaii  muffins, Kute kaijus,  two-legged fish, weird and wonderful three eyed cats all spontaneously  pop into existence  while I float on a rainbow cloud made of candy and cane and everything  nice.     

That’s not to say one work is better than the other. Each piece is  precious. Each piece a beautiful memory of life in the city, at the  beaches, being bored at traffic jams, of furious scribbles in art  schools, mad holidays with the family, and lazy afternoons with my  favouritest people.    

I collect emotions and pour them into my art. I look and wonder, “What  if?”, “Why did I?”,  “Why didn’t I?”, “Why would I?” and then I draw some more, and create  some more.
