Daniel Kaufman
"The empathic potential of color allows me to express the microcosm of flowers and the macrocosm of astral imagery, emerging constellations and stellar pulsations. Color empowers me to create, in the words of the great painter Richard Pousette-Dart, “the cosmos for man”, which I believe is the role of the artist. This all-encompassing energy that permeates nature, the universe and the cosmos is the essence of my art." - Daniel
Chris Justice
"Overwhelming yet liberating, inspiration is something that I live firsthand; therefore, it is what I am. If I had to pinpoint the direct source of inspiration for my work it would be my relationship with people. My life (not only as an artist) but as a human being is based around the relationships that are kept and unfortunately sometimes broken. People are the most fascinating entities in the world and I process my experience with such entities through color. Like people, colors are equally as fascinating and can evoke stories of their own, especially in the world of abstraction. My work is also highly inspired by places, near and far." -Chris
Kimball Hall
"Making art is a very personal and spontaneous act for me. All I know is that I have to do it. I'm compelled to make things and I can't alway's explain the reasons of take full credit for the results. I believe that the creative spirit comes from a greater source and I trust this unapologetically. I believe that from a drunken napkin sketch to a perfectly executed photograph, nothing produced in truth is absent of that higher artistic influence." -Kimball
