About the Artist:
Mark Warren Jacques lives within a web of art makers, musicians, skateboarders, and backyard revolutionaries. This close-knit community thrives on representing a sort of whimsy that harnesses the energy of idealism and is rooted in earthy spirituality. Lest you conclude that he lives in a world of naivete, Jacques will surprise you with his gusto to love, question, and commit himself to the realities of hard work, ambition, and responsibility to his community. -Leslie Miller, Fontanelle Gallery
He’s painted murals in Paris, London, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Nashville, Reno, Dallas, Duluth, and his hometown of Minneapolis, amongst other lesser known locations.

A native Southerner raised on a cotton plantation in the Mississippi Delta, Eggleston has created a singular portrait of his native South since the late 1960s.
Her animal drawings, rich in emotion as they are in detail, celebrate stories and bring narrative to life.
I believe painting has the power to provoke thought and feeling and can make a positive contribution.
Exploring the landscape, historical sites, discarded memorabilia, and makeshift roadside museums littering the modern West, Justin Newhall has spent the past few years following the Lewis and Clark Trail through the Dakotas, Montana and beyond.
