Nicole McNamara
“I aspire daily to have the mindset of authenticity, bravery, and creativity in all of my decisions and strive to achieve this on canvas as well. As a primarily abstract oil painter, my guiding philosophy is to bypass the brain and allow a more intuitive voice and source to guide my hand. These portraits of my daughters show them in the light I see them in-bright, beautiful and bold.”
Irene O’Neill
“When I was in elementary school, my mom gave me a Jon Gnagy Learn to Draw book. She framed one of my drawings and hung it up for many years. Then in high school, I was supposed to draw a caricature of one of the teachers, but instead I did a perfect likeness. I still feel like a copyist though, rather than a real artist, but I am the Artistic Director of The Awakenings Project .”
Jamie Rey
Full-time high school art teacher and practicing artist who loves experimenting and trying new mediums.
