Kristin A

Visual Arts: Constructions/Collage, Mixed Media, Painting, Sculpture

I am primarily a sculpture artist working with steel & mixed media. I enjoy creating organic, contemporary forms and figurative forms. Women are strong, elegant, AND beautiful. I love that I can convey that in the medium I have chosen. In addition to sculpture I also do something I call a botanical collage. I add physical plants to my acrylic paintings & seal them. They have various particles in them that capture the light. I try to make my paintings come to life with this process. As a light source travels across my work it is illuminated in different areas, perhaps mimicking the sun. Artists have imitated nature & plant life for centuries, I actually preserve & enhance it.

Teresa Barber

Visual Arts: Painting

After a career in Marketing, Advertising and now Information Technology, Teresa is finally devoting her spare time to art with plans to eventually transition to full time “arting”. Attending Herron School of Art 28 years ago was the highlight of her life but two daughters, who are the joys of her life, and her corporate career beckoned. With a recent move from the suburbs to Emerson Heights, her friendships with artists greatly expanded. The newly formed group, the Eastside Art Collective, has provided both inspiration and support to encourage Teresa to finally get back to creating art. Squeezing art into your evenings and weekends is no small feat. Now with her own studio at 201 Studios in Indianapolis, she is working more and more.

Jen Broemel

Visual Arts: Constructions/Collage, Mixed Media, Textiles, Works on paper

Jen Broemel: Artist Bio I work mainly with cloth for its tactility, responsiveness, and abundance. I was originally drawn in by the process, the way in which the materials layer. The way they feel as they are worked. The way the thread and cloth work together, transforming and guiding the work, adding texture, contrast, and comfort with every stitch. I love the history and tradition of women sewing together and am in love with the community that surrounds and supports those who sew together. I am especially interested in taking cast off or everyday fabrics and working them into something unexpected, repurposing something ordinary and turning it into something special, something to cherish, and behold. I work intuitively letting my sense of the fabrics color, texture, and shape guide their placement and the stitches placed upon them. I love exploring, experimenting with the different ways to manipulate the cloth with the thread, putting together and cutting apart, constructing and reconstructing, a cycle that for me symbolizes the happenstance of life. My intention is to inspire others to look at the world around them more carefully, more mindfully, to see the extraordinary in the discarded, to notice the beauty in the mundane. And if they can’t see it, to show them it is possible to look at things in a new and different way. How we see the world shapes our lives, our relationships, our actions. Let us notice the miracles of every day, every stitch. . .EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

Janet Brown

Visual Arts: Constructions/Collage, Graphic Arts, New Media/Technology, Photography, Printmaking, Sculpture

Through capturing photographic imagery from personal sacred space, dreams and the natural world, I create my own language of metaphors and special symbolism. This is visual journaling of what’s important to me and my inner thoughts and ideas are made visible through my technique and my choice of subject matter. I believe we are formed by images and we need to develop a critical intake and understanding of what we are seeing. There are reoccurring images throughout my work from spiritual pilgrimages, family, the natural world and dreams that are important to me. I return often to placing a special black stone in my work that represents me. This is an important touchstone of meditation and memory which allows me to be placed in the spiritual spaces that I capture and compose. Light and shadow are also a reoccurring symbolism representing spiritual and self-awareness. By encountering the push and pull of both my light and my shadow, I expose myself to a source of life otherwise not seen. For me, this is where divinity is found.

Bradley Burnell

Multi Arts; Performing Arts: Actor/Actress, Dance, Music, Spoken Word, Theatre; Visual Arts: Constructions/Collage, Functional and/or Decorative, Glasswork, Graphic Arts, Illustration, Jewelry, Media and Visual Communications, Mixed Media, Murals, New Media/Technology, Painting, Performance Art, Performers and Writers, Photography, Printmaking, Sculpture, Textiles, Visual Arts Instructor

What is Quixotic Artistry? It is first and foremost, my brand. It’s whimsy, it’s being able to look failure directly in the eye, and say “f*&# off”, and turn it into success. It’s my past heartbreak, and my feelings of insecurity. Ironically, it is my suit of armour, and my confidence. It is Assemblage, fashion design, makeup artistry, and graphics. It is choreography, it is design. It’s perfect balance. It is the rebirth of my failed attempts at becoming a fashion designer, yet is the new life of a new approach. It is the phoenix, that is rising from the ashes of what I thought to be the end of a journey. Alas, my journey is not over. What is Quixotic | Artistry ? It is whatever that I want it to be, and will be everything that I quixotically dream it to be.

Lydia Burris

Multi Arts; Visual Arts: Constructions/Collage, Illustration, Mixed Media, Painting, Portrait, Sculpture, Visual Arts Instructor, Works on paper; Installation

Lydia Burris is a mixed media and multi-subject artist. She often compares her work to the sense dreams: a place of ambiguity, emotion and surrealism, peppered with snippets of symbolism and meaning. The mind and how it works is a recurring theme in her artwork. In the studio she experiments with both 2D and 3D mediums. She playfully splatters, scrapes, constructs, destroys, and reconstructs her way through the creative process. Her subjects range from a deep darkness to delightful whimsy. Another of her passions is poetry, often through found and cut text creations. She is a fanatic about sketchbooks, and works in one daily. Her most recent series (2020) involved mixed media collages revolving around the yearning to travel mixed with her love of fantastic people and places. In 2004, 2005 Lydia traveled to Norwich, England where she received her Masters of Fine Art from the Norwich School of Art and Design. She keeps an art studio in Downtown Indianapolis, and teaches studio art part time at Ivy Tech. She shows her work in galleries, participates in art events, and vends at conventions such as GenCon and Horrorhound Weekend. (Pre-pandemic) A full list of events for each year can be seen on her website.

Erin Case

Visual Arts: Ceramics, Functional and/or Decorative, Illustration, Mixed Media, Sculpture

I’ve been working with ceramics for over 20 years. Over these 20+ years, I’ve grown an appreciation for clay’s ability to deeply connect with its end users. There is something special about holding a handmade mug that industrially manufactured mugs simply cannot compete with. I akin handmade mugs to being able to shake the creator’s hand every day (literally). This connection to the creator spans time and space, creating a unique opportunity to get to know the maker on a personal level. I hope my audience can take this connection away from my work and to those that have, I am forever grateful for the opportunity to connect with you.

Mary Clouse

Visual Arts: Illustration, Mixed Media, Painting

Born in Ohio, Mary grew up with a love of two things: animals and art. From an early age she began drawing creatures of all types. In an effort to keep up with their budding artist her parents enrolled her in private art lessons with a commercial cartoonist as well as lessons at the Dayton Art Institute. As a high school student her illustrations and creations frequently took top honors. Always finding new ways to incorporate her passions, she combined her love of pets and imagery with a short stop-action animation film, “Jungle Beasties in Jeopardy.” She attended Marian University and majored in Fine Art. When she wasn’t busy drawing human figures, creating ceramic sculptures, setting stained glass or silk screening the latest posters for campus theater productions she could be found in the painting studio, working in oils. During her summers she worked at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The area commander noticed her creative skills and commissioned her to do a large plate glass painting for the entry to International Logistics Headquarters. Her diversity and dedication to the artistic craft were recognized when she was awarded the All Department Art Award, Outstanding Senior, during her final year of college. After graduating, Mary turned her flair for design into a career as an interior and retail designer, working for several private design studios, department stores and retail fixture design and manufacturing firms. She volunteered her knowledge of liturgical art by serving as the head of liturgical art at her church. When the parish undertook construction of a new, multi-million dollar sanctuary, Mary was asked to serve on the design committee. Her illustrations and patterns were turned into fifteen foot etched glass panels that illuminated the Blessed Sacrament Chapel (St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church, Indianapolis, IN). Over the years she enjoyed various creative outlets, including illustrations, murals, design and marketing materials, and a number of crafts. In 2011, The Adventures of Frissle the Bear, a children’s story written and illustrated by her, was published; once again combining her love of animals and art. In 2013 Mary returned to her love of painting, this time exploring the medium of watercolor. She has studied extensively under the tutelage of noted watercolorist, Sandy Ezell. Always looking to explore new avenues in the world of watercolor, Mary is an active member of the Watercolor Society of Indiana and has attended a number of workshops, including an intensive workshop with renowned international watercolorist, Frank Francese. She exhibits her work in the Midwest region and her paintings have won numerous awards and entries to juried shows such as the Watercolor Society of Indiana Show (Indianapolis Museum of Art), Indiana Heritage Arts Exhibition, Hoosier Salon Good Old Summertime Exhibition, Indiana State Fair and Riley Festival, including a first and second place sweep (Professional Division). Mary continues to explore new methods and techniques in painting with recent additions of alcohol inks, cast epoxy and watercolor, as well as media mixing with the aforementioned.

Dan Cooper

Visual Arts: Film, Painting, Photography, Sculpture

My paintings combine science and art. Astronomy and physics, particularly string theory, excite my imagination – creating possibilities for portraying multiple dimensions. Those unseen forces are depicted metaphorically intertwining with faith and belief. A Midwest sensibility influences my visual stories. Nature and recognizable objects symbolize abstract concepts. Each painting is a story – all part of a larger adventure.

Lisa Cooreman

Visual Arts: Mixed Media, Printmaking, Textiles, Visual Arts Instructor, Works on paper

As in my life, my approach to teaching is rooted in taking risks. I model a curious and investigative life, which can empower students to do the same. My aim is always to inspire students to become better makers and thinkers with capacities to work critically. I create space for artists of marginalized identities and histories of resistance. I encourage my students to see themselves as contributors to the larger conversations of their world and times, as reflected in art. Perhaps a greater testament to my dedication has been volunteer work in communities searching for art’s accessible intersections with real lives lived; a summer in rural Cambodia working with school aged children, drawing on their problem solving abilities, a survival skill learnt in a developing country, beholding one another and making visual evidence of shared identity in tandem. We celebrated strange questions and idiosyncratic obsessions, which provoked fruitful and surprising responses. Reaching out, folding in, celebrating abundance.
