Kathryn Dart

Visual Arts: Mixed Media, Painting, Photography, Sculpture, Works on paper

I am a visual artist working primarily with beeswax. However, I have a hard time defining myself as an encaustic artist, a painter, or a sculptor; my artwork exists in a space between these categories and is not limited by them. I make art simply because of a deeply personal drive to create, express, and share. The more time I spend focused on my art practice, the more I come to see the world from a different vantage point – one that continually sees creative potential in my surroundings. I make art about relationships and community to synthesize my experience with life and the people around me. Sharing this perspective with others is the payoff for creating art. I want to make art that engages, that provokes thought, that starts conversation. My loftiest goal would be that my work would have an impact on others, whether small or large, on an individual or a community.

Tashema Davis

Visual Arts: Painting

I grew up in projects of Gary Indiana, but I somehow truly enjoyed my life and my surroundings. I often find myself creating pieces that remind me of home and the times of my childhood. I left Gary in 2000 to attend Ball State University where I received a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design. After a few months I realized that was not my passion, so I returned to Ball State for graduate studies. I received my Masters in art and a license to teach art 2010. I’ve been teaching various art courses at Marion High School in Marion Indiana since 2011 and I absolutely love teaching art! Along with teaching art, I am also the sponsor of the Marion High School art club, sit on the advisory board for the art and writing scholastics of the Fort Wayne museum of art, book illustrator, and do community beautification projects. The ultimate purpose for my art is to be an expression of all things beautiful and meaningful in life. I believe art transcends the typical and doesn’t always dwell in the realm of just color, line, and form. Art is also composed of higher thought, in the divine commission to help others become better, and to spread peace.

Julie Davis Veach

Graphic Arts; Multi Arts; Performing Arts: Dance; Visual Arts: Functional and/or Decorative, Graphic Arts, Illustration, Media and Visual Communications, Mixed Media, Murals, New Media/Technology, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, Visual Arts Instructor, Works on paper

I am an abstract expressionist artist. I primarily use water-based media because of the versatility and freedom they provide. I explore art’s healing potential. I choose to express states of being that inspire self-reflection, joy, healing, gratitude, and connection. I decided to become a full-time artist in 2019 but I’ve been creative for much of my life. Some of the great artists of our past including Claude Monet, Joan Mitchell, Frida Khalo, and Gustav Klimt are inspirations for my process. In every painting, my objective is to use color as a tool for self-evaluation and healing. I want my work to be both confronting and comforting. I am inspired by nature, and the ability it has to heal and connect us all. With the information age upon us, at times, there is an imbalance ofs hyper-connectivity and yet loneliness all at once. We can always return back to art, however, for solace and reflection. Art for me is a reminder of my humanity, my connection to all that is, and my power to choose how I want to feel and how I want to create my life. No matter how busy and chaotic life around me may feel, my mental health requires me to stop what I’m doing and enjoy making art on a regular basis. I want people to feel that soul connection when they look at my work. I want them to feel the promise of a brighter future. we can make a positive difference in our world- for ourselves and each other. This is why I paint and this is why I am an artist today.

I’ve been illustrating professionally since 2011, having been an in-house artist for a major publishing company for over 2 years. In 2013, I decided to broaden my horizons and go the freelance route! I’m also a member of the Society of Children’s Books Writers & Illustrators. When I’m not drawing, you’ll normally find me running along the Monon Trail (except in the winter!), enjoying a good book and hot beverage at Calvin Fletcher’s Coffee Company, or cheering on my beloved Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse!
