These three artists take inspiration from the world around them and bring to it imagination and their own unique perspectives. Chris Newberg’s aesthetic is illustrative, and his paintings often revolve around humanity’s relationship with nature, the mystery and power of all life, and appreciation of certain human places. Lydia Quinones creates art through textiles, painting, and ceramics. Her works often encompass Asian and Native American themes. “Local Color” features her sculptures of animals. Patricia Turpin’s art is inspired by the complexity of the natural world. Using found and created objects, Patricia layers and meshes sights, textures, and colors to shape new creations. Strong drawing skills allow her to incorporate realistic images into her fantastical imagery
