Cesar Santos


Painter Cesar Santos work has been seen around the world. Santos’ work reflects both classical and modern interpretations. His influences include the Renaissance and the masters of the nineteenth century to Contemporary Art. He aspires to show images that transmit the impression of paintings of the past, but are imbued with contemporary, fresh concepts as well as my own personal philosophy. His artistic energy drives him to arrange elusive figures and objects in conceptual designs, yet rendering them in a believable and convincing way.

Jim Kazanjian


  The Portland-based photographer Jim Kazanjian captivates viewers with the scenery in his pieces. Words from the artist " I am interested in a kind of ‘entropic’ image an image that has the capacity to de-familiarize itself. My current work is an attempt to unravel the photograph and play with established notions of time and space, notwithstanding our understanding of what gives things context. Through fragmentation and re-composition of the photographic space, the non-linear nature of reading the image is folded in on itself. The structure of the photograph is unwound and reshuffled. This reshaping is an iterative process that spurs a generation of something altogether different; something ineffable."

Jennifer Cronin


Jennifer Cronin is a painter that works out of Chicago, Illinois. Here is a statement from her describing her work "It can be difficult to remain interested, excited, engaged, and true to oneself amidst the backdrop of routine, everyday life.  My most recent work is about personal fantasy and escape amidst everyday experience.  It is a reimagining of everyday life, based on often small, seemingly insignificant frustrations.  A playful rumination on the little things, the subtleties, which can fill our lives for better or worse.  Growths of the seeds of worry, fear, amusement, and minor upsets.  Fruitless daydreams.  It is about what a mind does with what it is given."

The Work of Lee Jeffries


Lee Jeffries is a urban photographer. A quote about the artist's work, "If you will forgive my indulgence, This work is most definitely NOT photojournalism. Nor is it intended as portraiture. It's religious or spiritual iconography. It's powerful stuff. Jeffries gave these people something more than personal dignity. He gave them a light in their eyes that depicts transcendence, a glimmer of light at the gates of Eden, so to speak".

Chris Musina




Chris Musina is a Canadian artist whose work focuses on animal representation, specifically its darker aspects. A quote from the artist  " I am obsessed with things like terror management theory, ecofacism, and post-humanities. I feel a tinge of both excitement and disgust when I experience garbage in otherwise pristine wilderness. I appreciate the aesthetics of macabre opulence and gruesome realities, and love places where darkness intersects with beauty and weird humor. It is from this vantage point that I think about our relationships with animals, and our animal selves."
