Shelly E. Augsbury (SEA)

Shelly Augsbury, painting under her initials, SEA, has been in the creative arts all her life. Recipient of over 40 international, national, and regional advertising awards, she has now set her sites on the canvas.
Art runs in Shelly's family. You can say it's in their DNA. It all started a short time ago, when one day she woke up and said, "I need to paint." Shelly never pursued painting in her creative career, but why not? So she just picked up the paintbrush and started painting. And she hasn't stopped.
Shelly paints mostly in acrylic and on a large scale. She works fast (since she has no patience, but insists she is working on that) and enjoys the flexibility acrylic gives to her art. Her paintings typically highlight the female form, the beach, flowers, cars or anything that rolls. SEA paints her passions at the moment. And most of Shelly's pieces are whimsical, colorful, and either centered at the beach, Montana, or on the open road.
"If a painting doesn't make you smile, you're looking at the wrong one."

Carole Curtis

Carole was born and raised in New York City and her art reflects her life experiences as a native New Yorker, capturing the architecture of this dynamic, bold world.
Her acrylic paintings on canvas often suggest an industrialized, commercial, mercantile metropolis. In blurring the distinctions between what is real and what is imagined, her paintings suggest the city's structures and define and exploit the reflections and shadows that provide layers and definition to the work.
Her years of designing as a graphic artist influence her art and inform her work. She sees a raw energy and beauty that emanates from the interplay of light reflected on constructed shapes. These architectural patterns, lines and shadows - communicated through abstract design - project and convey her vision of the contemporary urban world.
