Artist Spotlight 3: Amber Hansen and Andres Torres

Amber Hansen and Andres Torres will be mentioned simultaneously because both of their first names start with A, their last names are comprised of the same number of  letters and the second to the last letter within both of their first and last names is e.

Andres Torres makes wondrous colorful worlds that you can climb into. The only problem is that sometimes you don't come back.

The works of Amber Hansen resonate with a profound evaluation of the relationship between the self and it's self and it's selves and society.

Artist Spotlight 2: Nicholas Ward and Stacey Evangelista

Together these two spotlit artists create a vast spectrum. Stacey and Nick are a great example of the philosphical diversity of the Take the day. artists.

metaphysical drumroll please.....

The infinitely creative and often times zaney Nicholas Ward is a stop-motion artist, a painter, a guy who makes drawings, a decent poet, and the list goes on and on. For as long as I've known him, Nick has always inspired us to think outside of our boxes. Thank you Nick. I'll leave it there. Here is a vimeo link to 3 of his stop-motion pieces. They're amazing. http://www.vimeo.com/user3447479

The expressive meditations of Stacey Evangelista reveal her intricate relationship with the world around her. Her still-lives, figures and her plein air landscrapes vibrate with appreciation, holding moments and memories in contemplative and optimistic arms. Her observations seem to contain a similar amount of detail as a memory, and make me feel as though I'm remembering something that I don't remember. Strange huh?  They're beautiful. Heres a link to Stacey's web site. http://www.staceyevangelista.blogspot.com/

Thank you Nicholas. Thank you Stacey.
