Omaha's MADS ANDERSON likes to think of his work as a basis for sparking visual conversations, ones that engage viewers in dialogues about organization amid chaos-and vice versa. Anderson has always been fascinated by life's inherent dualities: the secure sameness that guides our everyday lives despite the underlying reality that anything, and everything, can change in an instant. Yet this chaos is in itself a constant, an unpredictability we can predict with absolute certainty. Through his paintings and sculptures, Anderson seeks to address this duality. He combines color, pattern, and line into fluidly dynamic compositions in which each stroke and mark-no matter how small and apparently inconsequential-is unequivocally integral to the whole. Each part speaks to another, each one echoing, answering, questioning, and provoking endless responses and counter responses. These are the visual conversations Anderson hopes to start, ones that he hopes are equally thoughtful, challenging, perplexing, and playful-and perhaps even a little maddening.

JO ARCHULETA is a painter living in Kansas City, Missouri. Archuleta's work explores the mythology of womanhood and the complexity of identity. She is interested in exploring leisure, desire, pleasure, and "the specificity as a state of being." The bodies, figures, and spaces in her paintings are inherently idiosyncratic, which celebrates not only the painstaking way the works are made, but also the uneasy cultural position they occupy. She is interested in the complexity within the vapidness of beauty, vanity, and ego. These figures often find themselves in states of repose, and she feels that it's her position to critically celebrate and criticize the history of that trope. The hyper-feminine, overtly masculine power relationship in pastoral and nude painting is ever present in her work and research. She received her BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute.

JUSTIN BELLER is a mixed-media artist known for work that represents both the physicality of space and the metaphysics of dreamlike states. In his paintings and wall installations he uses vertical and horizontal lines, blocks of colors, abstract freeforms, and geometric shapes to distill the essence of earth, sky, and water and to open closed interior surroundings. Movement, form, freedom, and time are integral components of his work, and they all combine to expand and extend confined interior spaces.
In his paintings, Beller replicates smooth, water-like surfaces and boundless, open skies to absorb viewers into quieter, more contemplative worlds that, while focusing them in the present, go beyond limited time constraints. His elongated freestanding sculptures and tapered wall installations similarly create the illusion of greater openness by bringing viewers' gazes upwards and outwards. The overall effect creates greater spatial awareness and a deeper appreciation of our immediate surroundings, ones that are ultimately as intimate as they are boundless.
Frequently commissioned by private collectors as well as corporate and small businesses, Beller maintains a one-man studio in Benson, one of Omaha's fastest expanding arts districts. Beller is represented by Moberg Gallery in Des Moines, Iowa and eAurora in Chicago, Illinois.

HANA BROCK is an Omaha-based oil painter whose practice focuses on how architecture and forgotten spaces can act as a mirror of human emotions, influencing feelings of grief, loneliness, and abandonment. Her attraction to liminal spaces stems from the fact that they are created for the purpose of human use. As time passes and people move on, the space remains, being left behind with a collection of memories. These unknowable histories inspire Brock to see structures as living, silently existing, and observing how we interact with them. Capturing these structures at night, stripped of human interaction, and incorporating artificial light is her way of further enhancing our connection to spaces.
Brock has an associate degree in fine art from McCook Community College and a BFA from University of Nebraska Omaha. Since 2023, she has been a studio assistant for Mary Zicafoose.

RICHARD CHUNG (b. 1977, Honolulu, Hawaii) grew up in the California Bay Area. He received a bachelor's degree in studio art from the University of California, Berkeley, under the mentorship of Richard Shaw in 2001. Soon after college, Chung moved to Omaha, Nebraska, to work with renowned ceramic artist Jun Kaneko. During his time at Jun Kaneko Studio, he continued to develop and produce artwork, began showing his work through galleries, and received commissions from recognized public collections. His first solo show was in 2017 at the RNG Gallery in Council Bluffs. Chung continues to produce and exhibit work. His work is included in numerous private and public collections. As a ceramic artist, Chung's body of work consists of several series that he has developed over many years. His figurative work explores human emotions and connections, striving to convey their essence through the medium of clay. The Motion Series examines the transient nature of existence, inspired by his fascination with how time manifests and shapes our lives. Through these pieces, he aims to reflect the ever-changing human experience in its various moments. The dynamic lines in this series highlight the impermanence and constant motion inherent in life. The Figure Series delves into the lives of everyday people, and is a personal exploration where Chung seeks to convey our shared narratives. Rather than focusing on intricate details, He attempts to capture the liveliness and gestures that define the human experience. This approach allows him to highlight the broader aspects of human interaction and emotion. Chung's Smaller Works serve as experimental studies, offering him the freedom to explore color and surface treatments. They act as a playground for testing new ideas and techniques, contributing to the evolution of his larger works. Glaze Paintings, a recently developed series, recontextualizes traditional 2-D painting by using colored glazes as the primary medium. The imagery in these pieces are crafted entirely with glaze, showcasing the versatility and richness of this material. This approach reflects Chung's exploration of possibilities within ceramic art. All Chung's work is created solely using ceramic materials, occasionally employing epoxy to join larger pieces together.

DEREK COURTNEY is a mixed-media artist living and working in Omaha, Nebraska. His abstract, mixed-media paintings draw from his personal experiences as a blue collar worker, displaced hillbilly, and borderline alcoholic. He relies heavily on layering elements and materials to transform and obfuscate his images until they cannot be seen in any representational way. Objects and figures are mutated to both obscure literal meaning and create alternate versions.

IAN ETTER (b. Elmendorf AFB, Alaska) draws inspiration from the designs adorning classical Greek vases, with their intricate patterns and minimalist palette, which find support in the mathematical underpinnings governing their design. Proportional relationships and geometric configurations serve as the guiding foundation, ensuring a harmonious interplay of surface and form. Recognizing the inherent power of these principles, he harnesses and expands upon them. Etter begins these drawings by combining digital sketches and AI-generated imagery, then layers, merges, and reduces them to a single image. He faithfully re-renders the digital compositions on paper using colored pencil and ink. The duality of the exterior silhouette and soft interior geometry serves as a visual bridge between the fluidity of touch and the precision of the depicted subject. At the heart of Etter's creative exploration lies a refined appreciation of the power of simplicity. He reduces his compositions to their essential elements through sparse yet deliberate frameworks. In his practice, Etter aspires to foster an engaging visual dialogue that transcends temporal boundaries and seamlessly weaves the past and the present together.
Etter received his MFA in Drawing and Intermedia from the University of Iowa in 2013. His work has been included in group shows at Tiger Strikes Asteroid in Brooklyn, New York, the Wassaic Project in Wassaic, New York, Ortega y Gasset Projects in Brooklyn, New York, Spring/Break Art Show in New York, New York, Collar Works in Troy, New York, with solo shows at Practice Gallery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Legion Arts in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Etter's drawings were featured in the Spring Issue 17 2020 of Art Maze Mag and included in multiple registries including White Columns in New York, New York, TSA in Brooklyn, New York, and Ortega y Gasset in Brooklyn, New York. His curatorial projects have been exhibited at Spring/Break art show for multiple years and featured on ARTNews.com. Etter has contributed writings to White Hot Magazine, Dovetail Magazine, The Coastal Post and catalogs published through the University of California and Locate Arts.

CATHERINE FERGUSON's work is featured in public and private collections across the region, including major Nebraska museums such as the Sheldon Museum of Art in Lincoln, the Museum of Nebraska Art, the University of Nebraska at Omaha, the Landmarks building, and the Omaha Public Library Main Branch. Ferguson is particularly well known for installations that are transcendent and transformative, and critics have noted the idealistic and often mythical quality intrinsic to her work. In the 2005 January/February issue of NY Arts Magazine, Kim Carpenter praised Ferguson's ability for "deftly weaving symbols universally inherent in myth, memory, mysticism, and metaphysics." And in the March 2007 edition of Review Magazine, Mike Krainak noted her "marvelous temple figures" and stated, "Ferguson's work certainly continues to be uplifting for both her and her viewer." Ferguson has also worked within the community to benefit the visual arts. She served six years as a board member for the Nebraska Arts Council and until recently also served on the board for Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, an organization consistently listed in the top five of the nation's artist-in-residency programs. In 2018 at Modern Arts Midtown, Ferguson exercised her diversity and vision in large-scale steel sculpture, delicate wall relief wire motifs, and miniature cut-outs of her "All My People Series."

"The amount of DNA you overlap with your siblings can be so revealing, the percentages vary quite a bit. Close relationships don't always map to DNA shared. Haplogroups are akin to the original tribes of humans from different parts of the globe. And if you get very nerdy you can look up all those 2nd, 3rd and 4th cousins who you share NDA and map the tiny percentage overlaps for each chromosome."

JUSTIN N. KIM is a Korean-born painter who currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California. Kim paints color field paintings, maps, and circuit boards visualizing melded relationships and connections found within man-made subject matters and surroundings. Some of his latest work expands into an illustrative-graphic style. Kim is published in Create Magazine Issue #43 and Friend of the Artist Volume 15. The Maps series aims to look for how things work as they are intended and designed, to investigate why rules and agreements exist within society. More based on problem-solving than the philosophical, this notion is best represented in computer chips and the grid system. At the same time, the series welcomes and accepts the chaos and accidents that are part of the human experience, reminding the viewers that there is no such thing as perfection.

PAUL MPAGI SEPUYA's unconventional portraits and other studio-based photographs explore the artist's relationship between himself and the camera, sexuality, friendship, and the space of the studio, which are intertwined and radically dependent on each other. Through his explorations, Sepuya opens up his world to the viewer, leaning into the dust and smudge marks that lay on a mirror, or adding bodies to the space with work prints pinned to the walls. Cameras play a central role, reflected back at the viewer while they focus on the formal yet playful performance of bodies within Sepuya's space. These photographs not only offer a glimpse into the tenderness that exists between artist and sitter, but also underscore the presence of Black, brown, and queer bodies within the work.

THERMAN STATOM is a sculptor/painter most notably known as a pioneer of the contemporary glass movement for his life-size glass ladders, chairs, tables, constructed box-like paintings, and small-scale houses-all created through the technique of gluing glass plates together. Sandblasted surfaces become a canvas for spontaneous vibrant colors and line work, which take nuances from Abstract Expressionism and concepts of Minimalism, while simultaneously incorporating a twist by using blown-glass elements and found objects. Throughout his career, public artworks have been permanently installed at prominent locations including the Los Angeles Public Library, Corning, Inc. Headquarters, the Mayo Clinic, San Jose Ice Center, the Toledo Museum of Art, and the Jepson Center for the Arts in the Telfair Museum, Savannah as well as several hospitals across the country. His artwork appears in numerous exhibitions annually, including solo and group shows around the nation and internationally. Statom has completed over thirty large, site-specific installations. Most notably, his 2009 solo exhibition, Stories of the New World at the Orlando Museum of Art, spanned over 7,000 square feet and has been his largest installation to date. Much of the latter half of Statom's career has been focused on the importance of educational programming within the arts. He has taken a deep interest in employing workshops as a catalyst for social change and in effect, positively impacting a community. Statom studied at Pilchuck Glass School, received a BFA from Rhode Island School Of Design, and later studied at the Pratt Institute of Art & Design.

PATTY TALBERT holds a BFA in studio art.
"I celebrate my vibrant and colorful heritage with all its glory of patterns and textures and geometric form which innately exudes from me. My work is inspired by techniques used in batiking. When the elements of batiking are translated onto wood or canvas, there is a layering of different colors, patterns, and textures. The relationship between these three elements create a unique harmony within the elements of each design. Through the years, my work has changed and evolved, giving me a sense of purpose and a vehicle to express my feelings and desires. My style of painting has allowed me to encompass methods of expression utilized by my ancestors and adds a modern relevance to my growth as a proud black female artist. Through my work I have created three layers of stimulation by using layers of colors, textures and lines within each design. Your eye stimulation is my inspiration. I am exploring what happens with lines and within lines of colors because the way colors change next to another color excites me."
Talbert's recent exhibitions include the group exhibit Centered from the Reuben Saunders Gallery at 1516 Gallery, 2024. She presently has work in the display window at Anderson O'Brien. Recent awards include 2022 Artist of the Year, 2023 Outstanding Group exhibit Ebb and Flow, and Outstanding public art for Peace Mural.

BEVERLY TODD's art playfully dances with color & movement. Her large-scale abstract painting process is physical, using hardware store brushes, broken sticks, rags, and hands to drip, scrape, wipe, and pull paint across surfaces. She works in acrylic, oil, soft wax, and with paper. Growing up in rural Nebraska, Todd often escaped into the landscape-happily lost for hours in the open prairie that inspires her work. She began painting in Santa Fe in 2018. To give others that experience, she opened Santa Fe Artist Getaway in 2019, moving her art practice and arts-based teaching from Omaha to Santa Fe. Her coaching helps artists discover their potential and create their best art yet. She leads workshops in abstract expressionism, encouraging artists to paint big, free, and expressive. She also leads arts-based team building workshops for non-artists. Her art is in permanent collections at the University of Nebraska, Albrecht-Kemper Museum, and Wilson Performing Arts Center.
