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.

BEXO paintings are collaborations of sisters Rexo Droppers and Betni Kalk. Kalk is a designer, painter, muralist, and graphic design professor. Droppers is a musician, photographer, and painter. Their first step is to create textured backgrounds with lots of drips and sprays to activate the acrylic. They tend to work on two to four paintings at once, going back and forth between them as they discuss next steps for the pieces. At times they add imagery; other times they feel the paintings are finished as purely abstract. Instagram: @bexopaintings.

After studying graphic design at Cloud County Community College in Concordia, he eventually moved to Manhattan, Kansas and found himself immersed in the local arts and culture.

JOY COTTON is a mixed-media artist based in Omaha, Nebraska. Cotton uses a combination of pencil, acrylic, watercolor, and oil to create paintings and murals. These works contain multiple layers of abstract and realistic forms through fashion and collage. In recent years, she has worked on projects with the Omaha Summer Arts Festival Cube Project, Benson First Fridays, Midtown Crossing Sunny Chair project, and Amplify Arts Alternate Currents Working Group 2022-2023/2024. Followed by published work in Next Soulmate Mag Issue 1 (New York, New York), The Gardyloo (Omaha, Nebraska), and American Civil Liberties Union Nebraska. She received her associate degree in general arts at Metropolitan Community College, and a BA in general studies from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Cotton's process of painting and drawing is all based on curiosity and experimentation. She approaches her work through three main elements: color, balance, and form. Similar to a three-way intersection, in her creative process she must arrive at a stop and observe no matter where she goes. What she sees impacts not only her, but also others in passing. When creating pieces, Cotton considers how nothing can take form into something. Her creations are active in the sense they are stories told through the views of imagination. The most important question she asks herself while observing a blank canvas is how does she make something she can only see in her mind, and what will others feel when it takes physical form?

Their work employs human figures in tandem with motifs of floodplain ecology (old growth cottonwoods, fallen trees, marshlands, color studies) to trigger powerful symbolic and ethnographic memories within the viewer. Shared memory is a pillar of the psychological health of a human ecosystem, and from this both we and the natural world may benefit.

These projects have expanded into immersive installations and interactive public artworks. These works were created for Shadows Searching for Light, at Edward Hopper House Museum in Nyack, New York.

EDUARDO GARDEA is a suggestive and impressionistic artist. Born in Texas, Gardea was raised in Nebraska, which influences his works. Utilizing a contemporary art foundation, Gardea's strength as a self-taught artist has enabled him to communicate modern and historic stories of personal and societal struggle and victory. Using a variety of mediums, Gardea summons a collective of ongoing ideas and feelings within the viewer.
Gardea specializes in creating what it means to bear witness to the untold stories of the underrepresented. Creating new perspectives of what he's seen or lived through, he challenges viewers to discover their unique place within a greater narrative. Using a range of mediums, his intention lies in updating the narrative of those who have been denied involvement in mainstream economic, political, cultural, and social activities. The modern day experiences of cycles of oppression, human migration, failures of democracy, success and struggles are more than the surface impressions of worn out narratives.

She received a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting and drawing from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2023 and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in studio art at Concordia University, Nebraska in 2019.

ANN PAPE was born and raised in Omaha. She has explored various art forms: photography, ceramics, fiber arts, and watercolor, which led her to oil painting. She studied under Nancy Beal Meyer in Omaha and for the past twenty years has studied under many nationally recognized artists through Scottsdale Art School in Arizona.
"A painting begins with an emotion, whether it comes from a memory, a conversation, or the sun and shade fighting over a shiny drainpipe. To me, colors have feelings and shapes and have a story to tell. Scribbles, words, and icons are the archeology of a piece. Some I allow to peek out for the viewer, yet many are my secrets hidden in the finished painting. I like the challenge of both plein air and large studio pieces and the way they inform each other."

"Moving between two- and three-dimensional forms, I am constructing paintings and sculpture with repetition of forms and layer by layer. There are three main bodies of work I'm creating that are nature-inspired from landscapes, seed shapes, and organic forms. I am exploring the theme of nature's cycles through photo-based paintings, circular wall installations, and organic sculpture using steel wire and pleated aluminum. I am working to develop scale, geometry, spatial relationships, texture, and color. These works embrace the textural properties of encaustic (beeswax, pigment, and damar resin) paintings and sculpture with translucency and dimensionality. Strong physical elements come from layering and repeating organic forms."

COLIN SMITH's paintings and sculpture expand the conventions of painting. Beginning with the joys of material, color, and the graphic image, Smith's newest works are aggressive, buoyant, and difficult to classify. The wall works reference minimal painting and expressionism, yet their colors and forms are fully contemporary. The floor sculptures are playful and casual, yet their offhandedness belies a rigorous process and intentional mark making. Smith is interested in making works that charge retinal and interior spaces. They move when you squint and can throw you off-balance if you get too close. His abstractions have a liveliness and spirit that is rare in contemporary painting, particularly in works that contain such a restrained and focused bag of tricks. Smith received his BFA in 1988 from the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) and his MFA in 1992 from Drake University. He teaches at UNO.

MICHAEL TEGLAND's artwork is deeply rooted in several cultural influences, especially his own Norse and Germanic heritage. This may account for his work's black on black palette and images of both obscure and familiar figures embedded or flowing in a web of geometric patterns. Tegland attended the University of Nebraska Omaha, where he studied fine arts. Equally influential was Tegland's thirty-year stint as chief preparator at Joslyn Art Museum. The artist credits this experience in art management for the delicate attention to detail appreciated in his work. He primarily uses graphite and latex on panel and is based out of Omaha, Nebraska. Tegland's artwork resides in numerous private and public collections, including the private collection of the Sheldon Museum of Art, Lincoln, Nebraska. He is represented by Modern Arts Midtown.

ROBIN ZAGURSKI works with oil and cold wax, encaustic, and ceramics. She is based in Omaha and has a Masters of Social Work from University of Nebraska Omaha.
"As a therapist, I make art as a means to find a moment of stillness after a week of listening to other people's stories. I love painting, not only for the end product, but also for the suspension of time that happens during what Mihaly Csikszentmihaly describes as "flow state." Sometimes when I paint, the paint just seems to find its own way onto the canvas as though I am just the intermediary. My focus is often on water or sky, both elements that nourish us as humans."
