STEPHEN DINSMORE is a Nebraska-born artist whose paintings display the importance of representational art in expressing a visual poetry. His work can be found in public and private collections both nationally and internationally. "When you get it right, a painting has something of the sublime. A vitality that is a marriage of color and light, mystery and joy, longing and beauty."
Dinsmore paints from studios in Nebraska, Maine and Florida. "For me, painting means being always on the lookout for an image that excites. The creamy light of late afternoon on the landscape; the abstract beauty of marks on the side of a train car; new snow that reshapes all it touches; an interior filled with color and reverie; the riveting beauty of a vase of flowers; a fly fisherman in shadow; a disregarded corner of town; a found image. I try to make a painting that has something of the magic and mystery of the thing; the alchemy; the thing that excites."

RAMON GUZMAN is an Nebraska-based artist.
"As an artist rooted in Nebraska, I have spent over a decade immersed in the boundless world of creativity. Each piece I create is a reflection of my unwavering passion, a pursuit to inspire smiles, joy, and a sense of wonder through self-expression that encourages me to find the extraordinary in the everyday. While I embrace various mediums, I have found a profound connection to the tactile nature of woodwork and the raw energy of spray paint. These materials allow me to channel my inner vision with freedom and precision, transforming ideas into tangible expressions that speak directly to the soul. My mission is simple yet powerful: to evoke joy, spark wonder, and share a slice of my world with others. Through each brushstroke, curve, and burst of color, I strive to create moments of connection and joy, where viewers can pause, smile, and perhaps see the world through a slightly brighter lens."

NEDDO is a multidisciplinary artist working in painting, sculpture, and mixed media. With a background in international relations and philosophy, they spent years dissecting the world's problems with logic before deciding to make art about them instead. Their work explores socio-political contradictions, ethical dilemmas, queer identity, and the endlessly reinterpreted feminine form. Drawing on personal experience and academic residue, Neddo approaches complex themes with a wry edge, challenging viewers to think critically (or at least feel mildly uncomfortable). This sculptural piece challenges reductive societal narratives surrounding queerness and damnation. Using the tension of twisted aluminum wire and the delicacy of embroidery thread, Neddo weaves a defiant, humorous, and introspective commentary on identity, rebellion, and societal condemnation.

JOSEPH PANKOWSKI investigates time through sequences in drawings and paintings. What is time and how does it work is infinitely fascinating to Pankowski.
"These image sequences can be read as-is, stationary key poses of a form changing, but they are usually digitally animated. Working on how to make something look like it is moving, transforming, evolving, really helps you see time. Time and sequence are these things that allows you to walk around something and see it from multiple sides, explain an idea from beginning to end, or express a transformation. It takes time to change, to move from this to that."

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 University of Nebraska Omaha.

To complete a typical piece using this method, it takes as many as four days to a week and dozens of passes of markers and pens.
