RAMON GUZMAN's artwork is inspired by a simple goal: to bring people a moment of joy, curiosity, or relief from everyday routines. While he works with many materials, wood and spray paint remain his favorites. Wood offers an organic, tactile quality, while spray paint adds energy, movement, and vibrant color. His process is often intuitive, responding to the material and allowing the work to evolve naturally. Color plays a central role in every piece, whether bold and energetic or subtle and reflective. Above all, Guzman strives to create accessible, playful artwork that encourages viewers to pause, connect, and leave with a brighter outlook, even if only for a moment.

GEE NEDDO is an Omaha-based artist working across sculpture, watercolor, and gardening. Their practice exists in conversation with both the spaces their work inhabits and the questions they can't seem to leave alone. Watercolor serves as an exercise in attention: painting what is directly in front of them as a way of returning to the present. Sculpture, by contrast, is where persistent questions are given physical form. Sometimes those questions concern queerness, inherited expectations, motherhood, rage, or the persistent suspicion that making art might require a level of self-importance they haven't yet agreed to possess. Other times, the answer is simply to make a silly little guy. Both approaches feel equally necessary.

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 and his MFA in 1992 from Drake University. He teaches at University of Nebraska Omaha.

MARY ANN STRANDELL is a painter of note. Her work examines the intersection of nature and technology in our participation with society. Combining places and objects as content markers, she considers the collapse of historic space between the baroque, modernism, and the post-modern. These subjects are explored with drawing, painting, and 3D lenticular media. Works begin as singular paintings and evolve into 3D lenticular. Its hypnagogic complex montage system translates hand-drawn images into a language of glitch, with interwoven optical fabrications. Strandell's BFA is from the University of South Dakota; her MA and MFA are from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. Her work has been exhibited and written about widely. She has received numerous grants, residencies, and awards, including the NEA in Midwest Painting Arts, an Arts and Humanities Grant, a Geraldine R. Dodge Fellowship Grant, and a 2025 Arts in Public Places Commission, Miami.

MICHAEL TEGLAND is an artist living in Omaha, NE. Tegland's textural graphite drawings on matte black panels are deeply rooted in several cultural influences, especially his own Norse and Germanic past. This may account for his works' black-on-black palette and images of both obscure and familiar figures embedded in a web of geometric patterns. His imagery varies from Celtic elements and Maori tattoos to extraterrestrial crop circles. His meticulous mark-making, as well as tonal variations from clay to metal, invite one to explore the exterior as both mirror and window. 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. A full-time artist, Tegland's work resides in numerous private and public collections in the United States and Europe, including the permanent collection of the Sheldon Museum of Art.

BEVERLY TODD's art is a joyful leap into the "what if?"-painted with pure wonder and a fearless "let's see!" attitude. Her canvases pulse with raw energy, built through a deeply physical process: manipulating acrylics, oils, and mixed media with hardware store brushes, broken sticks, and her own hands to create dynamic layers and unexpected texture. Inspired by the open prairies of her Nebraska upbringing and now rooted in the high desert of Santa Fe, Todd's work embraces childlike curiosity and the unconventional. Since moving her practice to New Mexico in 2018, she has shared this energy through Santa Fe Artist Getaway-coaching artists to discover their potential and lead with big, free, expressive painting. Her work is held in collections at the University of Nebraska, Albrecht-Kemper Museum, Wilson Performing Arts Center, and Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado, and is featured in the publication Wild Lands.
