Meghan Anchukaitis: "The Box"

"I decided to take this project on because it was a step out of my comfort zone. I have never painted a box before or anything that wasn't a 2-D canvas, so this was new territory. To paint it and use only my imagination to fill up the blank sides was a fun type of struggle. My goal was to make a box that could take you anywhere your imagination would let you go and I know that is what I have here."

Nicole Elyse Young: "Instinct/Dreaming of You/Lucy" "This process for me has been enlightening and therapeutic. In a confusing and frustrating time, I was thankful for the opportunity to have a creative outlet. I thought a lot about what I like to draw and why. I find I have the most success when I sit down with a cup of coffee and no distractions. I gathered any materials I could find, including flashcards for paper and Tupperware lid as my pallet, and began to reflect on my subject matter. The more I made, the more I realized the materials are simply a device to explain my dreams in the physical world."  To read more about this artist and view the rest of the catalogue, visit heragallery.org and stay tuned for more artist features!
