Brian Billow’s artistic style is described as organic contemporary.  He uses acrylic paints, plaster, acid oxidized paints, metal leaf and a molten metals process that he developed to create works that range from landscapes and representational to abstract. The use of acid washed metallic paints creates the timelessness of rust and patina, but used in these designs and in conjunction with the molten metals they reflect the contemporary feel of the modern world. www.bbmsart.com

Lane  Dukart draws his inspiration from the natural beauty that surrounds him.

Utilizing  stoneware clay, each piece is individually cast and hand-carved with  original designs, reflecting the environment and culture of the  Mountainous Southwest. Lane applies only natural oxides to accentuate  the clay’s inherent earthy tones and textures. The dur­able stoneware  clay is then fired to over 2,000 degrees (F), making it impervious to  the elements of nature and able to withstand rain, snow and wind.

“Outstanding Emerging Artist“ award winner!

Outstanding Emerging Artist winner goes to Ray Goodluck 

Ray Goodluck draws inspiration from animals he grew up around and from his ancestors. From Ray - "Yáh áh tééh. That is greetings in my Native language. I am from the Navajo Nation. My clan is the 'Mud People' and born for the 'One who walks around one'.

Before painting, Ray was an iron worker out of Local 40 in New York City, where he was the first and only Navajo. In April 2019, Ray was working on the new Raiders stadium in Las Vegas, when he was injured on the job site. This injury led to him becoming wheel chair bound, stuck at home frustrated, &  having nothing to do but watch TV. In May of the same year his girlfriend saw this frustration and left out a painting set she had got him at Christmas. She hoped it would give him something to focus his time on and ease his frustration while in rehab.

It worked. From this point on, Ray has spent all of his time painting and focusing his attention on making great pieces of art. Ray’s work has already been featured in the “Native American Art” magazine, as well as, a three page feature in “Western Art Collector”.

As a self  taught artist, Ray is starting to realized his life's passion.

Tina Hoffer is a unique woodworker by blending two of natures alluring elements; wood and stone. Tina  creates functional, culinary accessories with her Cutting Boards, Gathering  Boards, Serving Platters and Dipping Trays that will elevate your daily or  special occasions. 

Tina meticulously searches through  arborists’ wood lots looking for the perfectly flawed, cracked and knot  filled hardwoods that other woodworkers pass by because of these  deficits. She chooses smaller pieces of wood that will be enhanced with  Stone like turquoise, lapis, malachite or chrysocolla, and inlays these  into the cracks and voids. She follows the Kintsugi method of Japanese art , where broken and fractured pottery is mended with gold  or silver dust, there by restoring the fragments to a functional and more  beautiful piece.  http://knotswoodandstone.com/
