Nicole McNamara
I create art for women who are done pretending. My paintings are emotional landscapes—bold, raw, and quietly powerful—made for anyone in the middle of their own becoming. This work isn’t about being perfect; it’s about being true.
C.J. Wenninger
The Great Crane Wave
Folded origami cranes, rice paper and acrylic paint have been combined to create an "origami mosaic" in an homage to Hokusai's The Great Wave Off Kanagawa.
This artist is passionate about exploring the boundaries between fine art and multimedia works.
A one-of-a-kind piece, there is nothing else like this currently in existence.
