KELLY DENATO

What inspires Kelly is the beauty of optimism, and its inherent tragedy, just before disappointment. Her paintings are marked by darkness as well as gleeful exuberance, creating a surreal and fluctuating world. Kelly’s painting technique is characterized by meticulous and tiny strokes layered on a textured background. Her colors are glistening and candy‐like. Her characters are often floating and tangled, drawn with a masterfully delicate illustrator’s hand and an eye for the whimsically sardonic.

LANA CROOKS

Lana Crooks loves the antique, the creepy, the cute, and the mysterious. She constructs creatures from fabrics and found objects, and is a purveyor of faux specimens and soft curiosities. She is sought after for her pattern‐making abilities, and has frequently been spotted teaming up with other artists to breathe three‐dimensional life into their illustrations. On an average day, you can find her in the studio surrounded by skulls, old books, model ships, faux fur, glass eyes, a menagerie of stuffed friends, and a cat named Tanuki.
