Adriana Pineda, a Latina artist from Miami, Florida, discovered her passion for the arts in childhood. At Westwood Christian School, she garnered multiple awards in the Fine Art Competition for Christian Schools (FACCS). After moving to Fayetteville, Arkansas, she pursued studies in Graphic Design, Spanish, Italian, and German at the University of Arkansas before transitioning to focus solely on her art.
In 2020, Adriana launched her art brand, Art by AMP. In the subsequent years, she debuted at her first art reception, and later used art as a means to navigate through postpartum anxiety and depression. This period marked the genesis of three collections showcased in local venues, alongside her exploration of live painting. Drawing from her vibrant Miami roots, characterized by bold colors and expressive brush strokes, Adriana engaged audiences at events like Railyard Live concerts and local gatherings.
Christian Scott Perry is a mixed media artist who lives in Rogers, Arkansas. His "Canvas Assassin" project involves compositions of found objects and fabrics applied to canvas and wood panels. Christian finds a spiritual link between discarded items and emotions. Materials, along with memories and traumas, are explored and re-purposed in cathartic abstraction. His artwork forces us to view everyday items as corridors to our subconscious.
Christian started creating art at an early age with encouragement from his mother. He is heavily inspired by humanity's relationship with nature and technology. As a child he spent a lot of time playing in the woods and creating his own imaginary worlds. His mixed media style emerged during a college painting class in 2004. Christian began building canvases and experimenting with found objects. He has sold and exhibited artwork professionally since 2005.
So I’m Jo, don't get me wrong I love my full name Joelie, but no one knows how to pronounce that (it’s supposed to be Joel-ee not Jo Lee) and growing up in Fayetteville taught me to get over it, people will always want it to be a southern double name. So I’m Jo (they/she) (them/her) and I’m a creative! Born in Lawrence, Kansas but moved to Fayetteville at 5, so I say I’m a Fayetteville native, and I’ve been to 6 schools here including the University of Arkansas where I currently study Graphic Design, at least until May! Am I ready to ‘be a real adult’? No, but I have been wishing to grow up my entire life! My family said I was born 40, and I’ve always had an issue with finding my people because apparently, I’m an old soul. I can’t remember a time I wasn’t creating or crafting and yes I’m hoping to do it full-time as a professional designer, but habitual tactility is my true love!
Multimedia collaging is my favorite, and post-grad I hope to finish all my in-progress works! Sometimes they start as paintings that I glue things to, and sometimes they’re just paper on paper on paper. Even though I’m a notorious planner, usually the piece guides my hands through what needs to be said, and I love to let it. The rest of my collages are on my studio page @joeliedesigns along with some design projects and my creative explorations. Let’s be friends, I need more art nights with people who just get it!
We will have hours soon.... We promise :)
