ARTISTS
John Lee, Painting
Kelner Gallery
John Lee describes himself as a responsive painter. Working primarily in oil paint, Lee works to unify color divisions in his explorations of interior spaces, still lifes, and self portraits. Finding exhilaration in landscapes and colors as they naturally appear, Lee aims to not only capture the landscapes in their truth, but also translate the feelings of inspiration he experienced to the viewer.
Chantal Westby, Sculpture
Book Room Gallery
Chantal Westby is a French-American visual artist, born in northern France. She lets her artwork and life influence and harmonize with each other, finding inspiration through observation, ideation, and extensive questioning. Westby uses her art as a language in itself, communicating and expressing the richness she finds in life and the world around her, as well as using her art as a tool to raise awareness on important issues, like global warming.
Kim Keller, Photography
