The integration of quasi architectural and natural landscapes forms the spine of my social, historical and political commentary. Neoexpressiinism is my sphere of operation. It suits my temperament. This genre also accurately reflects the distorted paradigm in which we live.

Amy O’Hearn is a New Orleans, Louisiana artist who works from her home studio. Amy uses a meditative and intuitive approach in her paintings. She thrives on the risk and spontaneity of not having a plan before starting to paint, she simply clears her mind and lets the colors and the brush take her away. Amy finds it very fulfilling when other people interpret her art, noticing things she hadn’t intended. She often names her paintings after the visions others see.

Amy finds it very fulfilling when other people interpret her art, noticing things she hadn’t intended. She often names her paintings after the visions others see.
Amy has always been interested in art, especially drawing and painting. She enjoyed being in the Art program during high school and continued to draw and paint after her graduation in 1999. Her favorite memory of that time was drawing tattoos for her shipmates when she joined the U.S. Coast Guard in 2000. Then “life happened,” as Amy says, and she veered off her artistic path for a while. Words cannot describe the joy it brings her to be reunited with inspiration.
Artist Statement
Amy O’Hearn’s artwork is the culmination of tiny triumphs and mistakes that make it beautiful. She chooses different colors and adds new layers throughout her creative process; each session inspires the choices for the next. When painting subject matter, Amy likes to incorporate the same intuitive approach. The object is the inspiration and the painting is not limited to the rules of reality.
Amy’s goal is to capture the essence of perfect imperfection and self love that nurtures growth, countering the cultural pressures to change who we are to fit others’ expectations.

Her work has been exhibited in North America, Germany, and Japan and is included in several private collections.
Jana’s work is heavily infused with debauchery and desire, vanity and voodoo. Playing with notions of archetypical femininity, Cariddi’s work is infused with the sexuality, danger and loneliness behind the glitter and glitz of New Orleans. Via painting, installation and wall painting, she creates an intersection where the rose-colored glasses of girl-hood and the sharp realities of woman-hood meet. Her work takes form in the imaginary worlds in between, devised to humorize, heal and counterbalance the mundane act of maturing, aging and identifying as female.

Always continually striving to learn and improve her craft, Kathy works with all kinds of subject matters, but her main specialty focuses on animals and nature. She has always loved animals since very young, and she loves being able to convey their spirits and souls thru her art. You can find Kathy’s artwork throughout Ventura and LA counties as well as online thru her website, online vendors, and social media, and she has had her artwork spread as far away as two Kung Fu schools in China. When she is not working on her art, you can generally find Kathy at The Village with Gus Gates enjoying her second love and passion of learning Kung Fu.
Kathy also provides a service called Art For Healing in which she will donate a piece of art to those in need of healing such as at a children’s hospital for every piece she sells. Her hope is for others to share and contribute to her idea as she wishes to inspire others & make a better difference in a harsh world desperately in need of more love & kindness.

I am an Australian visual artist, musician, filmmaker and founder of the international arts & entertainment label EEZY SLEEZ. Though many of my artworks are based on a lowbrow surrealist aesthetics, I’m frequently drawn to themes such as mental illness, paranoia, mortality, self-hatred and body dysmorphia which are all portrayed through a morbidly satirical outlook. Recently, my works have become increasingly inspired by toxic characteristics found in modern-day society which I describe using the term “cultural protein”.
