Erica B
Erica Beverly finds fulfillment within introspection, chronicling subconscious beliefs and emotions through art. Erica's art brings hidden feelings forward, creating a visual paradox of serious and childlike playfulness. Dreams, psychology, and astrology fascinate her, as she is eager to find deeper meaning in day-to-day life. Erica does, however, take time away from inner analysis and enjoys a mixture of activities. Kickboxing, and spin classes provide a great mental getaway, while journaling and meditation help calm an over- active psyche. She also loves videogames, period piece movies, anime, comic books, and a vast array of music genres. One of Erica's proudest moments was her first art show Personified in 2016. Personified consisted of fictional character portraits inspired by emotions felt during that time, each 16" x 24" in charcoal. In addition, Erica has taught visual art, photography, and ceramics, in secondary education. Recently, she completed a long-awaited goal of creating an art studio at home, and given the additional space, plans to invest more time in wood working, and ceramics. Erica Beverly thrives on curiosity, and encourages others to delve into what drives them forward. She wants to share her knowledge and enthusiasm through her career, and personal life, while learning from others in the process. Ultimately, Erica is excited to be a part of a creative community, and seeks to bring a new perspective to art making. Visit ericabeverly.myportfolio.com to view Erica's collection of artwork.

Daniel K
Dan Kotlyar is an artist from Natick, Massachusetts who found a passion for creativity at a young age. His artistic spark was lit after winning a middle school art award for his passionate doodles and the encouragement and support from teachers and family. He had an interest in painting, specifically landscapes and animals with acrylic paint as subjects. The depth and detail were captivating, and he would often draw inspiration from the scenes surrounding him, whether it was the view from the backyard, the lakeside, or the summit from a hike. Along with painting, he had an interest in woodwork and carving. Although his degree was in microbiology, he stayed in touch with his inner painter through his academic career and continued to create pieces for friends and family alongside his studies, even blending the two on the canvas. Dan also enjoyed an active life, including boxing, surfing in the summer and snowboarding in the winter, and spending time with friends and is excited to share the world of painting with others who choose a different path but never gave up their creative side.
