Chelle M
Chelle still remembers the first time as a kid declaring "when I grow up, I want to be an artist!" From that moment she has pursued that passion. She earned her degrees in Studio Arts from UVA and in Interior Design from Marymount. From there she has worked in art galleries, the bead making and jewelry industry, and has spent the last 15 years teaching arts and crafts classes to all ages. Teaching the arts is where she has found it most rewarding to use her talents and experience. Her favorite moment in class is the reveal at the end when everyone sees each other's paintings and are truly impressed with what they've created. She loves to see the individuality in everyone's paintings. It truly shows how even the most novice painter can find a unique style in just a short 2-hour painting session. She loves tapping into that "maybe I can be an artist when I grow up" energy in everyone she meets.

Parris G
Parris Martinez, from Maryland, claims to have been an artist his entire life. As young as the age of 5, drawing was always something he did in his spare time. "You are what you do and anything you practice you get good at" is what he believes. Some would say he is a self taught artist. However, Parris believes that nature, people, artist, & history teaches him more and more about art everyday. Parris is influenced mainly by the art of film and animation. It shows in his artwork, much of which tells a story which he leaves up to the viewer to decide what's the outcome or message. His preferred medium when he is not drawing is acrylic paint. Painting nature is one of his strengths, as well as painting portraits of people. Be on the look out for this up and coming artist!

Mostly in his preferred style of realism, Aaron uses media such as drawing, painting, and digital design to break the fourth wall and explore himself within and out of an artistic space. Starting at the age of six years old, my grandfather inspired me to keep art as a hobby which slowly became a big part of my life. "Out of every occurrence in my life, art has always been the only thing to remain and elevate with me." Because of art, Aaron has been able to connect and collaborate with other artists, have his work featured in gallery spaces, and become an overall better individual. Much of which he continues to do and improve currently. For more info and art, check out my website (bravoartshow.com) for updates.
