Kelley Hudson
Menu Current Volume Archive About Us Submit Categories Kelley Hudson Artist Bio: Kelley Kel” Hudson is an artist and photographer currently living and working in Spokane, Washington. With community always at the heart of her work, Kel focuses primarily on fictitious landscapes of daily, reoccurring life scenes and what Hudson refers to as “Mindcities;”aerial communities that she builds from reoccurring memories. Her work resides in hushed restraint and aims to include many elements of silence and repetitive order. Alongside her love of symmetry and straight lines, she tends to reject the notion that human presence is necessary to describe the chaos or quiet of a landscape and instead focuses on the scene as a personality. Hoping to connect viewers with place, Hudson’s work often grounds itself in moments and places people all share and are familiar with. She tends not to sketch or plan her pieces but will instead focus on tasks or locations that interest her and will observe them for months before any work is made. Kelley is a quiet and elusive creative that blossoms in reticent observation. She is a voyeur of the everyday and a lover of the seemingly mundane. Her forms are heavily influenced by the clean lines and soft aesthetics of the Nordics. Her pallet erupts from her upbringing in Southern California and the inevitable influences of the hispanic and asian cultures that enrich the area. Her subject matter is born of the community surrounding her and the deep and troubling socioeconomic patterns currently inherent in 2020s America. She is the author of “The Spokane Coloring Book” and she was an Artist-in-Residence at The Hive in Spokane, WA in 2025. She holds a BFA from the University of California, San Diego and a painting certificate from the Academy of the Arts University, San Francisco. Website: kelleyhudson.com Instagram: @sequoiakelley

Adrienne Elyse Meyers
Menu Current Volume Archive About Us Submit Categories Adrienne Elyse Meyers Artist Statement: I am drawn to images and scenes that linger, that sit suspended in time and continually resurface, that moments we return to over and over. My practice centers on creating paintings that offer glimpses into daily life, that reflect on the sweetness of sapphic intimacy and tenderness, and engage with a sense of transcendence or strangeness that seeps through the everyday as it is lived and remembered. A lover stretches out in the morning light, an empty train station sits silent, charcoal embers glow at the end of the evening, smoke from fireworks hovers over the lakefront, and shadows flicker on the wall. Paintings produce the sensation of film stills, suspended between voyeurism and intimacy. Soft tones, brushy layers, and deliberately unfinished elements invite viewers into scenes in soft focus, when the eyes flutter, the sun fades, and the curtains are drawn. Warm tones peek through thin washes of paint, establishing a sense of warmth and closeness. Embracing the atmospheric, the tender, and the strange, these works tell stories of how we build connection, embrace awe, and find comfort amid apprehension and precarity. Artist Bio: Adrienne Elyse Meyers (b. 1994, Houston, TX) is a visual artist who was born and raised in Southeast Texas and currently lives and works in Chicago. Meyers studied in Houston and Boston before earning an MFA from the University of Chicago, and she has exhibited nationally and internationally. Meyers’s current practice centers on composing paintings that bring together scenes of daily life, the tenderness of sapphic intimacy, and a sense of awe or strangeness that seeps through the everyday.

Mark Yale Harris
Menu Current Volume Archive About Us Submit Categories Mark Yale Harris Artist Statement: The purpose of my artwork is to invoke an awakening of the sensual. Stimulating a perceptual, internal, and intellectual response for the viewer: a visual that speaks to life’s experiences. Creating symbols of universal connection underscores the relationship that one has to another and to nature. Art conveys my nonverbal view of life. An ongoing portrayal of myself, my behavior, adventure, exploration, risk taking, and non-acceptance of convention and the status quo. Constantly in search of the new and different – I am fascinated with the unconventional. Life has a hard, aggressive side, as does much of my work, represented by rigid, angular lines. However, the soft side is also apparent, visible as curves and soft forms. Combining different elements, I bring forth a duality in the sculptures that I create. Using the invaluable experience of the mentorship of Bill Prokopiof and Doug Hyde, along with my own vision, I have created an evolving body of work in alabaster, marble, limestone, and bronze. I was recently working on a commissioned piece and, while working, reflected on why I carve stone, a very primitive art form. The client had sent me a photo and specific dimensions. My process is to first draw it out dimensionally and then make a small clay model before beginning to sculpt. Then I start my work, in this case on a block of white marble. I measure and measure, then cut, then measure and then cut again, then recheck my drawing – and repeat. Finally, hopefully having made no mistakes, the figure begins to emerge. It is a great feeling of accomplishment! It is that mental challenge that inspires me to carve in stone. I thoroughly enjoy the cerebral exertion and concentration that is crucial to bringing something out of the stone, something that you really cannot do with clay or any other medium. Artist Bio: Sculptor Mark Yale Harris realized his true passion – stone carving – in the 1990s. In Santa Fe, he was mentored by Bill Prokopiof and Doug Hyde. Harris’ alabaster, marble, limestone and bronze works express the inherent duality in mans’ essence. Prior to this shift, Harris spent many successful years in the real estate/hotel business. Harris’ 250+ recent/upcoming exhibitions: Museum of Western Art; Musée de Peinture de Saint-Frajou, France; Coos Art Museum; Royal Scottish Academy of Art; Cape Cod Museum; Yellowstone Art Museum; Booth Western Art Museum; National Sculpture Society; and Ventana Fine Art. 120+ publications include Abstract: Contemporary Expressions; Artwork Gallery Magazine (Kyiv); MVIBE Magazine (Athens); Modern Renaissance Magazine; American Art Collector; Fine Art Connoisseur; Sculpture News; ART UP MI (Milan); Southwest Art; LandEscape Art Review; and Magazine 43. Represented by 18 galleries (US/UK), he has works in museum, state public art venues, hotel and hospital permanent collections.

Kathleen Frank
Menu Current Volume Archive About Us Submit Categories Kathleen Frank Santa Fe artist Kathleen Frank travels throughout the American West, seeking inspiration for her landscape paintings. Using vibrant hues, she captures light and pattern in her search for logic within complex terrains. Exhibitions include International Art Museum of America, Museum of Western Art, St. George Museum of Art, Northwest Montana History Museum, UNM Valencia, MonDak Heritage Center, WaterWorks Museum, Sahara West Gallery, La Posada de Santa Fe, and Jane Hamilton Fine Art. Press includes LandEscape Art Review, MVIBE, Art Reveal, Magazine 43, and Southwest Art. Art in Embassies/U.S. State Department selected her work for Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Artist Statement: Having been an art teacher, woodcarver, and a printmaker in my formative years, I emerged as a painter, joyously overwhelmed by color and searching for pattern. Color and pattern are everywhere, but the seeing and interpretation of them are different for each of us. Pattern in nature is primal to me – which fuels my desire to find a glimmer of logic in vastly complicated, confusing and tumbled landscapes. I do also seek out the vibrant hues in landscapes. My oil paintings begin with a saturated red orange backdrop. This is overlaid with the main imagery, applied with distinct brushstrokes of brilliant color. Hints of the red background peek through like a woodcut, creating subtle impact without drawing attention away from the primary subjects. Several times a year I travel throughout the Southwest, hiking and photographing vistas for future paintings. The goal is to catch the light and design in these scenes in all its strangeness and beauty. It is a lofty goal, but I find when the quest is shepherded with paint and brush, it is a delightfully daunting adventure. Instagram: @kathleenfrank.sf
