Daisy-Anne Dickson is an abstract artist based just outside of Atlanta, Georgia, whose work weaves intuitive and expressionistic abstraction with the art of storytelling. Her paintings explore themes of brokenness, healing, growth, renewal, and restoration, emphasizing layers, texture, motion, and color to craft a language uniquely her own. A hallmark of Daisy-Anne’s practice is her commitment to salvaging discarded, surplus, or broken materials, repurposing them into artworks that mirror her themes of transformation and renewal.
Rosa Obregon grew up surrounded by music, art, and architecture which served as inspiration to the way she perceived and viewed her work. Her artwork and themes reflect vibrancy as she explores unfamiliar and well known places in the world. Her compositions involve a combination of silhouettes, shapes, lines, circles, textures, collage techniques, spontaneity and precision, balance and harmony, and circumlinear grace. These different methods allow Obregon to form geometric shapes and lines with precise design. As an abstract artist, she loves to find the beauty and complexity of negative and positive spaces emerging together to create the end result; a beautiful composition.
