Britt Bair Color and light are the elements that inspire me most. As an artist I see how the air affects light, creating a glow that brings vibrance and energy into the moment. I take that feeling of light and try to incorporate it into my abstracts.
I have been exploring the world of Abstract Expressionism, with light as the foundation for my process. Painting large abstractions opens my mind, and helps me let go of the exactness of an image- it’s a feeling of freedom I have long sought in my work. With this approach I can experiment more with color, texture and collage while painting with bold strokes and using mark making to add something distinctive into every piece.
When painting abstract, I express myself through intuition. I paint fast and furiously, intent on bringing order to the chaos in my mind. It becomes a dance of moving back and forth to add and take away. When I can't make another mark it is done!
I am narrating my own personal story using layers of paint to create depth and calmness, while mark making adds vibrancy and life. Each painting illustrates a story, a special moment. My hope is to create a unique painting that someone can relate to, where they can interpret and recall a place in their own story and enjoy a sense of light and happiness.

Melissa Rodgers I believe intention is a superpower. One that can focus your energy and tune vibration. I created High Vibe Beads to help you align with your intention and live on purpose. Vibrant beads that you infuse with passion and soul to remind you of your inner strength and grace. High Vibe Beads is founded on the belief that intention married with integrity can be a powerful force for positive change in the world, one energized and empowered person at a time.

Rachel Rogers A San Francisco native, I have roots on the east and west coasts - both of which feel like home. Having attended Colgate University as well as Parsons School of Design prior to working in NYC for Rodrigo Corral, I now live in Stonington, CT and focus on commissioned designs and ready-made paintings.
My custom ink and water-color creations are both whimsical and elegant, reflecting the personal components of each client. My ready-made paintings reflect my own joyful imaginings.
I have been asked to create my signature designs for individuals, designers and brands to bring a fantastic, intimate and unique approach to crests, stationary, event collateral, heraldry, decor and more. When I'm not painting, I love to be outdoors with my husband and our two kiddos. Preferably near or in the ocean.
