Kathy Elliott
Kathy Elliott is an abstract artist using varied mediums and techniques, including painting with oil or acrylic, cutting and using paper in collage, or printmaking. “I love alternating painting with drawing and how these two tend to meld and then seem to grow apart. I continue to explore the importance of empty spaces, the quiet and perhaps safe intervals between elements, like those quiet and safe intervals we search for in life. For me, my artwork is a puzzle, an ambiguous equation or story to be manipulated with a life of its own created with each layer, mark, or erasure. It is addition and subtraction, just another equation to solve.”
Todd Gutmann
Todd Gutmann is a Richardson, TX, abstract artist working with mixed media including acrylic, charcoal, and raw relief media such as joint compound. Gutmann draws inspiration from people and architecture and explores freeform interpretations of finely created objects. He is known for his non-fussy free sketching and enjoys elevation household objects to artful levels.
