John McMartin

My work is, paradoxically, organic and architectural in nature. I start from basic shapes and concepts and allow the work to grow and have a life of its own. Mistakes and happy accidents often produce some of my best results. For me, art is about process; most of the time it is a rather meditative experience and, occasionally, a struggle. I rarely start with a message in mind and when I do it usually goes through a metamorphosis or becomes muddied. In the end, I want to hear your opinion. Like it or hate it, as long as there’s a reaction I’ve done my job as an artist.

LA White

As a “foreign,” white woman, I find both Koreans and Westerners are often surprised to learn my boyfriend is Korean. Although many are happy for us, we have experienced negative reactions to our intercultural relationship.

I am confronted by, and in these paintings I confront, others’ attitudes to intercultural relationships, both personal and global. My paintings are inspired by three main ideas: 백마 타다 (To ride the White Horse), 피를 섞는 게 아니다 (Don’t mix the blood) and 백인 아줌마 (A White Adjumma in Korea?

Sarah Epp

Essentially, I like to make art that is funny. I believe if someone can laugh, they can connect. My craft reflects a strong interest in human manipulation of the natural world.  My current body of work entitled the “Restaurant Logo Series” explores the themes of food production and representation.  Restaurant advertising is used as a main source of imagery.

The second series called “Manufactured Solutions for a Dying Planet” is a series of digitally manipulated drawings which darkly illustrates the collision of manufactured culture and the natural world.
