I started painting full time after I retired from a career in software. My interest in painting comes from being out in nature, especially after I completed hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. Observing the nuances of trees, plants and animals on the trail inspired me to try and capture the feeling they invoked on canvas.

Brittani Dinsmore is a Washington-based artist whose work explores curiosity, transformation, and the space between intention and intuition. Working primarily in acrylics, she creates expressive paintings that prioritize emotion, movement, texture, and discovery over realism. After more than 15 years leading marketing and business strategy for technology companies, Dinsmore returned fully to painting following a series of significant life changes that reaffirmed the importance of creativity in her life. Her work is influenced by travel, dreams, music, humor, and the unexpected forms that emerge through an intuitive process. Through both abstract and representational subjects, Dinsmore explores themes of identity, perception, connection, and the often-unspoken aspects of the human experience. She views art as a way to reconnect people with curiosity, authenticity, and a sense of shared humanity. Her ongoing aquatic-themed series uses fish and marine life as metaphors for human behavior, corporate culture, social dynamics, and personal growth. Through humor, symbolism, and layered visual narratives, the work invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and question assumptions about themselves and the world around them. At its core, Dinsmore’s practice is rooted in curiosity. She sees art as a way to bridge differences, encourage reflection, and reconnect people with their own creativity, intuition, and sense of wonder.

Jesse Holt was born into the kinetic energy of Brooklyn, New York, and raised with an independent spirit. His perspective on art was shaped by a life in motion. Life has taken him from the rhythmic urban jungle of NYC, to the rugged coastlines of New England and the lush, tropical landscapes of Hawaii—a migration that instilled a deep appreciation for the tension between diverse environments and contrasting artistic impressions. He formalized his artistic instincts at the University of Hawaii, earning a Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design. Drawn by the pulse of the design industry, he later returned to New York City to sharpen his craft and build a professional foundation at the intersection of fine and visual arts. Following a pivotal chapter in California, Jesse now calls West Seattle home. He continues to bridge his rich personal history with a modern, collaborative approach, creating visual storytelling that is as diverse as the landscapes and influences that shaped him.

I grew up watching Bob Ross paint his fluffy clouds and insist there were no mistakes when it came to painting. I was mesmerized. He insisted that everyone could be a painter, even me. It was many years later, when my son started first grade, that I started to paint. It was a place of experimenting -- and discovering what might happen next. A place where surprises might surface, on the canvas, and inside of me.

Keele is a self-taught artist whose work is underpinned by meticulous compositional planning and a deep appreciation for art history and his signature Rhythm Writing technique.
