I work in a variety of modes/series/cycles. I work in abstract as well as figurative work. My work has been published by The Paris Review, Knopf, Vintage, Rizzoli Books, Paris Vogue, Houghton Mifflin, Harper Collins, New York Times and others. ~Shelton Walsmith
The theme of that particular series is Cortaderia Selloana, known as pampas grass. I went on holidays by car to South of Brazil and I discovered fields and fields of rosae pampas grass all over the place. On the wind, they look like plumage and it is like a spectacular ballet from nature. When I came back home, I could not avoid the idea of paint...

My name is Dionisio Jacob and I’m a writer and visual artist living in the Brazilian city of São Paulo. For many years I taught art class for kids, and I’ve always been influenced by the type of direct expression that children have in their work. Maybe that’s why I like to use strong and defined colors in my acrylic paintings. I...
I create anthropomorphic characters from mirrored wood images. I started making these out of figured wood while working at cabinet shops as a finisher. I would band saw the wood and book match the cut boards, gluing them back together to create faces I saw in the grain of the wood. I don’t like naming my Woodies as it is more fun to see what...
My name is Clayton High, and I create all sorts of gifs, animations and illustrations. I also like taking the occasional photograph. I always seek out unique design in my animation and ways to create something that hasn’t been done before, or expand on an idea or concept. I love the idea of abstract shapes and forms interacting with more...
