  • ARTIST - Edward Achey Is a painter from Las Vegas, Nevada.

    About the Artist - I like surprises and finding new ways to lose control of my process. My paintings don’t intentionally convey a deep feeling; they don’t tell a personal story. But they can be evocative and the accidental results can appear to capture some complexity.

    Artist Statement/BIO - I’ve been a painter for over 40 years working primarily with acrylic on canvas. My earliest work was driven by psychological expression. My turn-of-the-century paintings were part of my activism toward ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (E.R.A.). Since 2004, my interests are purely non-representational, gestural color explosions. My control is randomness and my process is refined to the point of maturity. I know how to orchestrate happy accidents in my work.

    My educational background includes advanced study in psychology and the science of well-being. I took a 7th grade art class, but refused to stop working on my very first project while the rest of the class moved on to tackle other assignments. Decades later, I took a basic drawing class at the College of Southern Nevada taught by fine artist Lisa Mack.

    I own easels, but I use them as tables; I want my diluted paint to soak into the canvas laying flat. More recently, I’ve been working with a process that I call ‘Dumpster Residue’ which involves pressing wet painted canvasses face-down into large plastic (Sterilite) tubs like those used by parents to store toys under children’s beds. After drying completely in the tubs, I remove them by force and unexpected outcomes are revealed, often with excess dried paint dangling over the edge of the canvas. Great fun!

    Conceptually, Dumpster Residue was inspired by my desire to throw blank canvasses into a busy dumpster for a few days. Not wanting to actually experience the smell, I began to simulate the process using the scentless, plastic tubs.

    What’s next? I want to acquire some ornate, antique (gilded) frames and somehow join them with my Dumpster Residue series of paintings. 1000 smiles!

  • ARTIST - I have been painting my whole life and am influenced by the art of beauty everywhere we look. I usually paint in oils which have a beautiful depth of color as well as incredible flexibility and are easy to manipulate. I paint in a range from portraiture, landscapes, still life, and furniture and anything that can be painted.

    My accomplishments include magazine featured articles, selling 100's of works on cruise ships, 100's of commissions and Awards of Excellence.

    I have a wide range of works and every single piece has an inspiration. This particular piece was inspired by the centuries old graceful iron designs of the old South that have withstood the wear of history, storms, life and yet still stand as beautiful as ever.

  • ARTIST - I've always been surrounded by photography. My grandfather operated a rural small-town's local photography studio (he specialized in gauzy, hand-tinted portraits of Gladiolus Festival Queens and beaming brides). He had a shingle hung in front of his house announcing "E.Butterfield Photography," so I come by the name honestly. My great-uncle was a photo analyst in WWII, and my father was a staff photographer for a suburban Chicago newspaper for many years after he retired.

    For a while, I was obsessed with Steampunk-themed photography, and took a strange delight in dressing up models in pseudo-Victorian clothing and equipping them with mostly hand-made eye-wear, props and weapons, all of which looked like something Jules Verne might have designed during a fever dream. The accessories and props I created were made to appear old, rusty, and battered, and I manipulated the images to make them look like something that had been forgotten in a workshop or the back of a drawer for a century or two. My models were primarily male, and their pseudo-Victorian clothing was frequently minimal, launching a new niche of "steampunk beefcake" that sent ripples of both delight and outrage through the  community. I published a couple of books of Steampunk photography, complete with fictional biographies of the "characters" my models and I had created.

    Over time, though, I learned that my aesthetic vision was not strictly anchored to the weirdly neo-Victorian, but was in fact simply...weird. I have thrown myself enthusiastically (and sometimes messily) into creating unique props, headgear, accessories, and eyewear with no discernable usefulness. Elaborate Steampunk goggles evolved into just strange facial appliances. And my work became significantly odder, darker, and more (artfully) erotic than when I started. I've been fortunate in finding my models (or being found by them), and they're usually enthusiastic about something unique for their portfolios. I've become fairly obsessed by the use of selective color, both for its dramatic effect and for how it equalizes the model and the prop as distinct parts of the artistic whole.

    I'm a retired attorney and have held reasonably responsible and respectable jobs in education, publishing, and managing most of a nonprofit scientific association's products and operations.  After retiring from the publishing world, I have been teaching an online criminal intellectual property course at Arizona State University for five years. I still have a weird (and perhaps selfish) fascination with intellectual property law, especially as it applies to creative works. I'm the author of Copyright for Creatives, a practical, informal, and hopefully entertaining guide to copyright law for creative people who make stuff, now in its second edition. I live in Summerlin with my husband (who gave me my first Nikon more years ago than I'd care to discuss) and a cat, who tolerates the disruption caused by my photoshoots.

  • ARTIST - My name's Deiondre, born in Los Angeles and raised in the electric glow of Las Vegas. From a young age, I have been captivated by the shapes and structures that define our world. The sharp angles of cityscapes and the organic curves of nature draw me in, revealing how buildings and landscapes tell their own stories. Photography became my medium for capturing these moments—not merely as images, but as a source of peace and clarity. For me, it transcends being just a craft; it serves as a quiet escape. I enjoy sharing my perspective with others, hoping that my work might inspire someone to pick up a camera, a brush, or whatever fuels their creativity.

  • ARTIST - Wendy Ann discovered Chinese Brush painting in 1991 and has been addicted ever since. She joyfully came under the tutelage of Nan Rae in Burbank and quickly discovered the “Guru” of Chinese Brush Painting for Southern California, Ning Yeh who founded the American Association of Chinese Brush Painters. She also studied Calligraphy with George Huang until he returned to China.

    The Chinese Brush Painting of Wendy Ann reflect her understanding of rhythm and harmony captured by her deft and rapid brush strokes, “Chinese Brush Painting is about line and movement through space, executed from the heart.”

    Wendy Ann’s use of space is the unifying and harmonizing element of her paintings. In Chinese Painting “space” is a spiritual solid with its own life.

    “Wendy’s brush, swift and sure, creates a dance of its own expressing a joyful freedom of movement.” (Nan Rae)

    Because of her dance background, Wendy Ann quickly found this art form translated to movement on paper. Chinese Brush Painting requires posture, position, and specific brush holding techniques as well as precise execution of movement. She finds the art to be a balancing act of strength and delicacy, the Ying and Yang, wet and dry brush, boldness and detail, much like the execution of good choreography.

    Although a westerner by birth, she began her painting life with Chinese Brush Painting and has found it to be a distint advantage. Not having to unlearn Western techniques freed the artist in her to fully embrace the Eastern Art form.

  • ARTIST- A career in law enforcement, that included extensive crime scene forensic photography, played a significant role in expanding Tom’s photographic evolution. Growing up on a farm in New Hampshire and later the orange groves of Florida fostered a love of animals, nature and the great outdoors. Many trips, vacations and friendly contests to take the best picture further helped to develop the foundational skills necessary for him to take memorable and timeless photographs. 

    A desire to diversify and expose himself to new challenges led Tom to accept and develop a wide variety of photographic endeavors. He shot location still photographs for The Travel Channel. Exotic car shots for Motor Trend magazine. Event photography including the “Property Brothers” (Jonathan & Drew Scott). Photos for “Word River” international literary journal, Nevada Magazine and the Nevada Travel Guide. Commercial photography for the “Skywalk” restaurant at the Grand Canyon, Zak Bagans’ The Haunted Museum and other medical, dental and commercial clients. He continues to expand his local, state and international clientele.  

    While Tom’s interest in photography continues to explore new subjects, his love of nature and landscapes remain his favorite subjects. Tom is particularly interested in capturing the beauty and majesty of Nevada’s endangered wildlife, including wild horses, burros, big horn sheep and other flora and fauna he encounters on his travels.

    Tom and his wife, Nancy, live in Las Vegas and have called Nevada home since 1994.

  • ARTIST - I was born in a small town in Kansas, the small community was surrounded by farm land. I used to take hikes ride horses and had fun with living around the country. Many of the paintings are from the Kansas landscape.

    I started drawing and painting with water colors and was taught by a local artist. Her work was all landscapes with work with blending colors and lighting. I learned a lot from her. When I attended college I took oil painting and fell in love with oil’s and never looked back. Using different mediums and mixing my own colors using the color wheel, brings out the brilliance of the colors.

    I love pet portraits because I love animals and their personalities show through in the work. I love sunsets and do window stain glass works that are hung in the window.

    Landscapes always take me to the places I’ve visited and give me a feeling of home or fun times on vacation. I love to put landscapes in my home giving it a warm and good feeling.

    I’ve done art for over twenty years and have done a lot of special requests for customers.

    I do customer requests along with signed prints, coffee mugs, totes, and shirts with any of my art work images. Must contact me with your request.

  • ARTIST - Sumon Methangkool is a landscape painter living in Las Vegas, Nevada since 1983. Sumon lives on the hill overlooking Las Vegas valley where he can observe the openness, light, color, and all the excitement and drama of nature. The warm glow of last light of the day and serenity of the desert inspire many of his paintings.

    A native of Thailand, Sumon has been living in the United States since 1973. Although he has a BFA from a university in Thailand and MFA from Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, Sumon never made a living as an artist. Instead, he worked as an entrepreneur in the restaurant business. A family man, he worked hard to support both his daughters through college. Art, however, has always been his passion. Sumon returns to his easel every chance he gets and has had several one-man shows as well as group shows.

    Now at retirement age, Sumon is committed to fulfill his passion to become a full time artist. And on his canvas, he explores deacades of accumulated ideas. His main inspiration comes from his love of nature. He is fascinated by the wide open spaces and the simplicity of the desert southwest, the vastness of the open sky, and the color of the sunlit mountain in the early morning. Moody and atmospheric scenes play a significant role in his paintings.

    Although most of his paintings are inspired by the landscape of the southwest, Sumon likes to describe his style as combination of abstraction and impressionism. This combination developed from his interest in European Impressionism and contemporary abstract style. Sumon enjoys the simplicity and loose brush work in his compositions. Some of his work are soft and tonalistic while others are portrayed by exciting and expressive brush strokes. Most of his artwork are not exact representations of specific locations or scenes. Rather, they are a composite, a work of creativity.

    If you interested in Sumon’s artwork or would like to know more about his paintings, feel free to contact him.

  • ARTIST - Jeanette Montero is a mixed-media artist based in Las Vegas with a mission to infuse art with joy and gratitude. Her work explores the theme of finding beauty in the mundane. After obtaining a BFA degree from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1989, Jeanette’s attention shifted to raising her four children. She returned to her artistic practice in 2018, working in series to deeply investigate ideas and refine her techniques. 

    Jeanette's work has been featured in renowned publications like Cloth Paper Scissors Magazine and Art Journal Kickstarter. She is also a five-time finalist in the prestigious Art Comes Alive competition, an achievement spanning 2018 to 2022.

    Discover more at https://linktr.ee/jeanettemontero.art

    ARTIST- Statement - My brightly colored mixed-media paintings feature a joyful variety of patterns and textures. They are inspired by my appreciation of commonplace objects or scenes, such as the shapes of leaves, the wrinkles on an elephant's skin, a butterfly’s wings, or the fleeting hues of a sunset. I cast a spotlight on ordinary or overlooked forms of beauty.

    I use a variety of art mediums, such as alcohol ink and resin, as well as unconventional tools like Q-tips or firepit glass, in a process that is spontaneous and allows for a certain degree of random outcome. This interplay of the planned and unplanned becomes a dialogue between myself and the canvas, during which I experience a range of emotions - joy, frustration, triumph, tragedy, failure, elation - mimicking the ups and downs of life. The results are unpredictable and dynamic artworks that keep me excited about the process and the outcome.

    At the heart of it, my paintings express my gratitude for life’s blessings, and aim to spread happiness to those who see them. They are my interpretation of God's creativity and hopefully, serve as a reminder to embrace joy and gratitude in our daily lives.

  • ARTIST - I paint because I love to. I love combining ideas, colors and composition to create something that is pleasing and brings joy to the viewer.  I started painting when my mother gave me a set of watercolor paints when I was older. I started playing with the paints and I found that it was something that I could do with my mom. We went on several workshops including at Yosemite and in rural Wisconsin where my family moved when they immigrated from Norway in the late 1800's.

    I have expanded from those first days not only doing watercolor but incorporating other mediums (acrylic, mixed media, pastel and collage) and continuing on my journey to explore how to express my love of painting. Some have called me a "semi-abstract colorist". Throughout my journey, I have met some amazing people, both artists and art lovers, which may be the most rewarding of all.

    Beyond Kimberly's love to design fashion and jewelry, painting is her true passion. Painting is in her blood and soul. Painting on leather was incorporated in her designs. Painting animal prints. Painting on dance and ballet shoes. Painting dance wear. Painting while dancing. Painting leotards. Painting for rock stars. Painting for many ballerinas. Kimberly understood dancers and how dance wear moved on stage. Kimberly's dance wear was designed and sold. 

    The art gallery shows and fashion events became a ritual. Artist Kimberly Panfil began coordinating top fashion designer's garments with her accessories and jewelry designs. Show background sets were designed and painted, music was selected, models were chosen, and runways were painted. It became a mood, a feeling to be presented with the garments. Kimberly's art and designs adorned over 175 runways and stages. It was sheer, utter chaos backstage and a sleek, smooth performance to the public.

    Kimberly artistic choices did not miss a beat. Her experience with her family's Martinique, Drury Lane Theatre and play rehearsals as a child and teenager taught her a lot. Her past experiences set the rhythm. This artist could see now why she experienced so much entertainment and watched the play directors in rehearsals tell everyone what to do. At age 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11, Kimberly watched the producers and directors as she sat in the theatre quietly. She absorbed how to set the stage for ART. For ART shows and performances. In her childhood, she was beginning to be prepared for her future artistic lifestyle. 

    Everything fell in place. It was all creatively meant to be. Today, Kimberly is a professional artist, painter, colorist, fashion and jewelry designer. This artist is not shy. Strong colors and detail are dominant in her art work. Kimberly mainly creates with 'Soft Pastels, Oils, Acrylics, Gouache, Watercolor, Pen & Ink and Pastel Pencils'. Plein Air painting is her favorite to capture natural light and mother nature's artistic settings. Kimberly's art often relates to painting nature, florals, landscapes and painting anywhere with ease, adding a contemporary flair in most of her paintings. She does not stop there. Kimberly loves painting portraits and people too. You will find Kimberly has a very deep infinity and love for any animal. Kimberly has a special connection with animals and loves to paint magnificent horses, dogs, birds and curious cats.

    Then there will always be a place in Kimberly's heart to draw, illustrate and paint fashion. Paint fabrics and paint free form designs. You name it. This diversified artist will never say, "NO", to any type of medium to paint with or any painting style. Being a true artist, creative challenges are simply a part of their life. Just name it, this artist will paint it.

    Speaking of ART challenges, talking to Kimberly you will hear her say, "I love teaching art to the person who says they have NO art ability". Kimberly will teach anyone to draw & or paint. Kimberly is a certified 'Grumbacher Acrylic Instructor'. Besides acrylics, she can teach anyone to paint in any art medium. Kimberly will tell you, "I studied Fine Art, Painting, Color Theory, Fashion Design, Pattern Making and Art History with so many students at SAIC, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where I received my BFA in Art History, Painting, Color Theory and Fashion Design. I experienced that every person has their own art ability. No person should ever be judged on their art. Art is within you. Art is personal. Art is a feeling of your passion. Life is about finding your creative passion. We are all artists.

  • ARTIST - Judy Pfeifer is an eclectic artist who likes to explore different media and styles. She revels in exploring the shapes and shadows that are formed from strong light playing off of figures, cliffs, plants or trees. Sometimes starting with ink or charcoal studies in order to find the values and composition, or maybe by using digital software to manipulate her own reference photos, she will later develop them into mixed media drawings or paintings predominantly with the use of oils, acrylics, watercolor or soft pastels. However, each work of art seems to take on its own direction no matter the preplanned process. Many times she will just dive right in with an intuitive image of the final painting calling to her.

    Whatever subject matter or media Pfeifer chooses she focuses first on the line to reveal her subject. Her strong control of line brings out the forms and shapes. However, in her view the lost line, the one not drawn but created by light can often make the strongest statement of all.

    Pfeifer attributes her classical training at the University of Kansas where she earned her Fine Arts Degree for providing her the freedom to explore her artistic expression with more confidence. After her training in the Fine Arts, Pfeifer took her skills in various directions. She enjoyed a fifteen year career as an illustrator and then migrated to another fifteen year career as a costume and set designer.

    Currently she has allowed herself the freedom to explore her artistic interests and come full circle back to her beginnings. She and her husband moved back to Las Vegas in 2021 after living on the Northern Coast of California. Judy is an active member of the local Las Vegas Artists Guild and the Red Rock Pastel Society. She has participated in shows and received many awards at Gualala Arts in Gualala, California. She has served on the Board of Directors of North Coast Artist Guild and was the Gallery Director for The Discovery Gallery Artists Collective for four Years.

  • ARTIST - The day my dad let me use his Pentax camera some 39 years ago; I was in love! It was an old camera, even then, with a built-in analog light meter. This began a lifelong journey of loving photography. I was especially fascinated with the darkroom: working with chemicals, developing film, and exposing images onto an assortment of papers. This led me to the unique style of hand-coloring B&W photographs and a variety of alternative processes which became my focus.

    I spent two years at The Art Institute obtaining my Associate Arts degree in photography as an honors student. During these two years; I absorbed as much information as possible and gained a plethora of knowledge. Exploring further methods of landscape photography, portraiture, studio lighting, various formats of film, and camera equipment-graduating with a portfolio focus on alternative/fine art photography. I assisted photographers in a variation of fields and took an internship with a large, commercial studio. I like to challenge myself by working in different genres of photography. 

    FAST FORWARD TO 2023~I am embracing my dream of living in Key West. I have gotten to the place, I BELONG; doing the art, I LOVE. One realizes with age, that this life is fleeting and we must seize every opportunity presented. I have always been that “annoying friend” that “takes forever to get places” because~ I will always stop to capture a moment, waiting for just the right light-angle-movement-etc. To this day, I love photography as much~if not MORE~as I did as that little 10 year old kid! It’s just IN my being.

    The Keys community, landscape, and history provide daily inspiration for my art and heart. There is nothing more aspiring than being where you’re supposed to BE, doing what you were meant to DO. I feel very blessed!
