LINDA LAFONTSEE
Using a variety of media including encaustic, oil and gouache, Linda LaFontsee conveys the dance of life with an organic freedom, independent of representation. LaFontsee is inspired by color, movement and line; all of which she is continuously constructing and deconstructing in the surface of her paintings. LaFontsee also finds inspiration in repetition. Like life under a microscope, Lafontsee’s paintings appear alive and in flux. View her work at lafontsee.us
NUEL FRIEND
Nuel Friend creates intriguingly abstract compositions through the use of non-traditional materials and painting techniques. He earned a BFA in Graphic Design from Michigan State University and has most recently acquired an MFA degree in Fine Art Painting from Kendall College of Art and Design Ferris State University. Nuel Friend resides in Grand Rapids Michigan where he continues to explore his non-representational abstractions. View his work at basqko.com
