I am an aspiring artist from Cincinnati. My love of art stems from many ideas flooding my head, so art helps me channel those ideas out. As a Christian, I see my art as a way to express Biblical concepts and ideas. My primary form of art is mixed media. I also enjoy working with colored pencil as it creates a distinct texture. I would describe my work as a cross between abstract, crafty, and a touch of folk-art.

When not working on art, I can be seen spending time with family, reading the Bible, cooking, swimming, watching hot-air balloons, working, and watching television shows.

Lauren is a 31 year old artist currently in the “I am Boundless” Spire Arts program. She enjoys anything indoraptor, from the latest Jurassic Park series. She watches the movies, plays the games, and draws as many as she can on any medium: clothes, canvas, and paper. She thinks they are awesome! She loves doing art because it’s been something she was good at when she was little. She is always exploring new mediums and hopes to grow her portfolio as much as possible.

I love to make art because it expresses my feelings. In addition to creating art, I enjoy racing cars. What I think makes me awesome is that I am a friendly and relaxed person. Creating and sharing art with others is my passion.

My favorite hobbies are creating art, reading books and spending time online. I love making art because I feel inspired by the world around me. Some things I would like people to know about me is that I am smart, talented, and kind. I have been drawing since I could hold a pen, and what makes me special is my desire to inspire others through my work.

Rrraaahhhh! Don’t be scared. That is a happy growl that says, “My name is Curtis, but my friends call me Curt Dawg!” I’m a 10 year old non-verbal boy with Autism, so I don’t communicate with words some might understand, but I’ve been told I have the best laugh and smile. Communication might be tough at times for me, but my laughs, growls, hoots, and my talker help me to make sure I’m heard and understood! I love Pixar movies (tie between Dory and Buzz), Youtube kids silly songs, swings, trampolines, spinning chairs, squeezes, tickles, Ranch Cheese-It Grooves, and candy (especially jelly-beans and Skittles). Hoot Tah! That’s Curt Dawg for ‘Glad you like my art and thanks for being kind to kids like myself!’

Hi Boys and Girls! Evan Bowers here! You may know me from my show “Evan the Boy.” I’m a 12 year old boy who is a big fan of Cheese Pizza (brought to you by Pizza Hut) and Cheese Burgers (brought to you by McDonald’s). My love of art comes from animated movies, particularly Pixar movies (Toy Story 3 is my fave!) and drawing dinosaurs (T.Rexes are the best!). When not doodling cartoons and comics, making my Evan the Boy series, and going to school I like Nintendo games (Mario Voice: Here we go!) and Roller Coasters (King’s Island’s Diamondback is the best Hypercoaster.) Thanks for believing in me and those like me. Our future is bright!

I love my family, watching for CSX Trains, playing Legos, Mario, Mickey Mouse and being outside. Art is fun because I can get messy. My favorite food is cheese pizza with pineapples. I am proud of family and my heart shirt.

Hi my name is Michael. I Live in Roswell, Georgia. I belong to a program called Just People, an independent living program for people with disabilities.

Ever since I was young, art has been a huge part of me. It has helped me in so many different ways learning and coping with struggles. Art is a really healthy therapeutic way to help express myself and be creative. I also found it to be a good way to meet friends since its hard at times to meet friends and have relationships. Being able to meet and work with other artist is nice. I enjoy doing many forms of art including sketching, carving, sculpting, music, and mixed media.

Besides art, I enjoy playing hockey and visiting friends and family. I hope everyone enjoys my art.

I have a degree in Graphic Design and worked for five years in print media. I am passionate about art. I have gained a lot of visual influences from places I have traveled, including China, New Zealand, and Latin America. I grew up in a homeschool family of three brothers and a sister adopted from China, which meant we had plenty of opportunities to travel. I hope whoever finds what I create to be inspirational.

I'm autistic. I'm 18 years old. My pronouns are they/she and nonbinary. I love watching cartoons to heal my inner child. Art is my outlet. I use it to express myself, cope with trauma, calm myself down, or pick myself up on a rough day. At the moment, I am going through a depressive episode and find it hard to make time to do what I love. However, I am not going to give up. I refuse to lose this battle; I refuse to let my depression take my life away from me. In my free time, I enjoy reading and collecting books/manga! At the moment, my favorite series are SPY X FAMILY, Demon Slayer, Heaven's Official Blessing, and I can keep going, but I'm going to stop there :)
