I'm an abstract artist. I have a strong love for murals. I feel there's so much you can do with a 48x60 canvas. I started painting again 2 years ago. I decided to dedicate more time into my hobby and make something of it. The mission for my artwork was to create something that truly represented my individuality. I create art that doesn't resemble the work of other artist. I try my best to stay true to the image I created via my imagination when it comes to the execution of a piece. My passion for art is sincere.
Khristian Weeks works primarily with phenomena - sonic, visual, kinetic, and situational - as distinct from the making of objects. His background is in music, first as an instrumentalist and improviser, eventually exploring composition and sound installation. Weeks earned a bachelor's degree from The New England Conservatory of Music in 1995 (and he has a BM to prove it), but not before taking a few years off of this schooling to re-examine his life-trajectory...to live a little. In 1990, he found a job caring for infants.

Kumasi J. Barnett received his MFA from The Ohio State University, and now lives and works in Baltimore, MD. Influenced by the aesthetics and narratives of comic books, his work subverts and imbues the often timeless genre with a present day social consciousness. Barnett frequently paints directly over old copies of comic books, changing their narratives into critiques of police brutality, racial profiling, and more broadly, systemic racism.
Born 1958 / Worcester MA, Kate MacKinnon received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Massachusetts College of Art in 1992 and her Masters of Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2003. During her graduate studies, she began to experiment with materials and paint application. These explorations led to an innovative and unique process that she continues to develop today. Working mainly in oil on canvas, her most recent paintings are high gloss abstractions that explore formal issues of color and surface. Her work was featured in New American Paintings issue No. 63.
I am a Baltimore-based artist whose photographs have been exhibited at the Oakland Museum of California, SF Camerawork, the SFMOMA Artist Gallery, 3A Garage: Architecture, and the University of Nevada Reno's Exit Gallery, and published in Arc Ca, Architecture, Dwell, Photo Metro, and Photo News.
My photographic work overlaps both the silver and digital eras: from early lyrical landscape work and plastic camera explorations to large format architectural work to later conceptual work done with digital tools.
Baltimore’s own Shae McCoy has been consistently blazing platforms and leaving her media footprint within DMV and beyond. At the ripe age of 22, she founded uncommonrealist.com.
