Shelley Bain
My work is my way of expressing myself through paint, canvas, ink, and paper. Sometimes I even manage to get some of the paint and ink on the paper or canvas and not all of it on me! ​ I create art because I must - My art reveals to the world the many sides of me.  I wasn't always an artist - at least I haven't always believed myself to be an artist, but I have always felt a passionate desire to create.  So now I create. ​
James Kiwuwa
For many years, James Kiwuwa has entertained, thousands of individuals from all over the world. Countless lovely people who brought him into their lives and made him a part of their communities. The opportunity to perform countless compositions around the world would appear to be a worthy influence of delight; but beyond the call to entertain, he connects with every audience in a way that participants understand and value each other’s culture.
Jean Smith
Jean Smith is a Washington, DC area native who became an artist after retiring from the Federal Government in 2013.  She spent many of her working years as an analyst with a keen appreciation of details.  This skill has crossed over to her artwork—a demonstration of her determination and passion for her new subjects.  Her medium of choice is oil. She revels in painting commonplace items positioned or found with strong light sources providing deep shadows and a radiance that make her subjects anything but mundane.
