About the Artist: Vesela Baker
Working from her studio in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Vesela Baker utilizes a multitude of media, switching between wood and canvas with a focus on acrylic and watercolors. Doing so helps keep her perspective and approach fresh throughout the artistic process, even allowing Vesela to embrace realism as a means of slowing down in her work. Seeing her works on wood and cold press handmade paper is such a treat for the senses, and it becomes clear how much of a sensory, detailed experience the creation of such unique works becomes – You won’t want to miss the journey!

About the Artist: Dixie Purvis

Dixie Taylor Purvis is an abstract painter known for her large abstracts – oil on panel. The abstracts are remarkable for the strong and varied marks and the bold colors. The abstracts explode and surprise, moving out from the middle and in from the sides. They are raw and open but dense and complex. The marks are physical and fractured. Sometimes the marks are spontaneous, other times deliberate but always suggesting the complexity of our human experience – accidental or planned. Events overlap, merge and emerge much like our personal history. Inspired by a refrain from a song, a dream or a personal event she paints from her core and leaves it all on the surface. While she occasionally includes figurative elements she avoids “things” preferring to stay with organic shapes and imagery allowing the viewer to bring their own experience and emotion to the painting.
