Laine Bachman

Laine Bachman was a very inquisitive child growing up in the rust belt of Ohio. Her mother is an avid gardener and Bachman loved exploring the plant life in her yard and in the woods and the creek nearby her home. Ever curious, she enjoyed peering behind the obvious, such as turning over rocks to discover the hidden worms and insects beneath them. Bachman showed an interest in art at an early age and participated in private art programs and exhibitions throughout her school years. Her fascination with plants and nature, along with an interest in mythology and folklore, is the fuel for her imagination. More

Fran De Anda

“My inspiration is based on myths and archetypes such as life, death, nature, and the forces that act mysteriously in the world. I am interested in representing concepts like creation, fate, rain, fire, etc. through the alchemical symbolism of elements and the influence they cause on the viewer’s gaze. [I hope] that whoever looks at my work can find a little magic to accompany them on their journey to discover their place in this world.” - Fran de Anda

Upon viewing A New Circus in Town, one will notice the enormous scale of the painting along with the utilization of many media. Jaoui uses spray paint, charcoal, oils, and acrylic paint on raw canvas to build densely layered surfaces. He activates the composition with biomorphic shapes that are reminiscent of invented creatures. More
