David has been an avid observer of the natural world since his childhood. Always doodling and drawing. As he reached his twenties he began to do woodcarvings of birds- and from that came the painting aspect. Self taught by curiosity and wanting to create. He gradually began painting on wood, canvas, and glass. He has been living in the middle Tennessee area for over 30 years now and is retired from General Mills.

Haniyfa is a mixed-media artist outside Nashville, exploring life’s complexities through texture and form. Her work invites viewers to engage deeply, encouraging personal interpretations and connections. Texture is key to Haniyfa’s process: rough surfaces represent struggle, while smoother textures signify peace, showcasing beauty in contrasts. Recurring circles in her pieces symbolize interconnectedness, infinity, and personal growth. Sustainability is central to Haniyfa’s practice. She sources materials responsibly and uses eco-friendly techniques, ensuring her art is impactful and environmentally conscious.

"My art explores the intersection of memory and perception, capturing fleeting moments of introspection and wonder. Through vibrant colors and dynamic compositions, I aim to evoke emotions and provoke thought, inviting viewers to contemplate the complexities of human experience and the beauty found within the ordinary."
