Dear [Subscriber's Name],

Art from the Inside

Introspection by LoLo

16” x 20”

Medium: Acrylic on canvas panel

The idea for this painting was to show a calm depth of inner reflective thought. To show this without the use of displaying the eyes. The hand is there to show and reinforce this inner process. This is also a self portrait of this process.

Hidden Retreat by Kayleene Greniger

16” x 20”

Medium: Acrylic paint

Sometimes being around so many people all the time I feel like I need a place in the woods with a nice view of nearby mountains and lots of wild animals and critters. Maybe a little fire, and a special somebody. Then just enjoy the connection of nature.

Gilded Cage by Jeffrey Armstrong II

8” x 10”

Medium: Acrylic on canvas board

Inside of a prison, you are told to grow, yet this unnatural setting of stress only robs one of life and instead breaks them more. All the money spent to keep me caged and yet they're still missing the point - Nature versus Nurture. I see beyond my confines to grow, to lose my thorns and to escape the wilting. I don't belong here, I'm not here to suffer and die, I'm here to grow in my natural environment. Nature is free and better than this gilded cage in darkness.

Warrior Woman by Cheryl "Mistori" Albert

8” x 10”

Medium: acrylic paint, gel pens, pencil, gloss medium, watercolor paints

The inspiration for this piece is the onye isi-aghaa - aka warrior ceremony of the Igbo tribe. My connection to this piece is my heritage but also recognition of the war I face every day I am in prison away from my child and everyone I hold dear. Some would say it was unheard of or rare for a woman to perform an aghaa. I say women face the threat of war every day; with grace.

Alone But Not Alone by Thomas L.

16” x 20”

Medium: Acrylic

Personal Growth: Exhibiting personal growth through art

1. The skies may be windy and cold but we press on to greater things even when the seasons change.

2. Sometimes we find ourselves alone in tough times. This is what the tree represents. It is, however, still surviving and well-rooted, strong to make it through to better days.

3. The bright colors used represent hope. My hope is my faith in Christ that guides me every day and helps me carry on.

Star Power by Corbyn Bot

Medium: Beadwork size 11/0 beads, fabric

Personal Growth Through Fellowship in Art made me think about my personal endeavors, and being that I just graduated with my AA degree in Liberal Arts through Minneapolis Community and Technical College, I felt like creating an original beaded rug with the MCTC logo on it, representing my success in graduating with my AA degree. I am the only one out of my immediate blood that will have a college degree.
