Wild by Shyan Johanessen (Print)

11 × 14

Print only

A lot of individuals struggle with identity. I am an artist and have been my entire life. I started drawing when I was five years old and since then I have worked and aspired to be the best artist I can. I have worked as a tattooist most of my life. I have also tried to create artwork in many different medias from wood, iron, paint, pencil and many others. If I can create art out of it, I’ll try it.

Green Darner by Toby Earl (print)

11 × 14

acrylic on canvas, matted and framed

"Green Darner Dragonflies are the largest and fastest-flying dragonflies in North America. They often travel in swarms or families, and they are most often found near sources of water. Symbolically dragonflies are revered as symbols of wisdom, change, transformation, and adaptability in life. In many cultures, they are also seen as carriers of light and joy, signifying positivity and the presence of loved ones who have passed on. Reflecting on my own life's journey, I find solace in drawing inspiration from the dragonfly. Its ability to maneuver through obstacles and its unwavering resilience in the face of challenges serve as a poignant reminder that we, too, can navigate the complexities of life with grace and determination."

Pictures, Poems, and Notes (print only) by David Edward Lenarz, Jr.

14 x 11 / print only

For nearly 3 1/2 years I have been incarcerated; yet, I have made every effort to live in the mindset of freedom. Every day is a therapeutic endeavor to improve. Every day, my pen creates art, poems and notes; the pen has become the tool for transformation. It honors those I’ve encountered here in the DOC. It keeps love alive in my family. The pen heals me, it heals us, sends out my SOS. It humbly places on display my New Heart. This piece is part of that New Heart; “On fragile paper is my fragile heart for you to see and for me to be.”

Akasha (print) by Jennifer Marx

11 x 14

Inspiration for this piece

When I first saw this image in my mind’s eye, I thought of our soul. Our universal soul, and how we all connect. The energy that flows from one human being to another. From all living matter. Akasha is everything. Everything before, everything after. Akasha is how I reach out and touch someone who lives 10,000 miles away. She is how I see you. All of you. Her energy runs through you into me, transforms me, molds me, moves me.... changes my life.
