WS: h2h2h.com
Bio: One day it just happened. The day I decided to trade my stressful job for something I loved more, craved more, and enjoyed more: Art. It was like turning on a light.

My name is Mary and I am the owner of Head to Heart to Hand. That’s the way art should be created, and the way it should be received. Look at it, feel it, then let the art speak to you.

My passion is not only creating art using as many reclaimed materials as possible but also helping others find their own passion in art. Look for my upcoming classes and events, including “Color Outside the Lines,” aimed at giving kids more opportunities to participate in the artistic experience.

M’Lynn Suwinski
Chalk Artist
WS: https://sunshinechalkart.com
FB: facebook.com/sunshinechalkart
IG: @sunshinechalkart
Bio: M’Lynn Suwinski is a seasoned professional chalk artist, competing for just shy of a decade at age 21. Her first competition was in Salt Lake City, Utah. After several years, she began developing a unique style consisting solely of portraits and becoming well known for her all incorporative color use. M’Lynn thrives off of capturing the emotion in each individual portrait and finds beauty in every single human. She prides herself in her basic gridding methods and use of strict chalk to create each piece with her own hand and pieces of chalk. While finishing her bachelor's degree, she juggles traveling, chalk festivals and other forms of art. Her overarching desire is to travel the United States to major chalk festivals while flying out of the country to chalk in international festivals. Each festival renders more positive addiction to chalk, the community and the overall feeling of flow while doing what she does best. This is M’Lynn’s utmost passion that brings her more pure joy and happiness than anything else!

Salt Kat
Printmaking, Drawer, Painter
IG: @saltkatapparel
WS: https://saltkat.com/
Bio: As far back as I can remember, I’ve been surrounded by my father’s paintings, sketches, and drawings. His encouragement influenced my development and I became more serious in my artistic endeavors. I grew to develop my own unique style by experiencing the diversity that life offers through travel and exposure to multiple cultures. Initially an oil painter, I was gradually drawn toward the bold and clean graphics seen on vintage signage and posters which led me to the art form of screen printing. This form of artistic expression is the perfect media to bring my dreams and fantasy worlds into reality for others to experience on a daily basis. The versatility and simplicity of screen printing allows for the fusion of my original designs and vintage up-cycled apparel to transform them together into wearable art. SaltKat will continue to evolve with my mission to express messages of authenticity to oneself and to simply live Wild and Free.

Gerry Swanson
Spray Paint

Art is a learning process. A changing system of conscious and subconscious intermingling. My goal as an artist is, ultimately; to let go of control while trusting every stroke, mark, and movement.  My use of different medias, tools and styles, enables me to free myself from getting stuck into one monotonous approach. I allow each piece, no matter the size or subject matter, to be created without being forced or compromised.  Each piece of art is a unique process unto itself. I enjoy the process. I welcome the challenge.
