About Jay Nauman:Jay Nauman is a young contemporary artist based out of Washington D.C. with roots in Annapolis and Baltimore. While attending a 100 level design course at Towson University, he found his inspiration through a professor that introduced him to the world of vibrant Color-Aid Paper. This introduction to a new and specific medium of paper ignited what has now spawned into a growing variety of around 50 artworks. He invests countless hours into handcrafting each individual piece by mingling thousands of different paper colors with an Xacto knife and glueing them to a sheet of bristol pad paper. Some of the larger works have taken hundreds of hours to complete over a span of months to sometimes a year. It is difficult to explain the knife cutting precision and time commitments without taking a closer look at the original works themselves.

About Ricky Chenoweth: My Name is Ricky, I specialize in pop art as well as surrealism, and I enjoy pushing my limits of creativity as well as exercising my emotional state of mind by creating deeper meaning throughout my works. My favorite mediums range from water color to pencil, as well as soft pastel and graphic edits. I have always been inspired by so many artists like Warhol and Banksy, It is always such an honor to be compared to them but recently I’ve enjoyed creating a name for myself. Appreciating the past greats but still maintaining my own unique style. From high color pop art, to dark and ominous surrealism I guarantee Ill capture your interest!
