Every month we feature a new artist and for July and August we are featuring a series of artists who’s work makes a creative impact. Thanks to the artists below for sharing their work and a look into their worlds.
1. Faye Akassa
As a young sand painting artist I taught my self to distinguish as the different grains, sizes and shapes of sand found on the shores of my birth home in Dakar (Senegal West Africa). This Ancient art form of sand painting is rooted in ancient Kente (AKA ancient Egypt) civilizations and for 12 years my style and composition were developed around the medium. I worked at further expanding my craft introducing myself to many other techniques and widening my emerging vision.I explored the decorating of various objects to attract tourists sales in Dakar to include clay oil painting and art sculpture. I love what I do.
The work became more expensive as Akassa’s world got bigger. France and other parts in Europe, the International African Art festival in New York, Kente Royal Galerie in Harlem New York, etc. are special places that inform the narrative of Akassa and his unique approach to colors.
I can be seen in community school settings, senior centers and on the street of New York passing on my knowledge while sharing my artistic philosophy.
2. Chaverna Partida
I live in San Blas Nayarit Mexico and I have painted since I was boy. My style is in oil paint and acrylic on canvas, wood, or glass.
I paint landscapes from the place I live, ocean and fisherman scenes.
3. Bryan Mosh
Designer, illustrator, photographer; a little clueless and always with a hat.
I love to create images that convey a message to the viewer, I love to make people imagine a story in their mind.
4. Odinel Pierre Junior
I use several mediums including oil paintings, ink, charcoal and multiple collages. I was an artist that worked exclusively in graphite, charcoal, and pen and ink were my specialties. I had decided way back that this was the artist that I should be.
I am interested in creating works that highlight the strength and create a place for the audience that can relate on how each impact on their lives.

8. Mack Blair
Cartoon….Pen and colored pencils
These begin as doodling and turn into cartoons… I also draw cell cartoons but enjoy just drawing one image and moving on.
Recently, I framed a few stacks of my drawings. These are fun meditations.
9. Quratul Ain
I am a self taught beginner artist doing my art initially on paper.
10. Max Akerman
I started a month ago in Art. I started producing high quality sellable art very quickly. Been using my art to heal my health. As I suffer from complex ptsd. Art has helped me to find peace and have a purpose in life.
11. Edna “Renee” Cornette
Realism and abstract.
I am an upcoming artist who is self taught. I began painting in August of 2019. I live in Long Beach, MS and have a very supportive husband of 11 years and a 10 year old daughter. Painting has become a passion for me to bring out my inner creativeness and to take away stress. My paintings are mostly beach scenes and some abstracts. I am inspired by the beach because it is peaceful and calming. Throughout my learning period I have been able to achieve a more understanding on realism and how to make it happen in my art.
12. Ophola Siwundla
Ophola is an artist from the small town of Mthatha in the Eastern Cape South Africa.
I do tribal and documentary art and specialize in oil on canvas paintings.
I am a self-taught artist who has been painting since 2001. My work is motivated by the struggles that have and are still being experienced in the rural Eastern Cape. Capturing these moments with oil paint on canvas has helped me with better dealing with these tough experiences. I paint to heal my soul and those who went through the same experiences.
13. Rhoselyn Garino

For me Art is the only thing who can save us from everything that kills us inside.
