Cheeky Boy | Katie Lively | Sydney, Australia
Cheeky Boy

Digital artwork using Procreate and Photoshop
Katie Lively—Sydney, Australia

Under the influence of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s, my work often explores the beauty of nature. I’m particularly drawn to Australia’s bounty of unique flora and fauna. ‘Cheeky Boy’ is a bold and bright personality I simply couldn’t resist. Messy, unruly, and incredibly noisy, yet so charismatic and full of life. Cheers to the unmistakable cockatoo!

The Saints | Scott Erwert | Portland, Oregon
The Saints

Acrylic on canvas
Scott Erwert—Portland, Oregon

My work is a strange mix of observation, pop culture, historical references, free association and being open to where mistakes may lead. It's like the feeling of being inside of a David Lynch film, where you are drawn into the emotion of a non-linear narrative and have to find your own meaning. There’s a connection there or something that draws you in. It’s my job to create that connection through paint and the 2D surface. Sometimes it reveals itself quickly and organically; most times it’s a struggle that takes time and hard work to pull out the connection and uncover the soul of it. I want to share with the viewer the progress of this struggle in my paintings.

My process usually involves sketching plein air to capture the physical place or moment, then bringing those studies into the studio to edit, simplify, and sometimes deconstruct. I utilize my sketchbooks and mediums, which can be used to capture thoughts or moments quickly: graphite, colored pencils, watercolor, and gouache. Paintings based on these studies generally involve the use of acrylic, oil, and sometimes collage. Final paintings are executed on canvas or custom wood panels. I also build custom wood framing for many pieces, which adds to the personalized story I‘m telling.
