Michael Garfield
Michael's improvised live paintings are hand-illustrated at concerts with opaque pens (and without computers or measuring tools). Reflecting his training as a scientific illustrator, Michael's live art is a field guide to the beings that emerge at the energetic nexuses of live music the boundary-living electric winged spirits that crash into being through a dancing throng while he is a seismograph and portraitist, swaying to their breath.
Andy Reed
Andy Reed is an elemental artist whose creations are that of a visual adventure into inter-dimensional, intricate landscapes -- with bright colors, geometric shapes, and glyphic light-language coding amongst organic and earthly conceptions.
Azura
An intergalactic graphic designer, illustrator, and professional doodler, Azura has further surrendered to her inner artist and found her muse in live painting. She aims for her images to move the heart in such a way you feel you can truly hear the colors and see the sounds. Her passion is driven by love of her craft and the harmonious co-creation of art, music, and joy.
Sarah Tracy
As a creator, Sarah Tracy intends to inspire and to be inspired. She becomes one with live music in the present moment to create a connection of truth and beauty. She allows this connection to be her guide across the canvas. Aligning to the constant flow of creation, Sarah's intentions and attention facilitate heightened awareness.
Sweet Melis
I am passionately living a dream of constant creation. I want my art to reflect the beauty of the moment which hopefully in turn shows the importance of living in the present... On this journey I aim to make this world a more beautiful place than it already is.
Krystle Smith
My role as an artist has also guided me into the enchanted realms of magic and the alchemy of art. Accompanying musicians as a live performance painter for over four years, I have had countless opportunities to create work saturated with both sound and the essence of the moment. This intuitive approach to art opens up doorways to the process of creation, and allows others to participate in that process.
Rae Vena
A new live painter to the scene, Rae Vena uses live music as her motivation and inspiration for her acrylic works. Her artwork was once described to her as surreal visionary dreamscapes, with cubular tendencies. Once winter hits you can still find Rae focusing her creative juices on larger studio oil paintings. With new pieces always being uploaded regularly, you can find Rae's artwork on view & on sale at her online website www.raevena.com
Kevin Vigil
Kevin will be the featured live painter at Friday morning's Chompdown in RV Reserved. The painting(s) will be donated to St. Bernard's for the silent auction whose proceeds will benefit local non-profits such as Kansas Cancer Research, The Waka Flood Relief Effort, Central Plains Jamband Society, and NM Jams of Enchantment to name a few.
Mackenzie Page
As a visionary artist, I hope to expand imagination in others as well as in myself. Finding space within the threads of the canvas, I attempt to consciously recreate worlds that I have visited in my own mind. As a live artist, I've found that existing in this realm, in this process, is ultimately enlightening. I hope to reach the hearts of others in the quest to make this world a more beautiful place. I hope to inspire and be inspired, and to hold a light during our trip down this darkened path.
