My medium is a varied mix of tiny shells, scraps of paper, slivers of glass, thick gel mediums, crusted gouache additives, creamy acrylic and globs of oil paints, traces of watercolor and melted wax crayons combined with hardened enamels and carefully chosen 14kt gold flake.
Every piece is original and every creation is an unpredictable surprise! I create with a clear heart, no expectations. The materials combined together create a resist-like reaction and the results are different every time…..each piece is genuinely unique and original!
I’m passionate about living the artful life. I have a great appreciation for nature and animals,20% of all sales goes to S.N.A.P. (Spay and Neuter Assistance Program) for animals. I am also an active advocate for the “Adopt Don’t Shop!” movement which means finding forever homes for our homeless furry friends.

Beauty for Ashes art & décor by Kimberly McCormick
I work primarily in acrylics on canvas with multi layers of joyful, vibrant colors and patterns. I create portraits, figurative work and animals with a touch of whimsy, to bring healing, hope and encouragement. I believe words are powerful and incorporate them either visibly on the surface or under the layers. I typically can’t stop a painting until a clear message is presented and many of my paintings are accompanied with a written word or poem.
I am an abstract artist using fluid brush strokes, sprays or pours to create one of a kind works of art on canvas. I don’t paint for critics or the masses but for myself. I create because I feel—it’s as simple as that. I share because it connects with my audience. Everyone is going through something. So, each painting resonates in its own way. Painting expresses what words can’t say. Pain, joy, and everything in between flow through the hues that transform my canvases. When you match that with natural light or innovative lighting fixtures, you bring your home or office to life with both color and emotion.
Art is a moment, a fleeting feeling. It’s like capturing lightning in a bottle. The moment the inspiration is gone, you can’t force it back or express it artistically.
I create abstract paintings and mixed media work. My abstract style is emergent: I let the painting take me where it wants to go. Much of my mixed media work are collages using acrylic mediums and interesting papers. The collages range from a mosaic-like style with faces and/or symbols to abstract to landscapes. A current emphasis in my mosaic work is stylized faces to celebrate racial diversity.
I create paintings varying from landscapes of local vistas and my travels as well as abstract work. I like to explore the intersection of chaos and order in the world, and a common characteristic through all my artwork is a use of vibrant colors and light.
I paint colorful still life and florals, working primarily in oils. My design background comes through in my love of graphic patterns, dynamic compositions, and bold colors. Painting, for me, is all about having fun! I am endlessly fascinated by the way light brings life and form to objects, and how shadows bring life to a composition. www.kerryhastingshogan.com@khastingshoganartfacebook.com/khastingshoganart/
