Jillian Whitney
I create self-portraits. While these self-portraits center on me and my individual experiences, many of the themes within them are part of a broader narrative. That is not to say I am trying to speak for others. Rather, self-portraiture allows me to process what is happening around me in a way that provides a springboard for myself and others to discuss the divergences and convergences in our experiences. In addition, I create landscape paintings as a way to both appreciate natural beauty and have a break from looking at my own face.
NShipula – Creative
NShipula—Creative is owned by Natalie Shipula. I have a degree in fine art from Youngstown State University. My inspiration is drawn from where I grew up and in all of my travels. As a United States Air Force Veteran, it took me some time to finally get on this path of becoming an artist but I finally made it here.
Being a Graphic Designer full time was my lifelong goal, however, I find my passion lies in painting and photography. While I mainly paint watercolors and they are usually on paper, I have been experimenting with some new surfaces. Today, you will find that along with framed pieces, I also have watercolors on wood and metal.
Becoming an artist came with the knowledge that I create a lot of waste. While I am mindful of this, I try to use as much of my materials as possible. When the demand for framed art became apparent, I didn’t want my cost of supplies to raise the price of my art to levels that no one would be able to buy. For the framed pieces, I search for affordable vintage or recycled frames, I reuse mats if they are in good condition, and for my wooden or metal pieces, I search for items that could have another use. I do all my own framing, custom-cut all the mats, and fix/prep all other materials. I am as sustainable as I can be while creating pieces that range in size and price making it so everyone has the opportunity to purchase an original piece of art for their homes.

Chris Prazak
Large Vibrant Photography is the best way to describe my art. I am local to the Heights and have been an avid photographer for many years. My art is bright, colorful, saturated, and tac sharp as I control the entire process from taking the photo, developing, printing matting and framing. My pictures are often of local landmarks and I work to show them in new light and perspective through long exposures to encourage the viewer to continue getting closer and closer to discover more that they might see at first glance. I love travel, adventure, and artistic exploration and seek to share my journey with others.
Johnny Maloney
Johnny Maloney was born in 1989, in Houston Texas. His creative life began studying filmmaking at the prestigious, Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, Australia. After graduating he worked as a freelance filmmaker creating a plethora of music clips, short films and corporate videos.
Always a deep lover and appreciator of art, it wasn’t until an ill fated skateboarding trip left Johnny bedridden, that he finally picked up his paint brushes. This new creative outlet was a revelation, and while stuck in Melbourne’s lockdowns, he began painting the world around him, ultimately selling a number of these works online.
He has since exhibited in several group shows, art fairs and a solo exhibition in Melbourne, before moving back to Houston at the beginning of 2023. Currently he is studying painting at the Glassell School of Art

Tish Reed
I explore the creation of photo-based art using both lens-based images and camera-less techniques through the cyanotype process.
During my walks, I gather a diverse range of materials, including organic items like leaves and flowers, as well as intriguing discarded objects. I expose these collected items on hand-coated papers to UV light and then develop them.
The resulting artwork has a charming element of mystery, chance, and surprise that emerges due to certain aspects beyond my complete control. This unpredictability often leads to unforeseen and surprising results that makes the process of creating these works fascinating to me.
Each print is entirely handmade and distinctive, ensuring that every piece stands as an original, one-of-a-kind artwork.
