Kristin A
Visual Arts: Constructions/Collage, Mixed Media, Painting, Sculpture
I am primarily a sculpture artist working with steel & mixed media. I enjoy creating organic, contemporary forms and figurative forms. Women are strong, elegant, AND beautiful. I love that I can convey that in the medium I have chosen. In addition to sculpture I also do something I call a botanical collage. I add physical plants to my acrylic paintings & seal them. They have various particles in them that capture the light. I try to make my paintings come to life with this process. As a light source travels across my work it is illuminated in different areas, perhaps mimicking the sun. Artists have imitated nature & plant life for centuries, I actually preserve & enhance it.

After a career in Marketing, Advertising and now Information Technology, Teresa is finally devoting her spare time to art with plans to eventually transition to full time "arting". Attending Herron School of Art 28 years ago was the highlight of her life but two daughters, who are the joys of her life, and her corporate career beckoned. With a recent move from the suburbs to Emerson Heights, her friendships with artists greatly expanded. The newly formed group, the Eastside Art Collective, has provided both inspiration and support to encourage Teresa to finally get back to creating art.

Keith Blanton
Visual Arts: Mixed Media, Murals, Painting, Visual Arts Instructor, Works on paper
Keith Monroe Blanton, born in 1951 to a farming family whose roots can be found in their 1832 homestead farm located on the northeast side of Indianapolis. My earliest memories are of the beautiful people and images associated with the family farms. Beginning with the ability to hold a pencil, I have always sketched and painted the beauty that God has placed around me. It is where I find my peace and my calling. Like most people, my interests over the years have been divided. I received my education in Engineering from Purdue University. The skills that I possess in Art are gifts from God. I have had no formal educational training in Art. My early and middle adult years were spent on the pursuit of an engineering career in the design and construction supervision of roads and bridges throughout Indiana. But, my love has always been in the art of oil painting. To capture on canvas the moment in time, the sparkle in the eye, and yes the very spirit and soul of the person, object, or scene that I am painting. I have always loved the work and passion found in the paintings of the old masters. My years of work as an engineer has aided in the further development of an eye for finite details and an absolute desire to create an heirloom that will be loved and will be cherished for generations. The paintings of Keith Blanton have been on display at Mayor Ballard's office, the Mayor of Indianapolis and have been at galleries in Indianapolis, Zionsville, Fishers, Greenwood, South Bend, Goshen, and Plymouth, all in Indiana. Keith has also received awards at shows and exhibits throughout Indiana; the following are a list of a few: The Indiana State Fair: over the past 30 years, numerous ribbons have been received ranging from "Third Place" to "Honorable Mention" DeFries Gardens: In the 2010 Garden Art Show received the following two awards: "Best of Show" and "Honorable Mention" Heartland Regional Art Exhibition in 2009 received the "Popular Choice Award" Spencer Gallery, 2012 NIA Exhibit, received the "Judges Award"
Born to a farming family whose roots can be found in their 1835 homstead farm located at the northeast side of Indianapolis, my earliest memories are of the beautiful people and images associated with the family farms. I have always sketched and painted the beauty that God placed around me. It is where I find my calling and my peace. The art of portraiture is the greatest way to honor a loved one, and the capturing of that moment, that spark in the eye, is my greatest desire.

Jeff Bottom
My work is still in the constant development stage every painting is a little better than the last moving toward a finished style I perceive to be the ultimate for me. I generally paint landscapes, or objects of interest to me. I use a lot of paint drying each coat before the next this gives the final piece a true depth weather I'm using brush or knife.
Anthony Bowers
Visual Arts: Murals, Painting, Works on paper
"My work is a process of addition by subtraction. I am always thinking of ways to describe an object or picture by showing what it is not. I also enjoy experimenting with different media when ever possible." Anthony Bowers
Chad Bracken
My work, in general, concentrates on public space. It seems that the space provided for reflection and enjoyment is most often only used for rest or meeting. I use images to highlight what can be overlooked in these spaces. Through reflection and the appreciation of aesthetic in a space freqented by the pedestrian, enjoyment and appreciation can be highlighted.
Becky Brill
Visual Arts: Film, Photography
"My photography is very diverse based on the mood or location that I am in. For many years my focus has been photographing flower in their most intimate details. In recent years I am experimenting with the tonal qualities of black and white. As co-owner of a fine art greeting card company my focus has expanded to become proficient in landscapes and various other types of work." Becky Brill
Michele Burns
Visual Arts: Mixed Media, Painting, Sculpture
Art gets me out of bed in the morning. Each work begins with the question "What if?", and then the adventure begins. I studied art at John Herron and Indiana University. Most of my art that is one composition by day and another by night because I incorporate photoluminescent minerals that absorb any visible light and then shed it for 8+ hours when the lights go out. I've had South Studio B17, in the CCIC in Indianapolis since 2016- Open First Fridays 6-9 PM, or by appointment: 812-679-7422
Lydia Burris
Multi Arts; Visual Arts: Constructions/Collage, Illustration, Mixed Media, Painting, Portrait, Sculpture, Visual Arts Instructor, Works on paper; Installation
Lydia Burris is a mixed media and multi-subject artist. She often compares her work to the sense dreams: a place of ambiguity, emotion and surrealism, peppered with snippets of symbolism and meaning. The mind and how it works is a recurring theme in her artwork. In the studio she experiments with both 2D and 3D mediums. She playfully splatters, scrapes, constructs, destroys, and reconstructs her way through the creative process. Her subjects range from a deep darkness to delightful whimsy. Another of her passions is poetry, often through found and cut text creations. She is a fanatic about sketchbooks, and works in one daily. Her most recent series (2020) involved mixed media collages revolving around the yearning to travel mixed with her love of fantastic people and places. In 2004, 2005 Lydia traveled to Norwich, England where she received her Masters of Fine Art from the Norwich School of Art and Design. She keeps an art studio in Downtown Indianapolis, and teaches studio art part time at Ivy Tech. She shows her work in galleries, participates in art events, and vends at conventions such as GenCon and Horrorhound Weekend. (Pre-pandemic) A full list of events for each year can be seen on her website.

I create all of my work from an overwhelming desire to communicate that which transcends explanation. I wish to bring the raw forces of creation & beauty to the surface as a means to translate experiences & visions into sharable mediums. It is my belief that art has the ability to transform by resonating the fundamental energies deep within our beings. I believe art has the ability to unlock the potentials of our highest selves.
