Christy DeHoog Johnson BFA, Kendall College of Art & Design | MFA, Cal State Long Beach
Christy is an illustrator and abstract painter. Her work is described as “at the same time whimsical and sophisticated”. Christy uses color as a springboard for her process while maintaining a playful approach to lines and shapes. Though formally trained as an illustrator, her work more often explores abstraction. She combines collage, drawing and painting in her work for a look that is fresh, appealing and original. web: www.cdehoogjohnson.wixsite.com
Michelle Newman BFA, University of Michigan
Michelle is a graphic designer and abstract painter. Her minimalist paintings feature rich colors, surfaces and textures through a complex layering process that incorporates mark making, collage and oil pastels mixed with either encaustic (hot) or cold wax. Her extensive experience in design informs her work’s rhythm and graphic sensibility resulting in work that is essential and honest. instagram: @newman_studio05
