Akira Gordon

University of the Arts

I work primarily in oil on wood panel or stretched canvas. I am interested in working with black figures and creating environments to put them in. I apply a colorful underpainting before using oil paints so that my work has a vibrancy or transparency to it.

Hannah Healy

Studio Incamminati

I've been studying oil painting for three years at Studio Incamminati, School for Contemporary Realist Art. Painting from the live model and studying anatomy, light effect, color relationships, tool handling, and more has improved my skills immensely. I am thrilled to be learning from painting masters, and I apply my new skills everyday.

Olivia Hiester

Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts

I work primarily in oil painting and drawing, as well as in monotype, relief, and intaglio printmaking. I aim to reconcile the demands of working from life with the abstract demands of pictures as worlds in and of themselves, distinct from the reality they represent.

Justin Kapp

Studio Incamminati School for Contemporary Realist Art

I'm interested in painting and drawing people directly from life. I like to keep a tight focus on the individual and make compelling compositions from a handful of variables, the model, their seat, perhaps some other elements in the room. I seek to capture the specific person that I'm painting and to do so without preciousness or overly rendering and polishing.

My work consists of medium to large scale oil paintings on panel and stretched canvas. I work from observation and imagination, hoping to find how paint can connect these two sources of inspiration.

Nathan Vasko

Pennsylvania College of Art and Design

I mainly used acrylic but use whatever comes into my possession. A painting will usually start with a background I get funky with or an outside reference and once thats rendered on the canvas I let the universe do the rest.
