New A Life, Still Submission Kenneth ProseusBeyond FearWake Tech Community CollegeInk and charcoal on Bristol Board19” x 24” unframed Statement: One of the most important and often overlooked emotions that people have is fear. From from ridicule, fear from the unknown, fear from not living up to our potential. This fear binds my hand as an artist and it causes me to hesitate and become frustrated with my work. However, once I overcome that fear there are profound oceans of understanding and creativity that pour out onto a blank page to show the parts of me that are now unbound and free.  Artist Bio: Though I studied art in varying ways since I was young, I never had any interest in pursuing an art career until my senior year of high school. Originally I found drawing appealing because I was able to show the ideas and beliefs that I held in my head that were unable to be seen by others. Now I see my potential talent as a powerful tool of change, for both myself and the world.

New A Life, Still Submission! Hannah M. Cannon Floral Arrangement 30” x 26”Graphite Barton College   Artist Statement Nature is not only important to man’s existence, but it also defines our representation of beauty. I’ve always had a love and passion for the natural world. Nature has always been my sole inspiration. I work to capture the essence and beauty of organic forms. I do this using pencil, charcoal, and other drawings materials.   Recently, I’ve been exploring botanical forms via drawing and painting. I’ve been experimenting with the use of space in my compositions to emphasize the beauty of organic shapes and natural color concepts, which is commonly used in Asian literati paintings and Ikebana arrangements.

New A Life, Still Submission! Ginger GrimmTitle:1 of 24Wake Technical Community CollegeCharcoal and white conte on drawing paper18” by 24” (unframed) In considering the syntax of the title ‘A Life, Still’, the concept behind ‘1 of 24’ was expressing movement and life through a still image. A fast food drive thru, being that it has become symbolic of the pace at which modern life moves, fit well in developing the concept. ‘1 of 24’ means that what is captured is only 1 of 24 continual hours of drivers about their busy lives pulling in, and pulling out. I began taking interest in drawing when I was 10 years old. I enjoy experimenting with all sorts of mediums as well as different styles to express my ideas.
