Ito Chieko
Based in Japan, Ito Chieko creates mineral pigments and acrylics on traditional Japanese paper of female portraits with bold colors. Depicting subjects as brightly dressed and somewhat moody, each woman is clothed in traditional Japanese garb with eye-catching patterns. From beckoning butterflies to bamboo and dragons to drifts in the sunset, we think their artwork can be an interesting way to create a vibrant and cultural atmosphere.

Andrey Pingachev
Vancouver-based artist Andrey Pingachev creates detailed paintings of scenic landscapes, small towns, and more. Destined to become an artist even before he was born, he continues to “explore new ways to express myself with new forms or styles of visual arts”. From beautiful days to deserted beaches to steam clocks, we think his fine artwork can be a wonderful way to create a serene yet refreshing atmosphere.

Julia Borg
Based in Malta, Julia Borg creates oil and acrylic paintings, watercolors, and mixed media art of flourishing landscapes, blooming flowers, and other outdoor scenes. Inspired by the great Impressionist artists, her motto is “to live, to create, and to love”. From summer rain to magic lakes to voyages of life, we think her nature artwork can be a lovely way to create an invigorating and colorful atmosphere.

New Limited Edition Artists
Khleo Morris
Chicago-based artist Khleo Morris creates Limited Edition paintings of music icons and other famous faces. Inspired by film processing where she found that photographic negatives held subtle attributes not quite captured in the developed imagery, her aim is to “explore the power of duality in the subject and invite the viewer to explore that power within themselves”. From Bruce Lee to Keanu Reeves to Jimi Hendrix, we think her artwork can be a great way to create a vibrant, pop culture atmosphere. If her portraits seem familiar, you may have seen her work selected for the Black Creativity exhibition in Chicago, The Other Art Fair Los Angeles, and Hairachy exhibition in Detroit.

The Stereo Typist
The Stereo Typist creates Limited Edition digital art of concert posters of legendary bands. With a love of pop culture and music established as a kid when he discovered his parent’s record collection, he says the “Beatles’ Yellow Submarine animation left an indelible impression” on him. From Nirvana at Reading Festival to Frank Sinatra at Sands Hotel and Casino to The Beatles at The Empire Theatre, we think his artwork can be a fun way for many music fandoms to create a bold atmosphere. If his style feels familiar, you may have seen him produce album covers for artists like Paul Weller and Fat Boy Slim.
