Cavanaugh’s technique draws inspiration from classical fresco methods, resulting in soft, glowing surfaces that feel both timeless and contemporary. Each portrait centers on subtle gestures and expressive eyes, allowing the viewer to connect deeply with her subjects. The compositions feel tender, refined, and quietly powerful.

Sweet Dreams by artist Martha Rich
Sweet Dreams by Martha Rich feels like stepping into a candy colored subconscious where emotions are exaggerated, expressions hover somewhere between joy and confusion, and nothing takes itself too seriously. The series delivers bold, saturated paintings filled with wide eyed, pouty characters who look like they just woke up mid thought and decided to stay there.

Sea Level Street Art by Hula (Sean Yoro)
At first glance, it feels like a mirage. A woman appears to be resting in water, her body half submerged, her expression calm and unbothered by gravity or waves. Then you realize it is a wall. A seawall, a pier, a forgotten concrete edge. This is the quiet magic of Sea Level street art by Sean Yoro, who works under the name Hula.

Artwork by Jason Martin
Jason Martin’s work lives in that thrilling in between space where painting starts behaving like sculpture and sculpture politely pretends to be painting. His pieces do not sit quietly on the wall. They protrude, ripple, swell, and catch light in ways that feel almost confrontational. You do not just look at them. You feel them, sometimes before you even realize why.

Double Vision Portraits by artist Alex Garant
Alex Garant creates painted portraits that immediately grab your attention through a striking visual technique: the eyes. In her Double Vision Portraits series, each subject appears to have multiple eyes layered carefully on the face. The effect is both mesmerizing and slightly disorienting, like looking through a kaleidoscope or catching a reflection in fractured glass. This signature distortion gives the paintings a surreal energy that lingers long after you first see them.

Abstract Paintings by Gus Hughes
Gus Hughes creates abstract paintings that feel dense, physical, and quietly emotional. Heavy layers of paint build the surface, pulling the viewer in before revealing occasional familiar shapes that hint at portraiture. You start looking for faces. Sometimes you find them. Sometimes you do not.

Paint Forms by artist Kim Keever
There is something wonderfully liberating about Kim Keever’s process. Based in New York City, the artist creates abstract works by dropping paint into water filled aquariums and letting physics take over. No sketches. No strict plans. Just color, movement, and chance. The results feel playful and unpredictable, which is exactly the point. Each piece captures a fleeting moment that can never be repeated. Paint blooms, sinks, spreads, and dissolves in real time, forming shapes that feel both organic and otherworldly. What you see is not designed in the traditional sense. It is discovered.

Ecotone 2014 by artist Jacob van Loon
Jacob van Loon’s Ecotone is a mixed media portrait that feels raw, deliberate, and quietly confrontational. Created as an assemblage on panel in diptych form, the work explores tension, overlap, and contrast, both visually and emotionally.
