BEN GORDON<br />

ARTIST BIO: Ben grew up in sunny Central Phoenix. As a child he went often to the Phoenix Museum of <strong>Art</strong> with family, and on<br />

school field trips. Curiously, he rejected the more commonly appreciated Cowboy artwork, and started exploring and investigating<br />

more contemporary abstract works. After several years away from Arizona in his early adulthood, he finds himself once again, back<br />

in the Phoenix area, again enjoying the sun. His work now reflects the landscapes of his various places of residence throughout the<br />

United States.<br />

STUDIO LOCATION: Seattle, WA<br />

AKIKO HIROMOTO<br />

ARTIST BIO: Akiko was born in Hokkaido, Japan. She moved to Taiwan at an early age and eventually immigrated to the United<br />

States after getting married. Akiko finds inspiration in fabric patterns, weavings, found objects and images, and the unique color<br />

patterns she encounters during her travels and daily life. Her work is about the exploration of process and color. She works through<br />

building up and scraping away paint to excavate the image within. Her canvas is a playground where she plays with the line<br />

qualities, mark-making, shapes and colors.<br />

ARTIST LOCATION: Seattle, WA<br />

CAROLINE ALKIRE<br />

ARTIST BIO: Caroline Alkire creates stunning, surreal collages from images cut out of vintage National Geographic magazines.<br />

Drawing inspiration from artists like Dali, she creates introspective dreamscapes with paper, scissors, and glue. You can see more of<br />

her work and buy prints here.<br />

ARTIST LOCATION: Burlington, VT<br />
