ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Brittany Boynton is an artist and illustrator from DeSoto, MO who makes art always for some reason. She works with themes of hope, humor, pop culture becoming one with personal memories, family, and partying. Americana vibes.
In her latest body of work “Reason to Believe”, Brittany documents vice and sacred celebrations amongst daily life that help us get by even though we have to go to work every fucking day. She celebrates pride and love despite dysfunction.
Clark Mosier (son of Brittany Boynton) is a two year old artist living in St. Louis, Missouri with his dog Freddie and cats, Sunny and Shirley. He likes identifying colors, stacking, scary monsters, running, bugs, Elvis, Bruce Springsteen, The Jackson 5, The Wiggles, Pokémon, and Cocomelon.
In his new body of work “That’s the Same Thing” he compares shapes, draws Daddy Circles, Mommy Circles, Maw Maw Circles, Paw Paw Circles, etc. and asks, “What color is this”.
Lex Kosieradzki is making improvised music with the saxophone and sometimes computer or synth. He likes to play outside alongside the ambient sounds of our natural and urban midwestern environments.
