Euphoria’s Art Experience

Nathan Jones

Nathan Jones is an artist of acrylic paint. He was born in Southern California, and educated on the beaches, riding waves on water as well as concrete. Thankful to share space with his fellow creators of light, sound, mind, and body.Fond of using fractal algorithms, repetition, and extreme color pallets, Nathan tries to capture a theme he has described as “Zero point energy,” the idea that the beginning and ending simultaneously occur within the very same space. Through his works the onlooker will find this serene polarity in many different variations.

Miranda Lewis

Miranda Lewis

Like most artists, Miranda Lewis’s passion began long before her formal education. Inspired by myths dreams and nature, she sees her art as a vessel of communication – and realizing at a young age she had both the vision and technical skill, she attended Middle Tennessee State University in order to nourish them. There she attained with an Honors BFA with a focus in painting, ceramics, art history, paper making, and book arts. With new discipline and tools, and the unyielding need to create, Miranda relocated to immerse herself into Austin, where she joined the live art scene and became a founding member of the Third Coast Visions Collective. Miranda continues to strive for more opportunities to connect with the local visionary artist community in Austin and beyond.

Chaeli Cardenas

Subtle archetypal work at the subconscious level, combining animal wisdom and color healing frequencies with intention in an alchemical structure is the foundation of all my performance works. Crafting a strange loop; a sensual dance with the fabric of existence, inviting you to come out and play. It is divine alchemy.. granting simultaneously and second-by-second, a blazing window to the soul, to God.. to all of creation.

Chris Bohlin

Where you stand & what you see coincide to the focal point that is your perspective, which you relate to the unique situations created in your experience’s. The goal is to create a bridge of relation that the viewer may or may not be familiar with where this photo is taken, but having their shadow casted onto the print with foot prints from the person before allows you to be able to fall into the environment as if you were there. Even if its for the slightest second; losing yourself in the abstractions of time & space in original wood & plexi monotype prints, photographs capturing those moments in time we often tend to forget or over look. Utilizing some of the first Photo developing Alternative process’s with large format cameras & digital photography.

Steven Teller

Steven Teller was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Steven is a multi-disciplined artist specializing in fine arts and communication design. He creates work in a primarily realistic fashion, shaped by his direct contact with people, society, and life around him, while allowing his interests in yoga and spirituality to intuitively abstract forms with strong references to nature. Steven spent his early years traveling, chasing waves through Florida, and exploring the rest of the country to heighten his experience and awareness of the world.

Steven graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2012 with a B.F.A. in Painting and a minor in Art History. Since then, Steven has kept a home base in his studio in Northern California, while embarking on excursions to sell his artwork at concerts and festivals around the country. Steven hopes to continue that journey to share his artwork and to bring light, love and a moment of presence to everyone along his path.

Shanti Herrington

Shanti Herrington is a Houston based visionary artist. She receives visions through her inner sight, making the soul visible, and she brings a strong realism to these inner worlds. Her visions express themes such as interconnectedness, peace, and the divine feminine. Self-taught, she has been painting seriously for 2 years, using oils and acrylics. Shanti works from her home studio, does commissions, and paints live at events.

Donald Jarvis/GeoCraft

Geocraft Wraps is the artwork of Donald Jarvis. I have been making jewelry for over 2 years now and it is my goal to spread and share a love for the beautiful treasures given to us by this earth, through my artwork and jewelry. Inspired by a love for gems and minerals and a passion for all forms of art, I strive everyday to improve in all aspects of my work which are self taught.

Chancellor Roberts

“We are all faces of the source and hallowed souls; everything and every moment is something sacred to be grateful for. Through my journey I have shared space with so many incredible and unique people whose persona can only begin to be solved through a painting; I have felt the calling to try and capture these energy flows and intimate moments in paint on canvas. Mixing portraits, historical archetypes, mysticism and a dash of psychedelia my artwork is how I make sense of being human. It is a tribute to this life and everyone I’m blessed to share it with.”

Phillip Anthony Suarez

After establishing his flavor of sacred geometry, Phillip Anthony made the next step in his craft with the incorporation of the fluorescent spectrum in combination with uncovering “black light” physics in the forms of perspective geometry. The inertG project is represented best as a package of illuminated holographic full spectrum portal technology in unison with orientation of a refined collection of divine audible frequencies tailored intentionally for the occasion. InertG is the ambassador to the idea behind what it means to “initiate neural existential research through Geometry”.

Christian Amadeus Rodrigue

Christian Amadeus Rodriguez. a.k.a. C.A.R. a.k.a. ChristRod. a.k.a. Lord Hexzen. a.k.a. Kan a.k.a. Sharpened Loyal Seed of Truth {Born July 10th, 1987, 2:28 p.m.} Crab Sea Goat, Fire Rabbit, Unicorn, Seed, Wind, Owl, Road, Dog, Knife. Galactic Tone 3,[ Height 5'8" eyes brown, Ethnic Background, Mexican,French, German, Irish??? (red pubes wtf?)] I’m a San Antonio Texas native. San Antonio’s got this passionate, romantic, wholesome, nurturing vibe to it. Or maybe that’s how I activate it? It’s precious, personal, and beautiful to me. Me homeland. It has made me care about positive growth the way a mother raises a child. I acknowledge and respect all things. I take everything into consideration, not judging things at face value. I look at the shell, the inside, and it’s relation to it’s environment and movement. I see everything as keys unlocking deeper doorways of richer connection and affection. The world is ugly sometimes but it’s a face only a mother could love in it’s entirety, always hopeful it graduates. Cracks, Boo Boos, and shadows are needed to strengthen character sometimes. I do feel like a seed in the wind planting other seeds of art or spirit amplifiers in peoples homes. I’m obsessed with detail and complexity built around core structures. I worship those who are selfless and are dedicated round the clock at perfecting there talents, and creating new things for the world and it’s people. A great man like Nikola Tesla which I share a birthday with. Perhaps one day I’ll share the same work ethic and intelligence. I’m interested in interchangeable symbols. I like how a string can be tied and crossed a billion different ways then unraveled completely form on tug. My desire is to inspire, to get people moving and break there patterns and programs of negativity. Things that hold them back from reaching there full potential. I want to pump life into the meaningless, the way a river pumps life into a kingdom. But cha gotta get your ducks in a row… “Quack!”

Greg Pettit

Gregory Pettit is an American artist born in 1980 in Plano, TX. In 2003 he moved to Austin, TX and after completing his basic studies decided to enroll in the University of Texas College of Fine Arts. Graduating with a degree in Studio Art in 2008, he has since maintained his studio in Austin.

He first began painting in 2006 and by late 2007 had abandoned most of his prior artistic direction to move forward with a body of work that corresponded with his growing fascination with the terror and beauty of trans-dimensional realities.

Endowed with an inexhaustible imagination, Greg has continued to produce a body of artwork that has been exhibited both around the US and internationally.

Striving to create imagery that exists within a refracted sense of space and time, his work is characterized by depictions of transparent machine like forms, fantastic creatures, and geometrically defined sentinel-like structures.

“When I settle down to paint I’m not really trying to paint anything. Images just seem to download and crystallize before me as I move my brushes around. I’m painting out these automatic manipulations of the NO-THING. I often refer to this energy in my own writings as “the articulate fire.” To me it is an infinitely intelligent fundamental force that exists in octaves above ordinary reality, determining the lower world of sensation and form that we are normally imprisoned in. Painting is a functional meditative state where I feel guided by this energy, like it is using me as a tool to show itself.

Jason Bild Smith

In modern times, due to daily exponential information increases, and transportation technology advancements, our physical environment is seemingly ever speeding up, while simultaneously shrinking around us. In such a system, most of us underappreciate (or just miss) a lot of the slower/smaller things. Bild’s aim is to shrink you down, to expand your environment around you, and place you into a macro world where you may temporarily step out of this “reality”, and into the mathematically precise world of crystalline structure. By taking the core sacred geometry growth patterns present in all crystals (very noticeable on macro levels but often perceivably lost in larger specimens) and blowing them up to larger than life proportions, Bild’s crystalline installations allow you to exist on this miniature plane of existence first hand, and experience the magic of the geometry on your own personal time/space scale. The end result can be a slowing down of your world, of your mind, and an expansion of your environment, of your universe.

Bonnie Goodson

Bonnie’s art celebrates the complexities in the world around us, embracing the grey areas amongst all of the black and white. Drawing inspiration from graffiti, naturally occurring pattern, shape, and color, classical painting, dreamscapes, and the female form, she feels her work is derived from her subconscious, visions even she is still unaware of until they take shape on canvas. She rarely has patience to sketch or plan her work, and even with some strategy, it’s all a mystery unfolding at the tip of her paintbrush. By the time she feels she has listened to the canvas, and the image is complete, then she realizes the story she’s been asked to tell. Bonnie allows herself to simply be a tool for channeling the message of the Spirit present within all of us.

Nathan Jones

Painting is when I feel closest to God. It is when I can feel the connection between all of us. This is my offering to the world, and I am so deeply grateful for the opportunity to show you this.

Chops Wanderweird

WANDERWEIRD has been travelling across the United States for the past few years, broadcasting his unique frequency from music venues, festivals, and the sidewalks of his favorite cities.

Nathan Jones

He has recently finished his first book, a narrative illustrated trip set in the geometric thoughtscape of his drawings called REMEMBER, which he hopes will reprogram the collective consciousness of humanity. You can read the entire thing free of charge on his website.

Todd Shepherd

Experience, inspiration, and observation are three things that artist Tourmaline Todd lives for.

In his years exploring the planet, he has used all of his senses to absorb his surroundings. Growing up in the creative center of Austin, Texas he found many ways to express himself, whether it was painting tigers in art class, building forts in the woods, or playing the trumpet and guitar, his talents were recognized at an early age. He pursued his design interests by attending college at the University of Colorado in Boulder and was granted an environmental design degree in 2002.

However, much more was learned in his new environment than what was taught in school. His time in the mountains hiking and snowboarding allowed him to quiet his mind and find that which was unique to himself and what skills he could offer the world. After college, travels to Europe, New Zealand, and a long stint in Hawaii, his respect for nature and his love of creation was burning bright. He returned to Austin in 2007 to pursue his passions of visual and audible art and is now a featured live painter in the Austin live music scene. In the past 6 years, he has painted at events around the country, has had many art shows around Austin, and currently has art hanging on private collectors walls across the country. The present finds him exploring new techniques involving screen printing and new ways to display his ideas including public street art. In the next five years he hopes to be involved in clothing and jewelry design as well as finding his way into local reputable galleries and larger projects around the world.

Fernando Palomo

Fernando grew up in Fort Worth and is currently based in Edwards, Colorado. From a young age Fernando’s artistic talent was obvious. His first grade teacher noticed Fernando’s talent in a response to a simple assignment to draw someone in the room and contacted his parents to encourage more art instruction. While most kids drew simple, age-appropriate responses, Fernando chose to draw the teacher and created a multi-dimensional portrait with a three-quarter-angle view.

His talent led him to study commercial art at a trade high school where he focused on drawing. This time developed traditional skills from working with French curves and learning to illustrate for books, etc. He then attended the Art Institute of Dallas, to study visual communications and commercial art, but also found inspiration in the music scene in the Deep Ellum area of Dallas in the 80s. Ads and signs for underground clubs there were often compelling murals. This scene, along with album covers of the 80s, influenced Fernando to become an illustrator. Other inspirations include pop art of the 80s, comic books, and the artistically motivated graffiti movement, such as the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat. His work now also reflects influences from his travels in Spain, Holland, Germany, Italy and Thailand.

Tyler Ristow

With colorful displays of organic and geometric figures, Tyler Ristow creates awe inspiring images with great depth and detail. Pulling inspiration from the unexplainable synchronicites of life, his work leaves viewers in a trance of imagination. Since 2006, he has live painted in Texas and around the country, curating energy and emotion through the feedback of his experiences. Allowing his mind to be calmed by the ether, he sets forth intention from his heart with the goal of helping others do the same.

Primarily using acrylic paint, Tyler enjoys starting canvases blank when painting live to to allow the over all tone of the show to influence his work. In the studio his work becomes more refined; often expressing spiritual concepts that have come to him through experience, research and meditation, all while honoring the information of indigenous cultures with love and great appreciation.

Christopher Morphis

Born into a typical suburb outside of Houston, TX in 1982, Chris always felt unique. After several different experiences matured him, he realized there was a spiritual awareness about him. Through meditative analysis and by practicing self control, he learned to channel his energy directly into the artwork he creates. Often the energy of the atmosphere and those around him effect his art the most. Several of his pieces convey this aspect of his talent by providing insight into the future, and reflections of the past. In fact, Chris uses painting as a form of meditation that creates a physical manifestation of his conscious and subconscious thoughts.

Richard Ashby

Austin based artist Richard Ashby had displayed and sold work at SSXW, ACL Fest, and Bonnaroo as well as many Austin venues like the Parish, Ruta Maya, the White Horse, and Pacha Cafe. He has also shown his work at every location on the the planet simultaneously via the world wide web. Sometimes he creates woodblock images in a medieval style with the print collective, the Drive By Press. He got some kind of degree from a big state school system in Texas where he studied art, history, and art history. Richard has also created art for several musical artists, including creating the album art for Clyde and Clem’s Whiskey Business, for which he is also the banjo player. Richard will gladly perform singing banjo telegrams if contacted through the proper channels.

Erin Guthrie

My name is Erin Guthrie, and I was born and raised in Texas and call Austin my home of 5 years now. I work mainly in acrylic but am always experimenting with other mediums and methods of creation. My current focus in my work is the use of familiar objects, faces, and creatures that I can manipulate and bridge into something new and visionary. I derive my inspiration from dreams, nature, and the state of my being. My goal for my work is simple, to inspire in others what so many artists have done for me.
