ARTIST INTERVIEW
ANOTHER REALM BY JENNY BOOT
​
Are you ready for this? Jenny Boot will take you to another realm. Her photography is bold, strong, vulnerable, stark, powerful, and beautiful all in one. The artist began her career as a painter, but found it somewhat limiting for her vision. Photography is a medium that allowed her to be more in control of what she was looking to communicate. The outcome is just pure stunning.

- Patty Maher
​
Take a look at the work from this amazing multifaceted artist that makes us stop for a moment and just think. Well isn't that just what we need to do more of these days.

INTERVIEW / VILLALBA'S VISUAL POETRY
VISUAL ARTIST - EMILIO VILLALBA
BY: FELICITY CARTER
​
Mr Emilio Villalba is a fine artist, a modern day one whose art both smacks you in the face (in a good way) and intrigues. His thick, sticky paint and plenty of it, is coupled with abstract-meets-surreal content which is designed to make you stand still, interpret and contemplate.

"I spent over 7 years in art school but graffiti taught me more about art than anything else. Working with a limited palette, color theory, composition, and Problem solving are all essential to graffiti. I think of Graffiti more as a form of folk art than anything else, But it completely affected my worldview."
​
With his show "Worlds Apart" Amir H. Fallah, the Los Angeles painter, describes his work as "An ongoing exploration of issues of Immigration, borders, and the right for a better life for all people regardless of where they were born." Fallah's work in one word, captivating.
