Kaylea Carico
Digital Art
I am a mixed media artist. Originally I started working with acrylic on canvas, and have since found a passion for digital art. I often use music as a form of inspiration for my art. Recently, I have designed logos and stickers for a local t-shirt shop, and have even created a variety of “band tees” of my own. I enjoy creating digital art because it is so versatile.

Elias Lemus
Digital/Oils
I’m an artist/illustrator working mostly digitally as of late. My favorite subject matter is anything fantastical or fable-esque. Humor is fun, but just simply good storytelling coupled with expertly executed imagery is my jam.
Anthony Carico
Acrylics
I am a lifelong doodler and have always enjoyed drawing cartoons. Along the way, I took a stab at painting and kind of came up with what I refer to as Artoons. Lots of color with bold outlines.
Pieter Vargo
Ceramics/Charcoal/Oil/Acrylic
I am a full-time artist from Omaha NE, with a background knowledge of fine arts and psychology. My main focus in medium is oil paint and acrylic paints. My goal as an artist is to use my knowledge of psychology and my artist abilities in order to express, human thoughts, emotions, and experiences through the act of painting. By doing so I hope to showcase the experiences of the day to day person that not many people get to see. This could be in the form of a battle with faith, mental disorder, family issues, and countless other “invisible” experiences. In doing so my hope is it will showcases the ideas that no one is truly alone, and that in the end, what we go through, makes us who we are.
Madelyn O’Connell
Acrylics/Watercolors
I grew up in the Nebraska countryside with three older brothers. Being surrounded by nature gave me a plethora of opportunities to observe from life and draw. The itch to create never faded, and art continues to be a crucial part of my life.
In my work, I most enjoy creating animal portraits. I attempt to create an emotion between the subject and the audience through use of color and body language that is portrayed in my pieces. While I mostly engage in the use of acrylic paint, I enjoy exploring various other mediums.

Prints
I AM A LOCAL SELF-TAUGHT ARTIST BASED IN THE OMAHA AREA. I CREATE WITH AS MANY MEDIUMS AS I CAN: PHOTOGRAPHY, BLOCK PRINT, PAINTING, OIL PASTELS, CLAY, DRAWING, AND CARVING.
MY ARTWORK HAS BEEN THE TANGIBLE FORM OF MY HEALING JOURNEY FROM A RELIGIOUS EXTREMIST UPBRINGING. IT’S MANIFESTED AS A FORM OF MEDITATION, APPRECIATION, AND ARTICULATION OF EACH PART OF ME, AND CONSEQUENTLY, THE WORLD AROUND ME.

Tattoo Apprentice/Acrylics/Graphite
I have been a Tattoo Artist for 8 years and specialize in Watercolor, Japanese and Fine Line Tattoos. I also paint, draw, sculpt and am always trying to master new art mediums. I enjoy playing board games, family pong, watching movies and bike riding with my wife, two beautiful daughters and stepson. My family inspire much of my art. Sipping bourbon or a nice IPA are my guilty pleasures. Other than that, I drink a lot of coffee and I love my plants.
Tattoo Apprentice/Acrylics/Graphite
I’ve always loved creating art! My focus has been acrylic paintings of flowers and animals, and graphite portraits. I enjoy the creativity of a floral painting, while also the challenge of a portrait. I love seeing a piece of artwork come together to match my vision. My inspiration has often times come from my own home, as I love painting my cats more than anything!

I was born and raised in Omaha and have been doing art as long as I can remember. I love creating digital art for my YouTube channel. I also paint, draw and make jewelry in my spare time.
Tattoo/Acrylics/Digital
I have been a tattoo artist for 10 years, I am from Colombia, I specialize in watercolor, blackwork, full color and fine line tattoos. I have tattooed all over the world and participate in different tattoo expos where I have won several recognitions. I want to inspire femininity and sweetness. This is a space where we are going to do magic on the skin, it is a quiet place where the idea is to share and inspire people and have them have a pleasant moment. Remember that it is not just a tattoo, it is capturing art on your skin.
