| "Jerry Garcia" by Tobin Bortner Digital Print on Archival Matte. Original Illustration done in Graphite and Poppy Red for its hallucinogenic properties; Indigo Blue, True Blue, Crimson Lake; and Yellow Ochre. Look closer for six song lyrics and one song title: “Lately it occurs to me what a long strange trip it’s been.” (Truckin’); “Whistle through your teeth and spit.” (Touch of Grey); “Trouble ahead. Trouble behind. And you know that notion just crossed my mind.” (Casey Jones); “Roll away the dew.” (Franklin’s Tower); “Wave that flag. Wave it wide and high.” (U.S. Blues); “Let it be known there is a fountain that was not made by the hands of man.” (Ripple); One More Saturday Night. Look Closer Illustrations. Tobin Bortner’s pieces are original works of art that are intended to inspire how we can better encourage and challenge each other. The popular musician portraits combines Bortner's love of music with visual artistic talent. When illustrating pop art images, he listens exclusively to the tunes produced by the musician being drawn. After researching their life and career, and listening to only their music, he knows what lyrics and/or song titles are appropriate to hide in the drawing. Tobin says, “I am especially enchanted with each musician’s ability to make deeper meanings than just words and notes in a song. If the viewer is familiar with the music, the hidden text will cause that favorite music to play in their mind.” |

| Randal Ford Photography - Framed Photo Titled Black Swan No. 1 30" x 37.5" Photographer Notes: When I was finishing The Animal Kingdom, I felt that it was important to include a Black Swan fine art portrait because of its symbolism. As an artist, I never hoped my work would foreshadow a difficult time. The Black Swan Theory is one that refers to a seemingly unpredictable event— one with widespread and unexpected ramifications. ...Events like this shake our foundation and causes us to look inward, to extend our hearts outward, to reflect on what we do have with more gratitude then we knew possible. Randal Ford’s animal portraits have been published in two coffee table book, The Animal Kingdom (2018) and Good Dog (2020). Both books received widespread recognition from publications such as USA Today, Parade, People, Dallas Morning News, Texas Monthly and Wired. Ford's work has also appeared on more than 20 Texas Monthly covers, and he has been commissioned by iconic brands worldwide for the past 20 years. Randal Ford's large format limited edition photographs reproduce at a scale with stunning detail, incredible depth, and a level of sharpness rarely seen in other animal photographs. Ford is based in Austin, Texas, and often travels for shoots in New York and Los Angeles. For fine art print sales and behind-the-scenes videos visit randalford.art.

| "Amethyst" by Jan Heaton One framed original watercolor on paper. 7"x 7" image. 11"x 11" frame. Jan Heaton’s art quietly unravels a story that creates an emotional connection with the viewer and reminds us of a feeling, place, or time. A quest for the natural beauty that surrounds us, her paintings are inspired by the structure, color, and patterns in nature. Working in watercolor, her organic forms integrate with the texture of the heavy cotton paper. The marks, pigment selections, and translucent layers are precise, thoughtful, and carefully planned. Jan’s observations on how color influences our well-being are translated into a visual escape. A reverent personal journey created by thousands of stories, life experiences, and what brings her peace, inform Jan’s desire to offer a new perspective on familiar forms. She opens a window to the beauty she finds in her world and offers it up for the interpretation of the viewer in her works. Born in Detroit, Jan is a third-generation artist. Her artwork is represented by galleries and art dealers in Austin and San Antonio, Texas, and San Francisco, California. She teaches at Anderson Ranch Arts Center, Mexican Culinary Traditions, Oklahoma Arts Institute, the Contemporary Austin Art School, and the Peninsula School of Art. |

Noelle started making jewelry over 20 years ago in the Bay Area, then eventually working with other designers, including Kendra Scott in Austin, as a lead designer, and created pieces that her line is still based on today.
