Kirksville, Missouri based artist, Darrell Williams, has been honing his airbrush painting skills since 2015. His fascination with airbrush artwork began in his youth after seeing a caravan of custom painted vans in the mid 1970’s. He actively began pursuing the technique while completing his BFA (2016) degree at Truman State University. He continued this while obtaining his MFA (2019) from the University of Missouri Columbia.
Darrell has always been interested in fantasy and space themed genres along with a life-long interest in vehicles. His works reflect this with the chosen subject matter. His use of the airbrush and graphite serve to render work that is highly detailed. He considers himself a realistic illusionist and works to make every piece as realistic and believable as possible.

⭐ Gary is presently the curator/administrator for The Welcome Gallery at Northland Cathedral in Kansas City, Missouri where they are creating an environment for artists to blossom.
"My personal focus recently is on making the invisible visible in terms of bringing clarity to spiritual concepts while making them visually pleasing as well as thought provoking. Art is becoming more of an adventure for me and I am learning to use all three aspects of myself; spirit, soul and body in the making of creations that are often ending up so much more than I imagined at their beginnings. Part of the adventure is in learning to embrace using uncontrollable techniques and happy accidents."

Monica Womack and Jeanie E. Hines both shared stories of how God influenced them to create beautiful art work.
It was an inspirational evening hearing about their creative process! |
|
JEANIE E. HINES
A local Kansas City resident. The complexity and beauty of life and landscape inspires her. Whether it’s a gorgeous sunset, or merely the flash of bird wings in flight, she brushes on watercolors or blends and mixes. She especially enjoys the problem solving angle of painting and often works on her paintings in a section by section method. Watching them “become” balanced in composition, pleasant in contrasts of color by using a variety of application techniques is rewarding and rejuvenating. When a person viewing her work shares that it has connected by stirring a memory or an emotion, she feels the work has accomplished its purpose. |
|
MONICA WOMACK
Born in El Paso, TX but raised in Chihuahua, Mexico until she married and moved back to the U.S.A. At the age of 50 she encountered God and her life was changed. Now, Monica volunteers for a halfway house and is on an art team that functions inside of a 24/7 prayer room. Inspired by the bible, meditation and prayer takes her to a place where she becomes one with God. Monica says, “My artwork is like a door that I can open to a place where I meet and know the Master of Creation.” |
