Bonnie loves living in Asheville and has always had a passion for art & animals. She received her B.A. in English Literature and minored in Studio Art at UNCW. With experience in both acrylic and oil mediums as well as ceramics, she enjoys painting wildlife and dreaming of faraway places. She has volunteered at the Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington and participated in art shows herself; the 46th Annual Fall Foliage Festival in Waynesboro, Virginia, Gallery 44 in Brevard, NC and also sells giclee prints & other artwork merchandise in the North Carolina Arboretum's Gift Shop. Her Mixed Media Workshop, Memory Maps, at the Asheville Art Museum will be held on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2020, and YOU are cordially invited. :) Bonnie believes that painting can be such a therapeutic activity to do- both fun and relaxing- a perfect creative outlet as well as a rejuvenating escape for any and everyone. She donates 10% of her artwork sales (Wild Oakview Studio) to the WNC Nature Center.
Erin has been involved in the arts, from performing to painting, since the 7th grade! She performs as a Living Statue (aka The Granite Goddess), for festivals and special events and she makes all of the costumes and props for her various statue personalities. She is an actor & director who works on short films and plays from time to time. She recently adapted a short novel her brother wrote into a play and produced it at The Actor's Center of Asheville. She loves to travel, so much so that she works for United Airlines part-time. Her favorite destination so far has been Kenya! In her spare time, Erin likes to cook, listen to podcasts and hike with her husband, step-daughters and their dog, Hugo!
Daniel recently moved to the beautiful mountains of Asheville with his wife and daughter from Houston, Texas where he managed for a growing health food concept as well as worked for a couple of Painting With A Twist studios. Born and raised in Louisiana, Daniel began his career as an artist from a young age. He is able to pull from his years of study as a student of architecture and experience as a freelance graphic designer and apply those skills to his professional oil paintings. His photo-realistic work ranges from landscapes and seascapes to figurative and portraiture. In 2014, Daniel published his first (written/illustrated) children's book, "Where May I Pray?" Asked Ella Mireau. With his second book nearly complete, he hopes to continue creating dialogue between children and parents about social acceptance and civil liberties. When Daniel isn't painting, he fans his passion for coffee as a small coffee vendor in downtown Asheville. His spare time involves hiking and exploring the WNC area...usually with a local craft beer in hand!
My name is Juliana Garces and I am an artist on the mission to help raise the human collective consciousness. Currently, I make fine art, own a mural company, and teach painting classes. My strengths are creating art with meaning and visionary themes and teaching others how to connect to their artist within.
