Never Falls Far
While Noah specializes in detailed illustrative works, he often practices as many various mediums as possible, including all forms of painting, pen and ink, linoleum printmaking, and additive sculpture. His current body of work involves illustrating endangered wildlife and incorporating human’s impact on the environment while doing so. His work has been shown from North Carolina to California in several shows and has won 1st place awards along the way. He has been invited as a guest artist at residencies in Iceland and Costa Rica, though the latter is still to happen in July 2024. With plans to continue his career as a freelance painter and Art teacher at Hunter Huss High School, Noah is also focusing on trying new forms and styles as often as possible and keeping his horizons broad.
Noah Hartley is a young artist from North Carolina. From an early age art was clearly the main focus, drawing over the majority of his mother’s furniture and walls. This led Noah into private home lessons in elementary school, then into advanced high school art classes, and finally into a BFA in Illustration from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

Noah is also the Visual Arts Teacher at Hunter Huss High School. He enjoys teaching art not only because it can inspire and motivate other young artists to thrive creatively, but also because it forces him to keep his craftsmanship sharp and technical skills constantly improving.
New Arrivals
Subodh Maheshwari was born in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, North India, where she learned folk art and classical music. She passionately believes: “In the threshold of my life, my present is the window to the past and a key to the future”.

Her paintings have also won awards in a variety of categories, including landscape, open, all women, nature, elements, seasons, and abstract.
Subodh is a diversified artist who enjoys telling stories through her artwork, whether it is through landscape, flowers, or abstract art. Her art is a fusion of Eastern symbolism and Western composition, influenced by 16th and 17th-century Rajasthani and Mughal art, and accented by poetry, passages, and phrases in Hindi, Sanskrit, and English. She admires Georgia O’Keeffe for her floral influence and Frida Kahlo for her courage. Whether it is the serene beauty of nature, her spirituality, or the current political climate, she finds inspiration. Having a life shared between India and America, she sees the beautiful similarities, like love, which transcends all borders. Highly individual in her style, her works are described as emotional, mysterious, personal, spiritual, and humorous.
New Beginnings: Fluttering Hope
Born and raised in Columbia City, Indiana, Natalee Wright creates in a small art studio on her family’s farm. Art has always been a part of her life, from selling fingerpainting artwork as a young child under the tree in her front yard to her current explorations in art to promote growth, healing, and creativity in others at Artful Transformations. Natalee’s work is as eclectic as her influences, as she enjoys working in many mediums with many subjects in many different styles with the firm belief that each piece should not be limited by a specific movement or medium. She is a member of the Fort Wayne Artist’s Guild. Natalee has been invited to many juried group exhibitions including the Biafarin Awards (2023), Gallerium’s Spirituality Group exhibition (2023), Heartland Artists Gallery Juried Exhibition (2023), KBM Studio’s Paint Your Heart Out exhibition (2023). Her artwork, Mariposa Reve: A Quiet Reflection has been published in Artistonish Magazine (September 2023).
As an eclectic and intuitive artist, I’m on a journey to rediscover the magic of self-expression. After years of dedicating myself to helping others in the fields of criminal justice and psychology, I’ve rekindled my passion for art and embraced my true calling. Amid the pandemic, a series of unfortunate and unforeseen events occurred in my life which led me back to visual arts, opening a world that I truly had missed. My art speaks to the journey of grief, healing, and growth in the wake of my difficult times and connects with others who have experienced those emotional struggles. It confronts others to contemplate their own emotions, traumas, and grievances and encourages them to focus on their resilience, growth, and healing. My purpose is to inspire others to celebrate and embrace vulnerability and authenticity in themselves and others.

Photography has been my passion since early childhood. My motivation is to discover and capture the beauty, even when it is not always readily self-evident, that surrounds us continuously in all areas of our everyday lives.
New Paradigm Of Mixed Media And Medium Arts
Bobby is an “end-to-end” digital artist (who does all the work himself) with specialized skills in digital image/video generative and derivatives arts, etc., using multiple software, techniques, and programming to derive his creatives.
Bobby believes that most artworks exist due to the urge of artists to express themselves. In recent years, the rapid advancements in digital science may have opened up more ways for artists to do just that. These techniques could include using Augmented Reality (AR), Audio & Vid, website extension, 3D modeling, metaverse, cross mediums mixed media, etc. This application of digital science to traditional arts created a hybrid known as “Digital Arts”, which is understood by many as “artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process”. However, in Bobby’s opinion, whereas digital technology is mostly used in the creative process, it is currently underutilized in its use in the presentation.
Bobby further believes that digital arts will eventually bring about a paradigm switch as to how arts will be appreciated in the future. Expression may no longer need to be confined to the creative itself as participation and engagement may now be “extended” outside the realm of the original canvas with the help of technology onto other “digital devices” such as mobile phones, VR glasses, etc.
Although Digital Arts may span from Digital Painting on iPad-like devices to AI-generating arts which Bobby is familiar with, Bobby favors the in-between, known as “digital derivative” arts which involve more of image and video processing. He also favors the following elements in his creatives: (1) Light (e.g., shining or contrast); (2) Space (e.g., depth, 3D); (3) Time (e.g., still or motion); (4) Strong colors; (5) Optical Illusion.
The artwork is in line with the theme, calling for depicting things that have influenced an artist and his or her artworks. I feel that this artwork is indeed my own individual perspective, style, and creative vision resulting in art that deeply reflects my fundamental personal practice. I guess the bottom line is I am being “influenced” by the “thought that digital arts could sometimes fill the voids that traditional arts may find difficult to equalize”.
I could feel how the elements in the title inspired me to derive my finished creatives. In “New Paradigm of Mixed Media and Medium Arts”, I intend to demonstrate perhaps yet another uniqueness of digital art, where the paints never dry (because they were not wet in the first place), or the mixed media could go beyond materials to different mediums such as audio and visual.

Many of my paintings are abstract and inspired by a strong sense of place such as one experiences in nature, in an urban landscape, or even beyond, into the universe. My work explores geometric designs and composition by using odd shapes, often bright colors, and illusions of space and depth.
Painting abstractly is a passionate challenge of mine, and I like experimenting with acrylics and oils, applying them to the canvas in interpretations of such topics as time, water, nature, physics, or the cosmos. As an intuitive and exploratory painter, I work mostly in acrylics, oils, and mixed media.
My favorite inspirational art periods are the ones leading up to and including Abstract Expressionism (both American and European), from 1905 to 1950, when artists globally were diverging from traditional representation and forging new visual imagery in spite of nonacceptance and even ridicule from art critics and the general public.
My work has been shown in many metro-Denver art shows and was recently juried into several national shows.

My photojournalism seeks to capture a cinematic, unreal quality of the instant captured.
New York City At Night
My name is Leshan Li, and I’m a high school artist based in Florida. I focus on realistic painting because I believe that even ordinary things can carry deep emotions if you truly observe them. My art is often influenced by both my Chinese background and the artistic training I’ve received in the U.S. Over the past few years, I’ve been honored with several awards in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, including Gold Keys and a National Gold Medal. I enjoy combining technical precision with emotional storytelling, and through my work, I try to reveal the quiet truths hidden in everyday life. This year, I’m graduating from high school and will continue my art studies this fall at the University of California, Irvine, majoring in Fine Arts. Painting helps me understand the world better—and I hope it helps others feel more seen, too.
My ultimate pursuit in art lies in profoundly understanding reality and its true presentation. During the creative process, we do not merely replicate the surface of things, but transform specific objects into abstract language through our own perspectives, and achieve new combinations and expressions through this abstraction. In this process, my task is to capture and present those overlooked details, allowing the audience to perceive deeper truths through the works.
New York City, 2015
I am a photographer, a musician, a writer, a drug addict with 33+ years clean, and a mental patient who has been involuntarily hospitalized on over a dozen occasions.
One of my primary influences is the work of Garry Winogrand. Sometimes dismissed as a little more than a snapshot photographer, his philosophy of taking pictures was, if anything, the opposite, at least during the early part of his career. He believed that looking at the result of his work would contaminate the “innocence” of his eye. He did not want to be influenced by past successes and failures. Sometimes he would wait as long as a year before he would look at the result of a shoot.
But somehow the act of shooting became predominant and overtook, and ultimately eliminated, the act of making photographs and having other people look at them. The acts of printing, editing, curating them, and ultimately displaying them faded away, whereas the act of taking photographs became his only link to photography. He became obsessed with seeing the world through his lens, but to no artistic avail.

When he died suddenly in 1984 at the age of 56, he left behind approximately 2500 rolls of undeveloped film and 4000 rolls of film which had been developed but never even contact printed. Depending on storage conditions, exposed film will only last so long before it degrades in the canister, so a substantial amount of his work will never be seen. However, I believe that there is much to be discovered beyond what I consider to be his canon: that is, photos that are seen repeatedly and which are quite striking. Most of them are black-and-white street photography, although he did publish an entire book of color photographs.
