Andrea Lopez
Vancouver, WA-based artist Andrea Lopez creates mixed media art of still lifes, animals, and nature combining realistic and abstract elements. Inspired by color and its delicious combinations, the vibrancy of her heritage and her daily work practice, she aims to use “color and whimsical details to turn ordinary elements of our existence into a magical and joyful story”. From slow dances to queens of the underground to red landscapes, we think her layered artwork can be a wonderful way to create an eclectic and joyful atmosphere.

Karen Budan
Based in Scottsdale, AZ, Karen Budan created Limited Edition hyperrealism paintings of martini glasses, fruit, candy, and other still lifes. Inspired by a mix of unexpected places, she loves the challenge of “transferring the complex subtleties of the color, texture and light patterns of the composition”. From lemon drop martinis to loaded dice to sugar highs, we think her artwork can be a bold way to create a vibrant and invigorating atmosphere.
