James Swanson

Based outside of Chicago, James Swanson creates paintings of dogs, rustic scenes, coastal views, nature, and other animals. With an enjoyment for sharing his passion and knowledge for art with aspiring artists, he infuses that passion into his fine art creations. From safe harbors to winter in the city to hay barn cats, we think his artwork can be a great way to create a charming and refreshing atmosphere. If his art feels familiar, you may have seen him work with brands like ESPN, McDonald’s, and Soap Box Derby,

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.

Eduard Warkentin

Berlin-based artist Eduard Warkentin creates paintings of abstract city and nature scenes. Interested in depicting geometric forms of urbanity with color, he tries to be “minimalist without sacrificing detail”. From colors of autumn to winter in the park to Amsterdam buildings, we think his artwork can be a nice way to create an intriguing, urban atmosphere.
