Artist



Jason Shelowitz is an artist from New York who has been posting up these signs that appear to be normal. When you read them carefully, you'll notice why they're not so normal. He's one of my inspirations because he's making art that affects the world. He's trying to get a particular message across that isn't so stark, it's comical.
The police haven't taken them down because the signs promote good habits.

Artist Yoko Ono



Yoko Ono is one of my favorite artists. MOst of her work is performance art, also it shows a strong interaction with her audiance

Christina's Inspiration

Erika Iris Simmons is my inspiration for doing a portrait using different kinds of tape for the system project.  She has done multiple portraits using tape and non-traditional materials to capture her subjects in a very graphic way.

Artist-Alison Reagan

Sally Mann


she takes black and white photographs of mainly landscape located in the south and also non traditional portraits of her children, animals and other people

Artist: Sally Mann





Sally Mann is one of my favorite photographers. Her works span from the early 70's to current. Her photographs have a dream like ambience in black & white, the content of the photographs range from landscapes, to decaying bodies to family and friends. Her photo series of Family Pictures are the ones I am drawn to most.

Kumi Yamashita

The japanese artist, Kumi Yamashita creates her art based on shadow: she is a "shadow artist". I find her work remarkable and mysterious in some way. Her artwork is delicate and impressive. I am very inspired by her originality, and her use of materials to create a work so unique.

Artist - Shari Pryce

There’s an artist named Jen Stark who I recently discovered. She does various forms of art such as animations, drawings, and sculptures. I love the vibrant colors and layers that she uses to create her work.
