Traditional Mediums
 (Painting, drawing, collage, mixed media, sculpture, etc.) Kim McCarthy Visit the siteHailing from Seattle, Kim's site, Urban Soule, is rich with creativity. The majority of her work is spray paint and ink on stenciled canvas or wood with, as suggested by the medium, roots in street art. However, incorporating themes of the self, pop imagery, koi fish, crows and medical references - her work is at times lighthearted and personal with a decidedly feminine nuance. The iconographic approach used in her work creates a cohesive body of work with broad appeal. Honorable Mentions: |

Photography
 (Includes all photography) Stephanie Alpizar Visit the siteOminous, surreal and intriguing only begin to describe the work of Stephanie Alpizar. Her photographs at Abraxaslove are highly stylized and strangely narrative with subjects (all female) that are simply yet dramatically lit. These images invoke a slightly eerie emotion and seem to capture a moment within a darker storyline. We can't wait to see more... Honorable Mentions: |

Functional Art
 (Ceramics, Glass, Fabrics, Knitting, Furniture, etc.) Keeley Yates Visit the siteIn a nod to the Machine Age, the jewelry designed by Keeley Yates is inspired by the geometric shapes and sweeping curves of Art Deco. While the work is at times angular, suggesting the inner workings of man made tools, such as a clock, it is also organically inspired by items found in nature such as leaves and creatures. The result is a signature style that is a union of elegant machine and primitive nature. Honorable Mentions: |

Digital Design
 (Digital Art, photo manipulation, 3d rendering) Ronald Harrison Pelley Visit the siteBringing the passion of a traditionally trained artist to a mathematically rendered world can make for a fine mess. However, fine artist Ron Pelley was thrown into this exact scenario when crippling rheumatoid arthritis forced him to put down his brushes. This work doesn't attempt to hide it's rendered soul by mimicking brush patterns or a photographic field of focus. Rather, in it's stark photorealism-like approach we become aware that composition, light and form are every bit as important in sim art as in the real world. Honorable Mentions: |
