MELANIE RICHARDSON
2026 + Studio Art
Owner of Lynn Galleries
I am interested in promoting painting works for commission. I am adept in painting figures, faces, animals, and scenery. I also delve into surrealism, although my recent works don't reflect that. The services I can offer are painting realistic portraits of individuals and animals and creating realistic or surrealist scenes from whatever descriptions the client provides.

ASHLEY LIMBAUGH
2026 + Landscape Architecture
Owner of Ashley’s Arts
I created Ashley’s Arts to share my landscape paintings with the world while learning digital art in high school. Since then, I have been dedicated to painting landscapes daily, both digitally and traditionally. I enjoy simplifying or amplifying the parts of the environment to make compositions more magical. I find inspiration from the natural landscapes, around me and how the randomness of nature can be so beautiful.

2027 + Chemistry
Owner of nailsby.t.r.i.n
I started selling press ons when I realized how expensive getting any design besides a french tip at a salon was. I was already making reusable press ons for myself and making extra ones for fun so instead of allowing them to just collect dust, I decided I could help others have more expressive nails.
