VISUAL ART

  • 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.

    My business consists of crochet plushies, art prints, stickers and keychains. I use all of my own original art to make my prints and stickers. I use my original paintings so that I can put my art out there and share my work with others.

  • 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.

  • TRINITY GUIDEN

    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.
