Andee Axe

Visual Arts: Mixed Media, Painting

Andee Axe makes art that smiles at you. And it makes you want to smile back. No matter what color is on her brush, she paints from a palette of vivid emotions, happy memories, and pure joy. Whether familiar or famous, the subjects in her paintings aren’t afraid to have fun and take you along for the ride. They dance. They wink. They sparkle. They use bold pop colors to celebrate the brightest moments we share with the people who we love. Each painting sends a burst of happy into the world, and that’s something we can all appreciate. Andee is the kind of person who has never been able to sit and watch the paint dry. From an early age, she has always had her sleeves rolled up, always ready to enthusiastically make a splash on any canvas she could find. She studied two-dimensional fine arts at Moore College of Art and later worked as a licensed artist inside Philadelphia. Her independent work appears in numerous private collections and can be seen in Philadelphia Galleries and her private studio by appointment.

Linnie Greenberg

Visual Arts: Mixed Media, Photography

I don’t know what compels me to get up each day and rifle though images and hand-painted papers to find the odds and ends I paste onto a canvas, board or piece of paper. I’m quite obsessed. I guess that selling vintage picturebooks for nearly two decades had a hand in this manic pursuit as I so love the illustrators of these books who greatly influenced my choice of subject matter – colorful, imaginary landscapes and creatures. Using painted papers and ephemera, I make whimsical worlds filled with critters, carnival whirligigs and joyous, playful people wearing funny hats and bow ties. If the result makes me laugh, I’m satisfied. If the result makes a viewer smile, I consider it a success. I’m playing photography. Oh my. What fun! Stephen Hawking said, “We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe.” I’m so grateful and cognizant of my one life and aim to fill it with laughter, love & fun. Making art is playful. It fills me with joy. It’s fun. It’s as simple as that.

Lynnette Shelley

Visual Arts: Mixed Media, Painting

Lynnette Shelley is an award-winning Pennsylvania artist specializing in contemporary mixed media animal and nature paintings. Having a great love of wildlife, patterns and archetypes, Shelley fuses these influences into her strikingly unique artworks. Her highly detailed and complex compositions are created using a sophisticated process developed from a buildup of multiple layers incorporating techniques in both drawing and painting – from crosshatching to ink splatter to linear painting. Some of Shelley’s work (her “fauxsaic” paintings) also incorporates elements of collage in which she adds hand-colored and cut watercolor paper to the artwork in a process that resembles mosaic tile. Shelley’s animal and nature themed artworks have been displayed nationally as well as regionally at museums, art galleries and other venues. In 2021, Shelley was awarded “Master Artisan” status by the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen. Originally from Delaware, Shelley lives in Ambler, Pennsylvania, and maintains a private studio in Norristown.
