“Anguish,” by Isabella Petty

ISABELLA PETTY is an aspiring writer and photographer, much of her work consisting of nature as well as the darker, twisted depths of the human mind. In 2011, she hosted a silent art auction for charity, where some of her own photography was displayed. With the help of the Colorado Springs art community she raised $1,000 for a family in Haiti. Isabella is currently living in Colorado Springs, preparing for college and spending time with her family. However, after college she plans to travel the world, finding inspiration for her writing and photography wherever it turns up.

“Carnecupulus; Dismissed Messenger of Cupid,” by Daniel Langhans

DANIEL LANGHANS is originally from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and currently lives in Tempe, Arizona. He has a BFA from The School of The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Tufts University. With the involved nature of his profession as a full time Art Teacher, Daniel is constantly working in a wide spectrum of mediums and concepts, but his favorites remain drawing and painting. A far cry from the lighthouse and beach scenes he grew up around in Cape galleries, his current work combines cute and cuddly characters with just a dash of creepy. Cartoons and pop culture icons with his natural twist are taking up residence in galleries and private collections widespread across the U.S., Germany, and Italy.
