Christina Kwan
Christina Kwan is an Atlanta-based artist known for her abstract works on canvas, paper, and large scale murals. Originally from South Florida, Kwan moved to Atlanta in 2010 after graduating from University of Florida with a BFA in Drawing. A decade and many different career paths later, the work she creates is an ongoing exploration of her Asian-American identity and the internal struggle of feeling incomplete or existing in-between. Christina began painting murals in 2018 and her studio work has been shown in a variety of commercial galleries and academic institutions. Kwan's murals are featured in a diverse range of spaces and span across the country with states including California, Washington, New Jersey, and Texas. Her compositions feature bold and calligraphic brush strokes inspired by her heritage, acting as a yearning for permanence and a search for wholeness.
Nina Allen Freeman
Nina Allen Freeman creates art as abstractions of nature. Nina’s inspiration is the natural world around her, especially the salt flats and beach areas near her home in North Florida. The water birds and plants that populate these places are a continuing source of subjects. Nina has an experimental nature and frequently tries new techniques and media. The primary focus in her painting, however, is color and texture.
Natalia Andreeva
Natalia Andreeva emerged as an artist from the rich and fertile artistic climate of Novosibirsk, in Siberia after graduating from it's most prestigious art college. During her classical education in the canons of European art she was greatly influenced by eastern philosophy. Consequentially, Natalia's work is a harmonious marriage between spontaneous expressions and classical realism.
Among Natalia's favorite themes are exquisite landscapes, depicting the subtlety of nature, still life, where vibrant shapes and internal dynamics are shown in contrast to the commonplace subjects, and finally, figures and portraits brimming with humanity, and giving testament to the beauty and harmony of the human condition.
Natalia holds Signature Membership Status in the American Impressionist Society, and she was a President Tallahassee Watercolor Society 2023-2024, and has been the President Plein Air Painters of South-East since 2025.
Dean Little
Prior to retirement to Thomasville, Georgia, Dean spent 37 years building his own graphic art and design firm. He produced a quantity of design material on behalf of others. But this phase of his life is personal. He gets to choose anything that piques his interest, be it nature, people, or activity, and apply composition, lighting, and color to express his interpretation of the subject. He believes this is why we become artists. Having that elation makes him want to instill that same feeling in those who are searching for expression through art. For the last nine years it’s been his pleasure to be an instructor of an oil painting class at the Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts, Valdosta, surrounded by enthusiastic students who share the same love of learning. To create a passion in the arts in all mediums, to present the techniques, to stand back and watch it realized and unfold. What a beautiful sight.
