CARRI COLVIN: Create from the heART
Carri’s "Scratch the Surface" series shows a gilded canvas torn wide open to reveal something beautiful emerging from the darkness. Brushes with hardship can become strokes of inspiration and hope on our life’s canvas. With picture, sculpture, and story Carri Colvin shares her love of nature and her passion to inspire others to live with hope.

With picture, sculpture, and story Carri Colvin shares her love of nature and her passion to inspire others to live with hope.
MAUREEN GOLGATA is a classically trained artist, whose recent body of work explores metamorphosis and the dichotomous essence of life. Her paintings foreground beauty and light against darkness, resulting in bold expressions, both turbulent and poetically rhythmic that question what it means to be human and our role in the natural world.
Maureen will be exhibiting with Cube Art Fair, NFT Edition during Art Basel Miami 2021 this December.
