Meet Kristen Palana
Mixed Media | Acrylic | Digital | Drawing | Ink
Kristen Palana is an American/Portuguese multidisciplinary artist based in Rome, Italy. After decades of work as a digital artist, she reconnected with her fine art roots in 2021. Her mixed media drawings, inspired by the ambitious mission statements of the world’s top organizations, serve as a call to action to visualize better outcomes for our lives, communities, and the planet. Her time living in Myanmar and Malawi from 2016 to 2024 also deeply influences her work, celebrating diverse cultures and exploring themes of unity and oneness.
“I draw the world not as it is but how I wish it could be. I use symbols, icons, and patterns with cross-cultural significance combined with color psychology to help soothe, heal, and reinvigorate weary idealists.”
Meet Ardith Goodwin
Acrylic Paint | Watercolor Paint | Mixed Media Art
“My framework is all about painting beautifully imperfect abstractions and figurative works in mixed media and acrylic with an emphasis on dynamic movement, complex systems, and a side of unpredictability. My art mirrors my life, how I see the energy around all of us, how we connect and move within spaces with others, and how the inner spirit of diversity and variety matter deeply.
With a Master’s in Education, I have taught thousands of adult painters over the past decade by helping them improve their skillsets and identify the framework that is unique to them. I have a unique ability to help painters articulate what their intentions and goals are and then form the action steps they need to grow their skills, business sense, and professional scope for their careers.”
