The Rusted Hen
Like most artists, I have been drawing and making art since before I can remember. I continue to dabble in a variety of media, but work primarily as a painter and illustrator. I have always lived in Arkansas, a place I love for its natural spaces. My family loves the outdoors, so I have enjoyed the lifelong love of nature. Most of my work reflects this love, not just because of nature's beauty, but due to the affect that the environment has on us as human beings. I seek to make visible the emotional component that is satisfied through experiencing the natural world.

Tisiphonni
Krystal started like most of us did; with a box of crayons. The thing is, she spent a great deal of time breaking those crayons and melting them on light bulbs to see what new colors she could invent. (NOT an advisable behavior). Twenty some odd years later and she is still trying to create colors and experiences to both excite and inspire the eye. She finds beauty in everything and tries to capture it in her artwork. In early 2010 Krystal took on the pseudonym of Tisiphonni as an art label.
Green Light Gifts

While GLG is a collaborative effort, Cherie is the primary artisan/up-cycler while Paulette writes poetry and depicts scenes from nature in her art.
Phil Morrison
Phil Morrison is an authentic American with a story that should be read by anyone who believes we learn from our personal experience and national history. Seldom have so many forces come together to put a young sailor in the middle of events that would shape the context of a generation. During his rugged growing-up and the choices and circumstance that led Phil (and his brother) to be in the bull’s-eye of actions in the Tonkin Gulf in 1964, his narrative captures the courage, fortitude, faith, and perseverance that his country would need long into his lifetime.
Smooth Yoga
