Kelly Evers is a talented artist that we have been digging over at Cool Art. She hails from Brooklyn, NY, who has also procured a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. And although she works a day job, Kelly is working on becoming a not so starving artist full time. She also plays in a band called Macaque.

Kelly describes herself as a normal person with an active imagination. From her bio:

I find the modern day virtue of workaholism to be unreasonable, unhealthy and neurotic. My motivation to make work is a delicate balance of pleasure and compulsion.

The key to making good art? Pay attention.

Sarah Spitler is a Gawker Artist and is extremely talented. She was born in Columbus, Ohio 3/4/83 and is currently producing work in central San Francisco. The following is part of her artist’s statement:

I am concerned with layering the systems and structures of our physical world against those elements more ephemeral in their nature. Form, for me, relates to the structure and specificity of geography. Geographical form, such as the pattern of land against bodies of water, is seemingly arbitrary; however, it is contingent upon an infinite number of determinates: the system of erosion as influenced by temperature, the molecular structure of water, the vicinity of cities and infrastructure, jet streams and currents, geological and soil composition, the species of surrounding foliage, continental plate construction, etc . . . Contingencies influence the physical aspects of our world; the layering of imagery is also about contingency because, as in science, they force us to make connections between two ( perhaps ostensibly disparate ) elements.
