Thank you for collecting my POAP at The Evening of Arts 2024! 'Bloom Where You Are' is all about embracing the beauty of our ability to grow in any environment, despite where we believe we should be in life. A reminder of the power of nature, and how it can inspire us to persevere and thrive, even in difficult circumstances. -Natalie Elle 🌸

Nathan Karinen is a multidisciplinary artist & graphic designer currently living in Detroit MI. His work explores the human form, aiming to capture the essence of his subjects. Through a reductive painting process Nathan creates unique and graphic representations that captivate and guide the eye through these bodyscapes. His exploration into the abstract from realistic roots creates a style that captures the essence and the humanity of a given subject.

David is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist working primarily in ink, paint, and printmaking. His practice exists at the intersections of science, imagination and reverence. David creates place-based work that aims to encourage engagement with land and inspire a life affirming connection with the natural world. In this way, he hopes to speak to a felt, emotional aspect of land protection, as opposed to a strictly factual approach. His intention is to empower people to act on the stewardship of land in backyards, neighborhoods, and homes. All land is sacred and should be handled as such.
