  • Fine Artist

    Adrianne Tamar Arachne, a Colorado-based visionary artist, pulls spiritual concepts, bioluminescent sentience, and surreal dimensions from the ethers. She paints with a merging of strong technical abilities, a deep sense of magic, and a soul-centered relationship with the Earth. Her art is a living exploration of the intersection of the human and more-than-human worlds through remembering the magic of our interconnection.

    My art has always been the place where I explore the magic of Spirit: the Spirit of other humans, the Spirit of the Earth around me, and the Spirit of my personal relationship to our interconnection. This exploration has led me down a path of painting symbolic explorations of both human and more-than-human life.

  • Tintype Photographer

    Noyel Gallimore has been a photographer for over half of his life, and for even longer a maker - capturing memories and creating whatever his hands and mind would allow. Analogue photography has always felt like the perfect combination of conceptual and tangible art forms. Noyel’s favorite part about the antique process of wet plate collodion is how hands-on it is. Delicately preparing and mixing various chemicals, practicing careful and meticulous technique, creating images with such unique and timeless qualities, and having his hands in every step of the process. Second to that is meeting so many wonderful people and seeing their response when they first see their tintype portrait appear in the fixer.
