Charles Houska
Houska Gallery
http://www.houska.com/
I met Charles at his gallery-home in St. Louis, MO. He moved here a couple years ago from Chicago where he started his artistic career as a graphic designer. He was pleasantly surprised to find his own art connecting with people, so he moved back to Springfield to work more on paintings, gradually moving on to St. Louis, MO. Besides his acryl-on-canvas artworks, Houska paints murals and fiberglass sculptures, his art appeared in a verity of forms, from credit cards to city buses.

James Hoff
Callicoon Fine Arts
James Hoof (b. 1975) is an artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. His work encompasses paintings, sound, performance, and publishing among other media.
I chose these wall paintings made of copper and wax exhibited in Callicoon Fine Arts Gallery because they caught my eyes with a depth of shades. It is just copper but it looks like a full color painting with all the details.
Yoan Capote
Jack Shainman Gallery
http://www.jackshainman.com/artists/yoan-capote/
Yoan Capote uses sculpture, installation, photography and video to create analogies between the visual poetry of inanimate objects and the intangible world of the mind. he merges incongruos items, such as organs and mundane objects, to plumb ideas of humanity. I personally find some hints on politics and humor with a bit of cynical tone in Yoans' works and that adds a bit of courage to them.
Jenna Bauer
Houska Gallery
I met works of Jenna Bauer in Hauska Galley in St. Louis, MO. Very colorful and bright colors are striking and caught my eye first. She uses paintings and installations to illustrate nature and create visual effects. Besides her main job - art, she's teaching Art to non-art major students in Webster University.
