Paula Clayton

Artist, Owner of Dead Gorgeous Box, Chicago IL

Paula is a creative hurricane from New Zealand, who has NEVER liked staying within the box. Her usual response to being told "you're not supposed to do it that way" is a quiet but determined "Watch me". Because of this rebellious edge, she is very earnest about people having the option to live their lives in ways that bring them joy, paths of connection, passion and love. She would be honored to be part of the support staff that brings heart to your goodbye.

Jean Weir

Artist, East Lansing, MI

I have painted forever and have taught art almost as long, from preschool to Alzheimer’s patients.  Also I have participated in many art shows and done a great quantity of custom art.
As for styles, I am very diversified but I prefer thought- provoking realism done in oil or acrylic.  I love exploring new ideas, techniques, and materials. Also, I love giving my viewer a visual vacation.

Hang on, I only just told Carol we're putting this up.... she'll tell you all about what matters to her very soon. Fireplace remodeling you didn't know was possible, beautiful pastel work.

Angela Ford

Artist, Chicago, IL

Same with Angela, Writing In Progress, stay tuned. Ask her about lilies and collage art.

Nicole Arciola

Scenic Artist, Chicago, IL

Nicole... ask her about 1920's movies! Or Labradoodles, or custom backdrops. Nicole can render an amazing variety of styles, from airbrushed clouds to classic hunt scenes.

April Hallwood

Artist, Chicago, IL

April is a photographer, but not just any photographer. She is an Artist. Her camera is the tool she uses to capture the FEELING of her subject, not just record its existence.
