About Nash Bellows:
Nash Bellows' digital collages called ‘Dreamscapes’ are made from photographs gleaned from the Internet. Her fantastical landscapes represent places you’d see in a dream—lost memories merging spaces that could never exist together in the waking world. Her pieces redefine the boundaries of visual storytelling in the digital realm through meticulous curation of photography and digital elements. Each collage is a harmonious convergence of disparate fragments that transcend the ordinary and form a new reality that invites viewers to reimagine perception. Guided by a passion for experimentation and a love for the surreal, Bellows’ collages challenge conventional artistic norms in landscape and storytelling, offering a kaleidoscopic journey into the intersection of technology and creativity. It's an exploration of the limitless possibilities inherent in the digital medium, where pixels transcend the confines of traditional artistic expression.
Bellows received her Bachelors of Fine Arts with an emphasis in printmaking at Sonoma State University and continued to study painting at San Francisco State where she received her Masters of Fine Arts. Currently, she is living in Council Bluffs and working in Omaha.
About Charlene Potter:
Charlene Potter’s artistic passions include hand-built porcelain clay and designs drawn from the natural world. Her artistic creations feature self-invented ecosystems that showcase plants, animals, and whimsical creatures in the wonderment of nature.
Charlene received her BFA from Bellevue University and has participated in several national artist-in-residence programs. She has been a member of the Artist’s Cooperative of Omaha since 2017.
