Sara Simpson
Sara enjoys the tactile experience crochet and embroidery bring to both the artist’s process and to the viewer. Inspired by bold colors, music, and heavy emotions, Sara seeks to create an experience that is both whimsical and emotional. Her goal is to welcome the viewer to step into her colorful world and find the emotion that hides behind the whimsy.
Monique Luck
Soulful figures textured with emotion emerge, revealing colorful, lyrical stories moving fluidly across canvas. Luck models the features of figures and natural forms using fragments of found paper. “As I assemble a collage, I often wish I could rearrange pieces of my life as I do pieces of colored paper.” she explains. “Each day I am reminded that life choices are not as easily moved.”
Luck is an award-winning international artist and muralist. She has exhibited her work frequently at galleries and museums across the US.

Miriam Simmons
Miriam started painting in July of 2020 – during the pandemic summer. She always knew that she would paint one day, and this season of strange uncertainty brought her face to face with the right time. Once she started painting, it was as if she tapped into an underground spring – and since then, she has been splashing in the fountain.
Miriam had a passion for art and design as a child – it has been with her all along. Although she did not pursue art and design in her college studies, art and design have pursued her. In a very organic fashion Miriam began work in interior design and enjoyed working with homeowners to create spaces of beauty and comfort for their families and friends. She loved all types of home design and her mantra was and us “a home tells you what it needs.” Eventually, Miriam began working full time in an administrative position that afforded her an opportunity to learn and do a deep dive into a new arena – graphic design. Miriam’s full time administrative work fuels her love of order and organization. During after work hours and on weekends, you will find her in her newest favorite pair of dangly earrings – creating and painting while her playlist blares happy and soulful tunes.
Miriam paints in acrylic and she also loves collage. Painting a piece and deconstructing it is her jam! She paints on canvas, paper and panels. Her art is influenced by many things. Her love for interior design drives her color, texture and style choices. Her constant muse is the coast of low country South Carolina – with its colors and strong horizontal landscapes. She often jokes that she has given herself completely over to the color aqua. You will find it in varying shades in all of her works.
She believes that
…beauty is everywhere
…nothing is wasted
…everything has a home
…it is never too late to set a new goal or dream a new dream.
