DOMINIQUE JOINER
Dominique Joiner (b 1988 Wichita, Kansas) uses her chosen mediums of acrylic and oils to identify the experience of women in a male dominated society.
Dominique has observed the lives of many women from several walks of life and uses the influence of these women to relay her narrative. She uses the ideals of sensuality and affection to draw the viewer in and coaxes them to become more aware with riveting details and underlying messages. Dominique has a goal of pressing women to gain more ipseity, regardless of the rhetoric they are taught to the contrary.
Ipseity starts with awareness, the doorway to change. Many of the artist’s paintings directly depict the chosen problem, with no offer of a solution, forcing the viewer to digest and relate. The use of golden accents is meant to show a sense of majesty and divinity that women carry, regardless of the situation, be it vulnerable or powerful. As the gateway to life, women deserve to be viewed as such.
Dominique’s art will encourage individuals to search inwardly and come to peace with their feelings.

BRITTANY STEWART
A Wichita local and self taught, contemporary visual artist.
Overtime art became a gateway for self expression. My purpose as an artist is to explore around the human conditions, how we fit into the rest of the world. Quite frankly what makes us different and unique. We may never have it all figured out, but I’ll continue to stay reflective because I experience uncertainty and certainty within the same energy.
Withing my work I share my love for color, texture and shapes. My pieces are almost always Abstract and figure based. Understanding that our true portraits are much more than what we see with our own eyes. It’s a much deeper dive into who we are.
Throughout this series I focused on the various stages we may face as we go through life changes.
