When Lisa made the
Design Team Call
just a few short weeks ago, we were expecting some great submissions.
But we were overwhelmed by just how many great submissions from a huge
variety of artists we received. We’re truly honored that so many artists
view Artistcellar as a company they want to work (and play) with.
Thanks so much to all those who submitted. As Lisa said, it’s hard
picking only five from such a wonderful list. But without further ado,
we would like to welcome and introduce our third Artistcellar Design
Team:
Gabrielle Javier-Cerulli
is an artist, art journaler, and archetype consultant (are you the
goddess? the rebel? or the storyteller?) She’s the author of
No Ordinary Woman: Tips for Conscious, Creative, and Healthy Living.
She is also the creator of the iPad/iPhone app Archetypes4U. Her
favorite colors these days are fuchsia and vermillion orange. Her new
best friends are ink sprays, however, her long time companions are
acrylics. It’s all about texture, color, and abstract flow in her mixed
media work. She also holds a M.A. in expressive arts therapy.

My name is
Jackie P. Neal
from Upstate, N.Y. Since I retired last year, I have renewed my love
and passion with Art. There are so many new and cool things in this
wonderful artsy world, that I am attempting to try each and every
technique and product! What I have discovered, is that my favorites at
this point are stenciling, doodling, BRIGHT colors, and collaging with
papers and elements. I like to get up around 5 am grab my tankard of
coffee and head for the studio- usually not reappearing until 2 or
3:00pm-earlier if a tasty snack is announced! I look forward to creating
with you and hopefully inspiring your muse to dance with your
creativeness! and remember- Art Is Not Optional.

Renee Zarate:
I am a mixed media artist living in New England. I have been married
to my very supportive husband, Joe, for the past 20 years. My favorite
art medium changes often but right now I am working a lot with spray
inks and acrylic paints using stencils to achieve unusual backgrounds
for card making, art journals and other projects. I love a challenge so
I have been submitting my art work to different magazines for many
years now and have been published in 5 different Stampington
publications. I also teach classes sharing different techniques.

Sarah Trumpp
is a mixed media artist known as ‘that weird girl with the tattoos’ in a
teenytiny town in rural New York where she lives with her husband,
three kids, six fish, and a tiny goofy Chihuahua. She has an almost
frightening stencil addiction and enough art supplies to open her own
store, but she is especially drawn to water-soluble media, spray paint,
and acrylics. She loves circus sideshows, zombies, old mythology,
toasters, and glitter nail polish. She blogs regularly with her BFF at
wonderstrange.com and less regularly at wonderstrumpet.blogspot.com.
She thinks you’re awesome.

nature. Theresa’s artwork ranges from representational to abstract. She
has developed several series related to the human form. Recently,
printmaking has been added to her body of work. Theresa’s exhibits
include the Arts Arena Gallery in Delray Beach as well as the Boca
Museum of Art School in Boca Raton. She has been selected to be
published in the May/June 2014 issue of Cloth, Paper, Scissors.
