This month's featured artist is Katie Marks. Katie Ann Marks is an artist born and raised in Dayton, Ohio. They started drawing at a young age and really began practicing portraiture as a senior in high school, with their main medium being graphite from a BIC mechanical pencil. Their portraits are carefully done with meticulous attention to detail, giving them a sense of intimacy and realism like you’re staring at a photograph. Since then, they have developed skills with digital design and have expanded into stop-motion animation, working with bands on their art and on the set of a stop-motion full length film. If you need any particular work done or have any questions, head to www.katieannmarks.com.

This particular installment includes the collection done with photographer Jennifer Taylor’s photos of local bands. Her solo work is also featured in the exhibit and you may contact her at www.jennifertaylorphotographer.com.
