Originally from Nantucket, MA, Josef Kardell has been living in Baltimore for several years, creating art in multiple forms including electronic music, short film, poetry, painting and drawing. Having graduated from Peabody Institute with a degree in Music Composition, Josef turned toward daily painting practice during the pandemic, citing mental health benefits of making art and the “visceral need to move.” Described by some as “controlled chaos,” Josef’s unique style of painting is abstract but precise, and frequently recalls nautical themes from his childhood.
Sonny Lacey
I am fascinated by the light on manmade objects. Water, wind and reflection are wonderful things to chase. Richard Estes and John Berkey are inspirations to me, and the continually changing city and ocean is a fantastic supply source.

Kristin Wiebe
Influenced by Matisse and Gauguin’s bold and emotive colors and shapes, I try to disconnect from strict realism without losing an image’s central theme. My paintings are inspired by people and sights from my previous work abroad, and now from my new home
in Baltimore, which is just as colorful and troubled as anywhere else in the world.
