This is theinquiry that has guided my work this yearas I reflect on my growth as aneurodivergent individual. Instead ofviewing my differences as a hindrance asI have my whole life, I decided to embracethem and use this portfolio as a chance tothink about what it means to beneurodivergent.

My artwork is both formalistically representational and occasionally abstract. As a geologist I see the many, overlappinglayers of the landscape and how the land has been modified by a combination of processes, both natural and manmade.Draped on top of the land itself are mankind’s activities and structures that are collectively called “progress.” Within the subtle beauty of the landscape I like to tease out what man has done to that land and make the viewer wonderwhat is going on and why. It is yet unclear if all the competing land uses can co-exist and how these changing dynamics willimpact the land(scape). The images are fundamentally aesthetic, but leave you questioning the subject matter, providinga springboard for discussion.EVAN ANDERMANSouth Park SunriseComo, COPhotograph11" x 48"2008$2,000Nature's CapillariesLandmannalauger, IcelandPhotograph36" X 54"2012 $4,500 Farmer PaletteYuma, COPhotograph30" x 36"2014$1,500Hanksville Hills #2 UTPhotograph24" x 36"2023 $2,500Moving MerchandiseTorre Vado, ItalyPhotograph20" x 24"2015$1,000Private AreaDubrovnik, CroatiaPhotograph20" x 24"2014$1,000

GROW LOVEInspired by Eckhart Tolle's reflection on flowers as messengers of the sacred, my work explores the interplay oflight, color, and nature’s essence. Flowers, with their fleeting beauty, serve as a bridge between the physical andthe spiritual. Through spray paint and acrylics, I capture this radiance, using light to reveal the deeper,enlightened energy of plants. In my latest series, I juxtapose vibrant abstract backgrounds with delicatelyrendered flowers, merging spontaneous mark-making with detailed floral depictions. Drawing from Rococo’sornamental roots, I reinterpret its indulgent beauty as a celebration of the feminine and sensory experience.These works offer moments of aesthetic escape, celebrating nature’s ability to inspire joy and transcendence ina chaotic world.Her Tender HeartAerosol & Acrylic on CanvasDiptych39" x 126" x 3" $6,500Enigmatic DanceAerosol & Acrylic on Canvas27" x 39" x 3"$1,200 White Poppies on Blue &BlackAerosol & Acrylic on Canvas48" x 48" x 2"$5,500Chrysanthemum CadenceAerosol & Acrylic on Canvas60" x 48" x 2"$7,500

JENNIFER HOHLFEDERI was raised in Boulder, Colorado by artistic parents. After studying art in aclassroom setting, I spent years in independent studio practice honing myskills using oil paints on canvas. For many of my figures, I refer to old familyphotographs or scenes from my own travels or memories, using bold hueswhen taking the viewer to another place and time. Each painting is meant to immediately bring to mind a particular emotionsuch as relaxation, weightlessness, or release. Sunny scenarios appearheavily in my work as, for me, they invoke enjoyable times, consistently liftingthe mood. Ultimately, nostalgia in my paintings is explored as an ideal thatcan offer joy and perhaps a reminder to appreciate the fleeting moments oflife.

Olive is a visual artist from Los Angeles currently living and working in Denver. She received her BFA from Otis College of Art + Design in2011. The bold graphic colorscapes, line-work and movement are referential of Moya’s background in illustration and lettering. Shedescribes her paintings as “abstract storytelling,” influenced by how Frank Stella described his own work, saying: “[Abstraction] couldhave a geometry that had a narrative impact. In other words, you could tell a story with the shapes.” Moya pairs the soft consoling colorsof her childhood with the vivid influence of her early-adulthood in Los Angeles. She uses the pale turquoise of the wallpaper in herchildhood kitchen, or the faded nostalgic hues of Disney films on VCR against saturated primaries, striking yellow-greens and hot pinks.

TALIA SWARTZ PARSELLFor the past few years, my work has focused on exploring the visual concepts of memory and place. Awhole life of layered moments and memories captured in specific places in time have created thisunique story that we each have to tell. Because my visual imagery is often non-specific in detail butubiquitous in content, I believe that my illustrated memories invoke a familiar sense of place thatresonates with my viewers. This emotional connection and personal attachment is what connects us to visual art... both the makerand the viewer. Every one of my paintings is a story about a connection I have to something in my life.
