Emma Terry
Drawing and painting
I have always loved painting, ever since I was around 3 years old. What I like about abstract art is that you use your own creativity and imagination to come up with what the painting may portray. I also always felt fascinated by landscape pieces and nature, so I decided to combine the two in my artwork. I used to use very mild, and unsaturated colors in my artwork, but I have found that a brighter and bolder piece would be much more pleasing to the eye. I often don’t plan out my paintings, instead, I just start painting. My inspiration often comes after I paint the piece.
Emma will also be offering face painting during the show

Crochet
My crochet journey started almost 2 years ago, when my cousin taught me how. I started crocheting wobbly-edged squares with her. After that visit ended, with many hours poring over YouTube videos and books, my crochet journey took off.
I learned how to make amigurumi (the Japanese word for a small, stuffed doll) and now that is my main focus. I love working with different yarns. Somedays I go for a thin, non-natural acrylic yarn and thread, then the next day with fluffy and bulky yarn or velvety yarn. Something I am working on now is crocheting with the natural, homespun wool my sister makes. It’s great for making pieces that are nature inspired.
I like playing with colors- making something red when it should be blue is fun! I love rainbows and brights. My goal is to crochet things that make me smile, cheer somebody up, or add to a happy occasion. I take inspiration from things I see wherever I go. I crochet every day and I love it.
Aloe McQueen
Jewelry
Jewelry making is one of my hobbies, and I’m always interested in trying something new or expanding my knowledge of it. I enjoy making adjustable rings and earrings with beads, and many of my designs include queer pride colors. I have always been an artist, and plan to always be one. I am glad my art has come down this path of jewelry, and I love to sketch. I do my best on every piece, as if it was for a friend or for me to wear. My jewelry makes great gifts, and I am open to the idea of commissions.
