Featured Artists
Marquis P.
“Art means the world to me. Without art you can’t have pop tarts, car parts or shopping carts. It is in everything.” Creating art means inspiration and motivation for Quis. His art is created with a clear mind but made to express wonder. Quis believes that My Friend’s Place is best at supporting his art with supplies, staff and love.
Savannah R.
For Savannah art is life and without it everything would be dull. Art gives her the ability to draw her feelings out. Savannah says “My art comes from my heart and every piece of art is a piece of me.” At My Friend’s Place she is encouraged and engaged to make art she loves no matter what is going on in her life.
RD
To RD, these earrings and other hand made creations, represent freedom as an indigenous woman who was born on the Land of the Tongva. Her inner light has protected her since she was a little kid fighting the indoctrination of the United States Jurisdiction as she guides herself back to the native country through her soul and mind. She is appreciative of her spiritual journey.
KD
“Art to me is putting effort into expressing emotions through a physical form. It’s a way to vent and be who you want to be. I particularly get mental stability from art by taking time out of my day to do what I want and focus on just that for a moment. I always want to keep my viewer guessing. My Friend’s Place supports my art by letting me explore my talents through multiple activities.”
