Artist name: JP Weber
Artist statement: I am a self-taught artist who turned to painting in 2016 when I found myself observing self-destructive, internal patterns leftover from childhood. I had discovered my truth: “I didn’t choose, I didn’t discover, I was shown.” Without the words to express what I was experiencing I began painting the essence of my discoveries.
Driven by an untamed curiosity I use vibrant colors and various techniques to excavate the truth within.
Through art I aim to rekindle the curiosity in all of us. I have created over 800 works since that day and I am grateful to be able to share the healing power of art with others. A small sampling of my work can be seen on Instagram @johnhamster.

Artist statement: My artistic process always challenges my creativity and knowledge. It is a space where I am able to set the rules while I explore how the materials interact with each other and the piece starts developing itself, while showing me things I didn't know were there. This allows me to know myself a bit more while I learn and make mistakes.
Creating art is a way to stop the world outside and focus on very simple things like gluing a cardboard box against another.
It is a form to explore the different ways a simple act like that can be done. It often makes me realize that life and my own issues can be simplified the same way.
