Our Artists
Woodrow Nash
"The human shell, outward appearance, or the external form merely distinguishes us from others. Deep inside each of us exists the moral fiber of who we really are. Nash's visual representations of the body work metaphorically and methodically to explore the masculine and feminine form - these works reveal the essential 'spirit' of man." -- Woodrow Nash
Heather Moss
Known for her trinity signature symbol, Heather Moss, stands on her spiritual convictions and reverence through her art. Moss never signs the front of her pieces as a sign of reverencing the Holy Trinity as the source of all her creativity. Always shying away from media and photos, she diverts all attention to her art and never herself.

Terry & Jerry "Twin" Lynn
"One of the best-known “artists” in Memphis is Twin, actually a longtime collaboration between brothers Terry and Jerry Lynn.

William Tolliver
"William Tolliver is truly a rags-to-riches story. Reared in abject poverty he had none of the advantages most people take for granted. Lacking both education and art supplies, with little encouragement from his environment, the gifted Tolliver had to make do with what he could teach himself from books at the public library. Now a veritable master of all media, William Tolliver's successful career bears witness to the fact talent can -and will- triumph over the worst of odds." -- Art Gallery International
