Painting + Mixed Media
For December, Awaken Coffee will host an opening reception for Hannah Doss and Laura Woodson. Please join them for some amazing art and of course great coffee!
Hannah’s latest body of work reflects a renewed journey of learning and discovery, inspired by a fascination with resin techniques she encountered in a recent class. Hannah’s art predominantly explores wildlife, nature, and portraiture, inviting viewers to pause and savor the intricate beauty of life's small details.
In Laura’s recent work she has navigated her bold use of color with fine line drawings. She uses coffee filters as the foundation of her work and experiments with how color is affected by water. This process creates a watercolor effect that never creates the same pattern twice. Once she has created her vivid backgrounds, she creates fine line drawings of flowers to re-envision the nature we see in real life. She works to evoke joy in each new piece she produces.

November's featured artist is William Downs. Downs' artwork explores themes of ambiguity and distortion viewed through repetition and representation of the human body. His drawings reveal "feelings of anxiety, fear, joy, angst" or desire with compositions inspired by Cezanne that appear dream-like or otherworldly. He often depicts "people who train their bodies to do inhuman things like run a marathon or bend and contort their bodies," in surreal-like, panoramic scenes. Multiple figures are layered with warped perspective, creating contrasting areas of compositional ambiguity and sharp focus.
