A stylized skull represents La Catalina, a well-known symbol of Día de los Muertos. In countries like Mexico, deceased ancestors are honored with vibrant decorations, candles, and photos. Artist Darlene McElroy captured this celebration of life through a mixed-media approach, using dimensional collage materials and acrylic paint to bring the tradition to life.

About the Artist
Artist Darlene McElroy weaves textural surfaces, found objects, and rich symbolism to create a visual tapestry. "Creating a painting is like doing a puzzle; it is a matter of finding the right pieces," says Darlene. Her works delve into the imagery of man's primal origins, sins, and religious conflicts, inviting viewers to uncover multiple stories within each piece. A Southern California native with roots in a long line of New Mexico artists and musicians, Darlene's artistic vision is profoundly shaped by her Hispanic upbringing. With her three dogs by her side, Darlene works in her home studio, filled with natural light pouring in through the windows. Beyond her art, Darlene explores new techniques, writes art books, and hikes with her pets.

Holding a cup of coffee, an NYPD officer heads out to investigate. As snow falls around him, he becomes fixated on a clue, both literally and figuratively, leaving him out in the cold. Across the street, a warm and inviting glow beams from the windows, hinting at the comfort and life within the buildings. Artist Keith Thomson uses a combination of oil paint and ink in this artwork.

About the Artist
Alabama-based artist Keith Thomson creates quick-witted, mixed-media artwork that blends realism and surrealism. His background as a political cartoonist in the 90’s is reflected in the sharp storytelling his artwork achieves. He combines stylized realism and everyday subject matter with surreal details and ironic twists. He begins his work as digital sketches using an animation software, then he transfers the sketch onto the canvas and begins applying oil paint. In addition to painting, he is a writer, of mostly spy novels and nonfiction articles. His writing prowess shines through in his witty descriptions of his pieces.
