Madolyn Locke
In this digital age, where we are bombarded with information at every turn, my work gives me the opportunity to convey the stories I want to tell in the space of one image. If I can capture the attention of my audience for even one moment, and make them think, I have succeeded.
My work focuses on capturing a fantasy, a dream, or even a fear. I work to create magic & mystery both in my own artwork & client commissions.
My work has been seen in galleries across the country, including Atlanta’s own Dragon*Con Art Show!

Anita S. Moore
My name is Anita S. Moore. I enjoy painting science fiction, space escapes, a smattering of amusing fantasy, and the Cthulhu Mythos. I have been told boyfriend, and art director that my art falls into the Primitive category. One of my favorite artists, Ellen Clark, once told me that my Cthulhu Mythos work had a particular humor to it. And so it does I certainly have fun painting it. I work primarily and acrylics although I have been known to work in oil. Prints available here range from Works completed in the 90s to newer works in the mid to present 2000s.

Julia Morgan-Scott
Her imagery reflects sources from mythological and religious iconography from Western, Asian and ancient sources. She draws my inspiration from many sources: the Renaissance; 19th Century French Salon painters and the English PreRaphaelites; 20th Century Surrealists and Symbolists; and the wonderful illustrators of fantasy and science fiction. Now, in the 21st Century, I’m newly inspired by the fresh energy of the Outsider and Kitsch movements.
