Artists of the Month
This month, we celebrate the creativity and passion of Paolo Vezio aka SkizzoVez and Tay Lee Richards, our featured artists.
Paolo Vezio a.k.a SkizzoVez
"Born in the southern Italian region of Calabria, Paolo Vezio is a doctor in experimental physics currently residing in Florence. He seamlessly merges scientific expertise with a profound passion for art. As a self-taught artist, his works predominantly focus on horror vacui and the fusion of rigid geometric forms with the softness of living beings, adding a unique dimension to his artistic expression. The idea is to go beyond aesthetics, exploring equality, fragility, and the darker aspects of humanity through the symbolic representation of skulls, rendering all individuals equal in their essence." - Paolo Vezio

Tay Lee Richards
I'm Tay. I've been an artist since I was living in Arizona at 12 years old. I practiced for 19 years and now I'm proud to say i am an artist. I create whimsical, colorful, magical art that brings nostalgia and feelings when you look at them. It's been my dream to be able to create artworks full time as my job since creating art IS A JOB. I started freelancing in August of 2023, In November i opened up an Etsy art shop and ran an art show from my front yard. I was then approached by Feat of Clay co op gallery in Aztec, New Mexico and in December I became a working member there. I am an artist. I am a painter. I am an illustrator. Its been a struggle and my dream is to be able to support myself and my kids doing this as a full time job." - Tay Lee Richards
