We worked with local artists Carlos Martinez, Sloane Miller and Inez Rodriguez to create artwork for our SPL Lockers.
Carlos Martinez is a visual artist based in Seattle, WA. A creative since birth, his perspective and inspiration is anchored in the imagery found in nature and his afro-indigenous roots that trace back to Oaxaca and Guerrero, Mexico. Drawing to rich color and tropical flora, Carlos works to create a surreal world where nature and humans live without boundary. Carlos works with mainly acrylic paint and ink.
Sloane Miller is a Seattle-born multi disciplinary artist whose work explores a multitude of themes drawn from her personal experience. Her artwork is best characterized by the saturated dreamscapes that visually captivate attention all while telling a story that ventures deeper than what you see on the surface. Sloane primarily creates digital art via procreate which stems from her background in Graphic Design. However, in the future she hopes to show more using traditional skills with mediums she’s most fond of, such as oil paint and linocut prints.
Flying across spectrums of color and hues, multimedia artist Ines Rodriguez guides the viewer into a world of discovery. Being Puerto Rican American and afro Latina, Ines explores her culture through playful surrealism and representation. With themes of belonging as a POC and the vibrant movement of adventure and discovery, Ines asks the viewer “As we try to find a place of being, where do we belong?” Working mostly in digital illustration, her work invites us on a journey in finding who we are and our communities.
