"I do not believe that art serves as an exclusive language for the elite; rather the art that I know and endeavor to produce serves as a universal language that encourages further dialogue. I believe that we are born visually literate, with a fully developed sense of imagination.
Unfortunately as we grow and become educated, oftentimes many of us neglect and loose these innate creative instincts. It is my intention as an artist to simply encourage creative thought- an idea that is not exclusive to the artist, but something we are all born with."

Carri Jobe explores painting and drawing through a restricted set of formal concerns and source material. Her work explores communication, color and psychological awareness.
Jobe was born in Nashville, Tennessee and was influenced by her grandfather who modeled making art while also working as an accountant. She received her BFA at University of Tennessee and then spent time in San Antonio, Texas and Brooklyn, New York where she continued her art practice, worked in non-profit administration, and coordinated art handling and installation projects. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally.
Jobe’s practice is based in Tennessee where she resides with her husband, Brian R. Jobe. They have co-founded Tri-Star Arts, and are raising three active boys.

Affectionately known as "The Cathedral Guy", Brian Scott Pittman is an architect by trade, an artist by heart, a lover of architecture, a champion of preservation, and a purveyor of good planning.

Brian draws his cathedrals for pleasure and therapy.  They are all freehand and from his imagination.  What happens on a surface is what happens - no turning back once the pen or pencil touches the surface.

He has drawn well over 1,000 cathedrals.
