Creason Clayton

Creason’s style is boldly expressed in a variety of subjects all evicting energy released by a refreshing lyrical sense of color. His works are in private collections around the world.

Born in Mayfield, Kentucky, he showed a precocious interest in art as a small boy. Creason was trained formally at the University of the South (Sewanee, Tennessee), Vanderbilt University and the American Academy of Art at Chicago. He was voted the best visual artist in 1997 by Nashville Life Magazine.

Creason’s favorite media include acrylic, watercolor and continuous lines.

Charles T. Cox

Charles paints in the painterly-realist style with added emphasis on composition, drawing, color and an entertaining application of paint. His works consistently perform well in national and international art competitions, including several Best of Show awards.

Charles has studied at David Lipscomb University, the Ringling School of Art, Watkins Institute and the Nashville Extension of the University of Tennessee. He taught painting at Lipscomb and was a 30-year illustrator for the United Methodist Publishing House. Advertising agencies and publishing houses throughout the country have also utilized his work.

Randy Moberg

Randy’s art could be called abstract impressionism. However, his technique is a modern abstract version of traditional figurative subjects. His use of light and color pays homage to 19th century impressionism.

Randy earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of South Alabama. His award-winning work can be seen in private and public collections at home and abroad. He also teaches painting classes and workshops.

“I express ideas using colors and shapes to create images that cannot be otherwise described.”
