Haylee Ryan

F9CF6783-26C3-40F1-8A3B-3D3C97A40A36.JPG

Haylee Ryan (b. 1986; Dallas, TX) invokes nostalgia and wrestles with the concept of memory through the figure in her work. Through a balance of spontaneity, abstraction, and realistic care, her work attempts to visually portray how we remember people, places, and moments. What do we block out and what stands out in full detail? Ryan’s work strives to capture people who are not typically shown or who may have been forgotten. She would like to give everyday people a platform to be considered beautiful and spark a curiosity about their story. She brings her casual candid beach bodies to curated desert environments.  The slightly humorous juxtapositions beg the question of “do they belong, where are they from and where do they wish they were?”  The variety of bodies and position of the figures also brings awareness of how we belong in our own bodies, regardless of where we are.  Ryan is proud and excited to share the colors and compositions of these dreamy desert paintings. 

Haylee Ryan is from Dallas, TX, resides in Oak Cliff and has her BA in Studio Art - Painting from the University of Dallas, 2008.  She continues to pursue fine art through commissioned paintings and gallery shows, apprentice under inspiring artists, and create murals locally, nationally, and internationally.  In 2020, she had the honor of giving her first TEDtalk on “beauty and memory through visual art.”

Kyle Steed

928A036A-B821-4703-928A-46C11F9A53D2.JPG

Kyle Steed (b. 1982; Savannah, GA) is a self-taught painter and muralist based in Dallas, Texas. His upbringing moved him slowly across the gentle hills of Alabama and Tennessee before finally settling in the wide open plains of Texas. This itinerant childhood where he often sought stability and a sense of home gave way to his singular visual language that draws from a deep well of influences including meditation, loss, identity and imperfection. Following five years of working in the digital design space, Kyle sought to reconnect with the tangible nature of drawing and eventually painting. His unique visual language borrows structure and attention to detail from his military and graphic design background. His belief lies in the restless nature of the human soul and the pursuit of imperfection. From the intimate scale of his sketchbooks and drawings to the monumental scale of his murals and paintings the singular nature of the work lies in the exploration of the relationship between the human body and the landscapes we inhabit.

Kristin Moore

B18E20E6-6056-4F8D-B323-9218859A231E.JPG

Kristin Moore (b. 1990; Houston, TX) is Le Sol's next artist-in-residence (November 4 - December 31, 2024). Her work explores architectural landscapes through an atmospheric and cinematic lens. Through painting, she creates interpretive renderings of recognizable locations that reflect on the human experience. Film often informs the framing, color, and atmosphere in her work, and she cites the cinematography of Sofia Coppola, Hoyte Van Hoytema, and Wes Anderson as key visual influences. Travel, however, is her primary resource, and the images that influence her paintings come from plane rides, road trips, and hikes. As she works, she refer back to photographs from her travels as guidelines but also allows the painting to go on its own journey. The compositions begin to oscillate between real physical settings and idealized memories of a place as she omits and edits from the original source during the paintings process. The final result becomes a veiled version of the original inspiration.

 

Kristin currently lives and works in Dallas, TX. She holds an MFA from Otis College of Art & Design in Los Angeles and a BA in Art from St. Edward's University in Austin. Her paintings can be found in collections across the globe, and she has had solo exhibitions at Ferrara Showman Gallery in New Orleans, St. Edward's University in Austin, and Bolsky Gallery in Los Angeles as well as select group exhibitions at Good Mother Gallery in Los Angeles, Woaw Gallery in Singapore, and Dimmitt Contemporary in Houston.

Ruben Burgess Jr.

IMG_7113.jpeg

Ruben Burgess Jr. (b. 1992), is a New York City-based multidisciplinary artist, whose work is rooted in sculpture and line drawings. The integration of found objects and natural resources introduces a darker reflection of human life. The dialogue between mediums communicates his common themes of tension and reprieve. Each work holds a loose balance in shape, texture, and function, creating a visual harmony of delicacy, strength, softness, and darkness. His sculptures are held together through the safety of simple physics, and visualized through the push and pull of fine lines and their relation to gravity. He presents lightness with weight, and soft objects formed in hard materials. In Burgess’ fine line drawings and paintings, his adept background in the sartorial exposes a fragility to life, like the threads we wear in relation to our human form. From the industrial to the tensions of domestic life, Burgess utilizes various materials to capture an uneasiness that a line could snap at any moment, that all of the things we hold on to are inherently ephemeral.

Elle Caerbert

A970E8A8-B21E-4A74-9AA2-9D84A616FA4A.JPG

Elle Caerbert (b. 1993; Stockton, CA) is a self-taught artist based in Fort Worth, Texas.  She has always had a background in creating through various forms but her work as a painter exploded when she painted a photograph of musician Abraham Alexander and it was then chosen as his debut album cover. 

 

Elle has a passion for capturing the essence of musicians through her art. Specializing in musician portraits, Elle uses her work to tell the stories of her subjects, emphasizing their emotions, unique style, and fashion choices. Her portraits are more than just visual representations; they are a reflection of the music and the moments that define each artist. Through her distinct approach, Elle transforms music into a visual narrative, creating art that resonates with both the subjects and the audience.

 

As a portrait artist, Elle strives to capture the soul of the musicians who inspire her. Music is more than sound; it’s emotion, style, and story, and her work seeks to bring that to life visually. Each portrait she creates tells a unique narrative, pulling from the essence of the musician—their struggles, triumphs, and the raw emotion they pour into their craft. Her work is deeply personal and driven by a passion for storytelling. Through her portraits, she aims to blend the visual and auditory into a single experience. Her goal is to offer viewers a deeper connection to the music they love by providing an intimate look at the faces behind it.

After obtaining a degree in International Development, Environmental Science, and Painting at The Ohio State University in 2018, Lanier has dedicated her full time to art.

Meredith Noles (b. 1992; Fort Worth, TX) is a multidisciplinary creator  traversing the fields of fashion and textile art. While living in Florence, Italy, she apprenticed under local textile designers where she created hand painted fabrics for Italian fashion houses. This practice highlighted the bridge between art and fashion, which is at the core of her work. It is most notable in her interest in organic and artisan techniques.  While living in New York City honing her hand as a fashion designer, she continued to work as an artist, creating weavings that celebrate natural fibers and artisanal methods. Her work is firmly rooted in the interplay between the structural and organic as well as modernity and nostalgia.
