Erickson
Founder, Owner, Stylist - 25 Years Experience
Scot Lewis School of Cosmetology, Licensed Cosmetologist Manager

My vision that sparked Jungle Red Salon Spa Gallery was to create a space where people wanted to spend their time because they felt good when they were here.  To me this means a place where customers can feel comfortable and at-home, and feel supported through an open dialogue about their needs.  Along with this, it means running a business where employees are able to grow, succeed, prosper and fulfill their own dreams! I am passionate about supporting others in their process of loving themselves and feeling good from within. As stylists we get to create art that people wear every day that brings out each person’s innate individual beauty. Caring for the body and skin also enhance personal wellness and satisfaction, which is the reason that since opening Jungle Red in 2001 I have expanded the business to include the full spectrum of personal-care service options. I am called to give back to the community as there are so many wonderful organizations that enrich the lives of those around us who are in need. This is why I have built a business with a strong foundation in participating in community events and fundraisers.  In my free time I love to exercise, practice yoga, ski, travel, spend time with my family and friends watching movies, going to concerts or the theater, and appreciating art in various forms.

Kari
Melchert
General Manager
University of Minnesota

I love working at Jungle Red because it is a business with values and a mission that I believe in.  I am a supporter of local businesses that are independently run by entrepreneurs who are passionate about what they do. That passion and love always shows through in how employees and customers alike are treated, and in the product or service that is being provided, regardless of what it is.  Not only is Jungle Red one of such businesses, but it strives to support the local community.  To me, that is paramount, because serving and supporting our local community is what keeps our society flourishing. The best thing about my position is having the opportunity to support an amazing team in developing their careers and fulfilling life goals.  There is nothing more rewarding than collaborating with individuals to enhance a vision they have for themselves, and with a team to pursue a mission we have come together for.  I am grateful to work with such talented, creative, and good-hearted people. It makes our workplace a fun and supportive place to spend the days.  Outside of the salon I love practicing and teaching yoga, traveling, reading, trying on new adventures, enjoying good food, and doing outdoor things in the summer-time.

D. Helene Woods
Instagram
THE ARTIST :: D. HELENE WOODS D. Helene Woods is a Minnesota artist exploring the connections between joy and darkness in our everyday lives...because life is creepy. She paints faceless colorful figures with imagined internal biology. The figures are placed in scenarios of everyday life that create narratives of a world both joyful and fraught. Her work takes an analytical view of the lives of women, and the many situations in their lives where pleasure and peace combine with the frustrations and threats of contemporary culture. At first glance, her bright colors and imagery often deceive the viewer to thinking everything is happy and serene, but as one engages, dangers are revealed.
February 2018
Brian Broughten
THE ARTIST :: BRIAN BROUGHTEN Brian's artwork takes a critical view of social, political and cultural issues. His work intends to deconstruct the American dream. By engaging subjects as diverse as road trips, sewing, and drug addiction his work reproduces familiar visual signs, and then arranges them into conceptually new, layered pieces. With a highly experimental approach, a variety of materials and processes are applied to combine these themes into mixed media pieces that feature mundane domestic objects juxtaposed with whimsical objects, and often embellished with stenciled text. While there may or may not be material similarities between the different projects, they are linked by recurring concerns and through the subject matter. The subject matter of each body of work determines the materials used to create.

THE ARTIST :: HOLLY OEHME Energy itself cannot be contained, only transformed from one form to another. Each of Holly Oehme's paintings captures this moment of transformation; whether it's the shimmer of life in the depths of the sea or the death of a star in the expansion of the solar system, Oehme's paintings represent the capacity of change. Using a mixed media approach including acrylics and water, Oehme generates other-worldly settings that bring a uniqueness to any environment. Whether it represents intergalactic landscapes or magnified coral, each piece is able to evolve into something new.

December in the Gallery: THE ARTIST :: MATTHEW GAULKE The two questions Matthew finds most valuable in art are: is it beautiful and is it unique? He feels that life provides enough ugly, and his art doesn't have to be. His hope is that when you view his art you feel a little wonder and excitement. Since his last show in the Jungle Red Gallery his art has evolved. He has worked larger, played with distortions/exaggerations and started to combine pen and markers.

Drew Bode
Facebook // Website // Instagram
THE ARTIST :: DREW BODE Drew has been creating art ever since he can remember. Sometimes his work was created in notebooks given as gifts, and sometimes it was in less appropriate places like on the backs of pamphlets handed out at church and even in stairwells of his childhood home (thanks to his art-loving step mother). With an intention of teaching future generations about the importance of art, Drew completed a degree in Art Education. He hoped to teach how art can be an outlet, how it brings beauty to this world, and how wealth is not necessary to create.

Michael Bellotti
Bellotti Art
When he was 24 years old, Michael began a 10-year sentence for a drug conviction. While some would have simply done their time and left prison the same person they entered as, Michael made a promise to himself: that wouldn’t be his story. He set out to prove to others and to himself that there is more to him than his history. He had always been interested in art, and it wasn’t until 2004 that Michael first picked up a drawing pencil. From that moment on, he was consumed with a passion for art, and his talent swiftly propelled him towards his future. Instead of letting those years slip away, Michael took full advantage of the time he was given and developed a talent that had remained dormant for far too long. He quickly moved from pencil drawings to oil paintings in less than a year and the progress that he was making made his desire to create simply insatiable. In 2006, with his talent in oil paintings firmly established, a family tragedy helped Michael to realize that his talent could perhaps serve an even deeper purpose than he’d ever imagined. His ongoing mission is to help heal people, even if in the smallest way, through the gift of art. With the help of his aunt, Mary Carter and his mother, Diana Williams, and close friend Fredrick Morgenstern the Adam Carter Foundation was born. Thie Mission of The Adam carter Foundation is to create a few moments when the loss of a child disappears, and in those moments, the memories of the child overshadow the sadness and the sorrow felt. We believe in those moments. Our painting and our words shift the haunting emptiness to a never-ending presence

Inspired by the mystery, magic and beauty of Life, Colee creates art because that is what she dreams of, that is what calls her heart and calls her awake.

Painting with her Grandfather sparked the desire to create, and inspired her on the path to seeing Beauty in all ways. Her calling is to use wellness practices and nature-based experiences to connect herself and others with a deep mind- body- and soul-awareness.

Ben Prenevost Art
June in the Gallery :: Ben Prenevost "The face is a drug, releasing an effect unsurpassed by it’s visage." Ben Prenevost is a visual artist with a passion for portrait and figure drawings of the female muse. He began experimenting with the face drug more often in 2014 and by 2015 he was completely hooked. Ben’s portrait illustrations are best known for their intricate pencil hatching details-- focused predominantly on soulful eyes and storied lips. Much of the subject’s face is kept light of graphite rendering to allow Ben’s coloring texture to show though, when he applies watercolors and watercolor pencil to his illustrations. Coming from an artistic family in the northern suburbs of Minneapolis Ben has enjoyed drawing since childhood. He has a long track record working as a digital color artist of comic books, film and television production and advertising art. When Ben isn't drawing, he enjoys cycling. A lot.

He incorporates a variety of colors and patterns by using a combination of Prismacolor Markers, Micron Pens, and watercolors. Overall, L’Andrae’s work has always been about the evolution of doodling and applying the awareness of the action itself into a work of art. It’s a style that he’s been doing and re- discovering for almost 20 years.

Loulure
March in the Gallery :: Loulure As an ecofeminist Lou truly believes women and nature are connected intricately. Yes, domination of one can disturb the other. However, nurturing one can flourish the other. While focusing on positivity and beauty, she paints growth in all of its beauty and marvels in the potency of feminine themes for she knows first-hand that delicate is not one-dimensional. As she paints she is often unsure of whether she creates her surroundings or if her surroundings create her. They are one.

I.O.U. ARTS – Featuring:: Julia C. Spencer , Andrew Braunberger, and Allan Benson
Julia C. Spencer // Andrew Braunberger // Allan Benson
THE ARTISTS :: JULIA C. SPENCER: At age 13, Julia C. Spencer had the opportunity to attend a Summer Expression Session class at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. It was the experience of this class that propelled and fostered Julia’s dream of becoming a comic book artist. In 2003, Julia attended the Perpich Center for Arts Education where she intensively studied dance. Julia went on to enroll at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design as an Illustrator major, in 2005, but later her interests moved more to the area of Photography. In the spring of 2007, she became sick and stopped attending MCAD. Julia is currently working in the mediums of painting, photography, pastels, colored pencils, marker illustrations and jewelry. ANDREW BRAUNBERGER: Andrew Braunberger has been creating images, since discovering his thumbs. The artistic beginnings for Andrew involved working with soft pastels, in high school. He continued to love working with pastels as a medium, through his collegiate studies at the University of North Dakota. In 1992, Andrew graduated with a BA in Arts and Sciences through the Honors Program at UND—he has continued to work with pastels and consistently practice his craft, ever since. Many of Andrews works are in acrylic and oil, often with soft pastels used on top of these other media. Within his work you will notice vibrant colors and interaction within varying levels of opacity. Andrew also dabbles in digital art, but prefers the tactile experience of other media, more so than working digitally. ALLAN BENSON: In Allan’s words, “I create colorful patterns and shapes to make your eyes light up and to make the painting pop off the walls and ceilings and run away”. Allan’s paintings and drawings of landscape, architecture, people, and still-life are expressions of what his vision of reality is. He creates images from what he sees and of his imagination. Allan is inspired by plant life, the shapes of the land and architecture. He experiments and plays with perspective and dimension on the canvas and then fills it up with paint. Allan uses color and black outline to make the shapes pop out and appear more realistic. He likes to let his creativity run wild. Allan recognized his abilities and desires to express himself through art in a class at Opportunity Partners, a Minnesota nonprofit organization that works alongside people with disabilities. Alan continues to strengthen his artistic visions and techniques in classes with his art mentor. Allan has exhibited his work at the Hennepin County Library, Hopkins Center for the Arts, Opportunity Partners headquarters, Vision Loss Resources and Munka Beans Coffee Shop. His painting, Flower at Home, won 2nd place in painting at the Sister Kenney Annual International Art Show in May, 2009.

H. Leigh
H. Leigh Art
H. Leigh is an acrylic painter who captures intimate connections with horses and uses them as a form of transformation and healing in the creative process. H. Leigh grew up as an only child of a single working parent and spent most of her time with horses. They have been integral to H’s recovery through grief and loss throughout her life. She traveled around the country with renaissance festivals through her early adult life and then became an advocate for youth and homelessness. Her professional background of advocacy within area shelters over an 18 year span, along with her own recovery, sparked her motion into painting the healing journey by using her deep connection with horses. Horses have listened to her deepest core and have never judged; they are honest; they are patient. Horses are prey animals and naturally respond to changes in their environment. They make great therapists due to this fight or flight response because they detect unheard shifts in their atmosphere. H. Leigh is a published poet, published painter, and a published photographer. She holds a B.A. in Creative Healing in Human Development; a degree she created to fit the love of nature and arts based education and psychology. H. enjoys researching creative processes, neuroscience, nature and arts based developmental psychology, and wishes to inspire people while they are on their own healing journey.

Genevieve Hess
Genevieve Hess Facebook
THE ARTIST : Genevieve began painting & drawing at a young age, and found watercolor as a portrait assignment in college. Watercolor was a medium that inspired but intimidated, portraits were a field she admired yet avoided, she hesitatingly stumbled into watercolor portraits & found it opened up new avenues for her art. Absorbed in the world of painting techniques Genevieve discovered she doesn't use the medium traditionally. She paints tightly and with precision, especially in the portrayal of a person. Once the subject is accurately interpreted through her eyes, the creativity drifts in when she 'dresses up' the paintings in flowing whimsical and colorful embellishments, sprouting unexpectedly yet demanding equal attention as the subject. Genevieve believes each individual has a unique perspective & constructs hers through her art. Her paintings are inspired by beauty in humanity & the artistry of color. She hopes to portray balance between strength & delicacy, femininity & drama. Her prowess as an artist is often shown in striking images of women whom evoke strong yet fragile feelings in the observer. These paintings are more emotion based than conceptual, bringing beauty and aura to the space & mind it occupies

Matthew Gaulke
Facebook // Instagram
Matthew Gaulke has been experiementing with art since gradeschool, from comic book characters to oil painting, and most recently marker drawing. Through the turbulence of life, including finding and later losing faith in religion, Matthew has found that making art is the only thing that gives his life meaning... Next to family and pizza. His current inspiration comes from super models because he finds them to be both unique looking and beautiful, which is what he hopes to achieve with his own art -- something unique but still beautiful. His collection of marker-drawn portriats will include a range of stripped down line drawings and drawing brilliantly placed shapes, color and shading, leading the viewer to engage with the depth and intricacy of the figure. Matthew tries not to over think his art, but rather just have fun with his creations and share that with others.

April in the Gallery :: BETHANY BIRNIE THE ARTIST : Bethany Birnie takes ordinary life and molds it into a whimsical dreamscape through photography, painting, sculpture, and taxidermy. The notion that she has the power to change the world around her into whatever she wishes is her main inspiration. "I live for the fantastical moments when my daydream has been seamlessly recreated and lives before me." That power to create something that has never been seen before drives and entertains her. During the month of April Bethany will be showing her original works of painting, photography, and taxidermy.

THE ARTIST : James Foreman titles this body of work "MYSTICAL INQUIRIES" because he views artwork, the process of creating artwork, and the interaction of a viewer with artwork, as a mystical process of transformation. He believes that such transformation opens the heart even deeper into the wonders of life. The symbols in his work have no particular intentional meaning but are playful inquiries into the joys within the viewer. Within the work, that the symbols, and the background abstraction, are painted in a manner that evokes a deeper presence within the self. The paintings in this collection are titled as questions which intend to further evoke an attitude of exploration. James' philosophy on living his life is the same as how he paints: exploring the presence and direction of these mysteries through both painting and other art forms.

Jodi Bee
THE ARTIST: Jodi Bee has a BFA in studio art: drawing and painting, as well as a BS in Art Education (K-12) and loves to be both an apprentice and a mentor. She creates colorful and inspirational art ranging from mixed media to mandalas to paintings and illustrations. Whether she's pulling together images, painting or drawing, she finds inspiration all around her. She collects and processes used books, cutting them apart and filing the images she likes. In her February exhibition you will get to experience how she shuffles images together that seem to relate or connect somehow - perhaps in feeling, color or narrative. This body of highly detailed collage work emphasizes geometry. An almost musical movement is created by repeating shapes in a rhythmical sequence. Circles are a common link among this body of work, representing wholeness, completeness and purity. Circles are the most important and universal geometric symbol because it is implicit in other important symbols such as the sacred halo, the face of a clock, the ring, the life cycle, as well as the stars and planets of our cosmos. The subject matter explores the sublime feelings of awe and wonder, and depict the transcendant moment of altered consciousness that unifies and unveils our human experience with others.

Elle Hettinger
ELLE HETTINGER is an experimental, fresh acrylic/multi-media artist living and working in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Having travelled extensively through Italy and Mexico has provided much inspiration for her. "Many know that years ago I was ‘gifted’ with a series of much illness to begin a journey to introspection of my life and to those surrounding me. This included an out loud revelation purporting ‘I can’t draw nor paint.’ With that, I signed up for my first art class through MCAD, a traveling sketch class. Since then, I have taken classes in botanical watercolor, acrylic, American watercolor, encaustic, imprint stamping, shading, drawing and more. Additionally, I have had the fortunate experience to create art in the countries of Italy and Mexico. Art initially provided me with therapeutic, meditative, healing qualities and now continues to provide me with just plain relaxational joy. I have certainly come to look at the world now in so many different ways, through so many lenses and with a totally different set of eyes."

Philip Noyed
P h i l i p N o y e d
Philip Noyed is an innovative multi-media artist living and working in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He creates luminous photographs, geometric light box illuminations, videos, paintings and mixed media installations. His art work represents the quintessential contemporary art movement making use of creative technology that is changing the way art is viewed today. Bold colors, light, and high-voltage geometric compositions characterize his versatile artworks that he transforms into wall-mounted or free-standing sculptural objects. About His Artistic Process Noyed's art is printed as translucent Lambda C-type transparencies, surface-mounted to clear acrylic, framed in white acrylic, and back lit by LEDs or fluorescent lights. About his process he explains, "I begin by photographing subjects, usually my own oil paintings, at slow shutter speeds, transforming hard-edged, dimensional shapes into vibrant light-emitting compositions." The artist then reworks the photographic images using digital technology, to enhance the color, saturation, temperature and form. "I also skew, distort, cut, replicate and merge the sampled images, creating new kaleidoscopic shapes." A Myriad of Animated Transitions Noyed provides viewers with a mesmerizing experience as a myriad of transitions occur naturally as light passes through the art work. When viewed with 3-D glasses the animated surfaces of his paintings become more hypnotic. His kinetic images provide a dynamic presence that grace many residential and corporate spaces. They combine a modern architectural sensibility with the power to induce relaxation. Geometric Illuminations Noyed's background as a ceramic artist and also an expressionist painter have imbued his artwork with dimension and movement. In addition to skillful application of design elements, color has always been a constant source of inspiration for the artist. His "Geometric Illuminations" series demonstrate the culmination of his exploration of light, color and space. Accurately named, they successfully embrace the essence of of geometric abstract painting and produce a light-filled ambiance. Exhibitions and Accolades Noyed's many one-person and group exhibitions include: Bashimi Art House Gallery, in Salzburg, Austria; Caelum Gallery, in New York City, and Red Bluff Art Gallery, in California; Aria and The Marsh Gallery, both in in Minnesota; among others. His upcoming exhibition "Geometric Illuminations" will be presented at the Phipps Center for the Arts, in Hudson, Wisconsin, May 22 - June 21, 2015. He was also selected to create a light installation for Northern Spark at Northrup and will be displaying "Rainbow Pyramid Experience." The artist has been featured in several publications including Visual Art Beat Magazine, on television and radio. He has also won many national and international awards for his outstanding work in graphic design, digital design, video and brand development. Poetic Works of Art Noyed's images are poetic and tranquil in nature as exemplified in the piece titled "Improv Triptych in Blue, Magenta, Green and White". The atmospheric qualities of his art are always prevalent. Philip Noyed received a Bachelor of Arts in East Asian Studies from Hamline University. His perspective on art is influenced by living in Japan for three years where he studied ceramics, calligraphy and Noh Theater. He is clearly a visionary and pioneer in art, design as well as the performing arts. He was the first American to perform at the National Noh Theater in Tokyo, Japan. ​

made by kristi
"From early childhood, I have spent my life travelling between Sydney, Australia and Saint Paul, Minnesota. I was seldom without a book, a Barbie doll and a set of colouring pencils. I have been fascinated by art, travel, culture, and making things with my hands from a very early age and chose to study art, theatre and design throughout school and university. After a decade in the corporate arena and a graduate degree in Design and an Executive MBA, I decided to leave the corporate life for one where I could pursue my true passion – to develop a unique and recognisable style that would allow me to become a self sustaining artist. As a collage artist I am fascinated with the use of colour, pattern and texture and try to combine these elements in my work in an innovative and exciting way using a combination of adhesives, papers and embellishment materials. At the heart of my materials is my growing collection of papers, which I’ve gathered from around the world, and includes hand dyed papers from India, woven papers from Asia and printed papers from Australia and the USA.Major influences in my work include pop art and pop culture, Hollywood, music and fashion. Games from my childhood have also had a major influence in my latest works, which are rich with hidden imagery. As a child I spent hours hunting through “Where’s Wally” books, examining “Spot the Difference” games and piecing together intricate jigsaw puzzles. My technique is still evolving and employs an exploratory and playful process, which can incorporate costuming, set design and lighting, photography, graphic manipulation, image transferring, print making, collage and painting."

Sydney is an emerging artist living and working in the Twin Cities. She studied art at the University of Minnesota Morris and moves in to her new art studio this month at the Northrup King Building. Her artwork has consistently shared a broad spectrum of media and technique. “Painting women is one of my most intriguing processes because they have, fortunately or unfortunately, an inescapable aesthetic. They are perceived to exist on a shallow level to much of the world. I paint these portraits with ink and watercolor to explore techniques that feature emotional plasticity, such as dripping, splattering, running, or by using reflective surfaces to explore vanity and introspection. Other scenes in gouache reveal transient light and windows of time.” Instagram: sydhintz (https://instagram.com/sydhintz/) Twitter: @sydneyhintz Email: sydney.hintz@gmail.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SydneyHintzPhotography Studio: 425 Northrup King Building, Minneapolis Phone: 507-530-0210

Dolan Cyr Art
DOLAN CYR a.k.a. Rachel Wacker ARTIST BIO Rachel Wacker (a.k.a. Dolan Cyr) graduated with honors from the University of Notre Dame in 1999 with a B. A. in studio art and a concentration in philosophy and literature. While at the university, she participated in the St. Mary’s Rome Program and received a Kellogg Institute Grant to study “The Maasai Tribe and the Color Red” in Kenya. Following graduation, Rachel spent a year volunteering on the Turtle Mountains Indian Reservation in North Dakota. Rachel now resides in the Lowertown Arts District where she is a full time artist, community art event designer, and emerging curator. She is an active member of the Lowertown First Fridays Committee and the resident curator for 262 Studios’ public galleries. Since 2009, Rachel has collaborated with over two hundred artists, musicians, poets, small businesses and neighborhood organizations to create roughly 70 community art events. Rachel began signing her art as Dolan Cyr in 2009 to make a public distinction between her role as a visual artist and her role as an art advocate and organizer. She chose the name in honor of her great grandmothers, Anna Dolan and Victoria Cyr. ARTIST STATEMENT I can’t seem to escape my deep –and perhaps quixotic -desire to understand and reconcile the tension between the physical and the metaphysical. It has fueled both my intellectual life and my art life for as long as I can remember. My artwork is the record of my attempt to make sense of this polarity. Each piece is an experiment aimed at alchemically transforming a private experience into a physical object that communicates something of the metaphysical to the viewer. The private experiences at the core of each piece is as likely to be anchored in an emotion as in a philosophical query or an effort to make sense of the days’ news. I work strictly from my imagination without referencing photographs, or models. CONTACT | dolancyrart@gmail.com 651.343.3541 Studio 206 - 262 E. 4TH Street, St. Paul MN 55101 dolancyrart.com

"When I started painting in late 2013, it was a well-needed release from the various pressures of life. I had always wanted to paint, but had never pursued it. In my first year of painting I learned techniques and skills from some very exceptional artists. The one thing they all had in common was encouraging their students to listen to their heart. I discovered quickly that my heart had several messages for me, the majority of them being that I need to remember there is beauty in the world, and to constantly seek it and share it. And this is what I do with my art. I consider myself an intuitive mixed media artist. I usually do not begin with any one plan for a painting, and very often it evolves into several completely different paintings before I consider it complete. When I feel like I've listened and received whatever message my heart is telling me, I stop. Sometimes the paintings are more whimsical, always they are colorful, often are inspired by nature and beauty around me, and frequently will bear a particular word or phrase that was speaking to me at the time. Kindness, love and beauty can change the world. I truly believe that, and this is exactly the message I set out to share with the world." -Lara Cornell

Susan Opitz
Susan Opitz art
"My work can be described as a combination of lyrical and abstract expressionism. I am a self taught artist using primarily a painting knife to create layers and texture that result in a full range of color with diverse experimentation. Painting is an extension of my inner experience. My work grows as I do. My work requires a commitment of several hours at a time relying on the exploration of the wet medium until a resolution appears. It is an immerse and meditative process." Working out her studio in Northeast Minneapolis, Susan now combines her art talents into the production of sculptural metal jewelry along with her canvas art. She is currently completing her MFA in Ecological Architecture at Vesper College. Her work can be seen at many venues around the Twin Cities as well as New York, Berlin and Paris.

Maria Lundberg
Art of Maria
"I'm greatly inspired by by my urban life, by the countryside time spent with family, water elements and landscapes that seem to take form during the painting process." ~Maria Lundberg From an early age, Maria was encouraged by her family of architects, painters and craftsman to channel her energy through creative outlets. She knew at some point that her artwork would manifest into something tangible. It was through the trial and error of sculpture and multiple art classes that she found her true passion: acrylic paints on canvas. A Midwest native with a West Coast heart, she continually strives to create pieces with texture and color that evoke a sense of excitement, awareness and peace.

Brant Kingman
Brant Kingman art
Brant Kingman has long been a staple of Minneapolis art culture but his journey to become an artist started many years before coming to the midwest. After graduating from Amherst University on the east coast in 1976, he traveled Europe at the encouragement of a classmate to study and produce art in the museums of France, Italy, England and Spain. Upon returning to the US, he spent 7 years in New York City drawing artistic inspiration from the urban environment and deep, life experiences. Brant eventually moved back to his hometown of Minneapolis, having brought with him a new love of fatherhood that inspired the creation of many new works of art from rocket ships to tree houses. His work continued to evolve after acquiring his well-known studio space in Northeast Minneapolis where he devoted himself to working with sculpture as well as painting. He describes his process of making art as being similar to the process of meditation, time disappears when he enters his studio.

Peru Alvarado
iDol Surfboards
Born in Lima, Peru December 1984. I have been painting, drawing, building and customizing things since I was little. I have been inspired by the work of many artists such as Drew Brophy, Josh Lemke, Adam Turman, Heather Brown, Diego Rivera, and Jackson Pollock, among others. I studied graphic design at The Art Institutes International Minnesota, and now I’m working as an artist/shaper at Idol Surfboards. I have been lucky to have always been surrounded by water. From growing up riding waves on the coast of Peru, to surfing Lake Superior or paddle boarding around the cities, being in the water feels like home. As a surfer, I have learned to understand and draw energy provided by waves to get inspiration. That’s where my main source of inspiration comes from - not only from the thrill of riding waves, but from energy provided by the elements and people that surround me.

She has an extensive background in photography and art, and for more than 14 years she has professionally photographed horses, pets and their families. She transforms her photographs into works of art using a combination of digital and wet media, and creates fine art paintings and reproductions for sale, as well as commissioned portraits for clients.

Kristi’s work is an extension of who she is – a happy, passionate, fun and energetic artist intrigued and excited by life and the imagination.

Allison Oreck & Celia Graham
Etsy
Meet Allison Oreck I primarily paint with oils which have a rich, deep color and allow me to use different techniques. I paint with no premeditated objectives and try not to take myself too seriously; hopefully my sophisticated playfulness comes across in my paintings. I am constantly inspired by impressionist painters, gothic architecture, rich tones, textile design, fashion trends and my fellow artists. I believe in surrounding yourself with things and people you love, someone’s home should reflect the person they strive to be and the life they lead. I try to create pieces that enhance a room and bring happiness and authenticity to people’s homes. Artist Statement “The art I am planning to show at Jungle Red is drawn from multiple inspirations. I love to pull inspiration from textile prints, the latest trends in home decor and experiment with unique techniques. Color, print, pattern and texture are all things I strive to incorporate in every piece. My work appeals to many different aesthetics. I believe the art people surround themselves with should be a reflection of the life they want to lead and bring happiness to a room!” Meet Celia Graham Celia is an emerging artist born and raised in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. She works mostly in acrylics but treats her media a lot like water color—developing layers of transparency and depth. While her past work has centered on portraiture and landscapes her newest pieces are inspired by youth and the magic of innocence. She is currently exploring the human experience through the lens of belief systems—why do we let go of our child-like innocence in exchange for adult ideals? And how do we hold on to that magic while creating a sense of self? Artist Statement “I like beautiful things. Shapes and colors that have no explicit intellectual or emotional message can be very inspiring- they have a way of speaking to everyone individually. Also, a lot of my work is inspired by the magic found in innocence and youth.”

THE ARTIST :: D. HELENE WOODS
D. Helene Woods is a Minnesota artist exploring the connections between joy and darkness in our everyday lives...because life is creepy. She paints faceless colorful figures with imagined internal biology. The figures are placed in scenarios of everyday life that create narratives of a world both joyful and fraught. Her work takes an analytical view of the lives of women, and the many situations in their lives where pleasure and peace combine with the frustrations and threats of contemporary culture. At first glance, her bright colors and imagery often deceive the viewer to thinking everything is happy and serene, but as one engages, dangers are revealed.

February in the Gallery:

THE ARTIST :: BRIAN BROUGHTEN
Brian's artwork takes a critical view of social, political and cultural issues. His work intends to deconstruct the American dream. By engaging subjects as diverse as road trips, sewing, and drug addiction his work reproduces familiar visual signs, and then arranges them into conceptually new, layered pieces.

With a highly experimental approach, a variety of materials and processes are applied to combine these themes into mixed media pieces that feature mundane domestic objects juxtaposed with whimsical objects, and often embellished with stenciled text.

While there may or may not be material similarities between the different projects, they are linked by recurring concerns and through the subject matter. The subject matter of each body of work determines the materials used to create.

THE MUSICIAN :: DJ RICK AUSLAND
DJ Rick Ausland has been packing dance floors in the Twin Cities for more than 8 years. Specializing in house, 90’s hip hop, and dance music, DJ Rick will keep your party groovin’. A tap dancer and drummer, he also performs with the Minneapolis-based Buckets and Tap Shoes.

December in the Gallery:

THE ARTIST :: MATTHEW GAULKE
The two questions Matthew finds most valuable in art are: is it beautiful and is it unique? He feels that life provides enough ugly, and his art doesn't have to be. His hope is that when you view his art you feel a little wonder and excitement.

Since his last show in the Jungle Red Gallery his art has evolved. He has worked larger, played with distortions/exaggerations and started to combine pen and markers.

Drew BodeA Constant Cough

November in the Gallery:

THE ARTIST :: DREW BODE
Drew has been creating art ever since he can remember. Sometimes his work was created in notebooks given as gifts, and sometimes it was in less appropriate places like on the backs of pamphlets handed out at church and even in stairwells of his childhood home (thanks to his art-loving step mother). With an intention of teaching future generations about the importance of art, Drew completed a degree in Art Education. He hoped to teach how art can be an outlet, how it brings beauty to this world, and how wealth is not necessary to create.

Always deeply interested in Philosophy, exploring consciousness and theories of existence, some of the questions you will find incorporated into his current work in a visual way are: how do metaphysical spheres of thought converge in our minds, and what does that look like visually? how do things like music shape our consciousness and deepen our reality?

Drew finds it intriguing to treat the figure as something that is intertwined with surrounding elements in its reality. Geometry, lines, colors, mass, etc., can permeate the walls of the figure at random, and the figure's existence seems to have a more cohesive, binding and coexistent relationship within the painting. His main goal is to create a piece where the figure is in a state of harmonious flux with its surroundings, as it is when various instruments align within music. In the case of a painting, the paint is the translation of those notes bridging the physical and metaphysical. A play on outer body and inner body frequencies eminently converging.

THE MUSICIAN : : A CONSTANT COUGH
A Constant Cough began as a solo, noise project in early 2011 by singer-songwriter Victoria Carpenter. Soon after, guitarist Danny Shaheen (Bad Vibes, Fletcher Magellan) joined to help usher the project into its live form. What emerged was a series of duets, interplay between guitar, vocals, the harp, and a myriad of electronic effects. A Constant Cough prods at exploration through storytelling. Listen long enough and the concept of post-traumatic growth reveals itself as a consistent inspiration for the music since the project's inception informing both lyrical content and musical choices.

Michael Bellotti

October in the Gallery : :

THE ARTIST : MICHAEL BELLOTTI
When he was 24 years old, Michael began a 10-year sentence for a drug conviction. While some would have simply done their time and left prison the same person they entered as, Michael made a promise to himself: that wouldn’t be his story. He set out to prove to others and to himself that there is more to him than his history. He had always been interested in art, and it wasn’t until 2004 that Michael first picked up a drawing pencil. From that moment on, he was consumed with a passion for art, and his talent swiftly propelled him towards his future. Instead of letting those years slip away, Michael took full advantage of the time he was given and developed a talent that had remained dormant for far too long. He quickly moved from pencil drawings to oil paintings in less than a year and the progress that he was making made his desire to create simply insatiable.

In 2006, with his talent in oil paintings firmly established, a family tragedy helped Michael to realize that his talent could perhaps serve an even deeper purpose than he’d ever imagined. His ongoing mission is to help heal people, even if in the smallest way, through the gift of art. With the help of his aunt, Mary Carter and his mother, Diana Williams, and close friend Fredrick Morgenstern the Adam Carter Foundation was born. Thie Mission of The Adam carter Foundation is to create a few moments when the loss of a child disappears, and in those moments, the memories of the child overshadow the sadness and the sorrow felt. We believe in those moments. Our painting and our words shift the haunting emptiness to a never-ending presence

Ben PrenevostJade Daniel

June in the Gallery :: Ben Prenevost

"The face is a drug, releasing an effect unsurpassed by it’s visage."

Ben Prenevost is a visual artist with a passion for portrait and figure drawings of the female muse. He began experimenting with the face drug more often in 2014 and by 2015 he was completely hooked. Ben’s portrait illustrations are best known for their intricate pencil hatching details-- focused predominantly on soulful eyes and storied lips. Much of the subject’s face is kept light of graphite rendering to allow Ben’s coloring texture to show though, when he applies watercolors and watercolor pencil to his illustrations.

Coming from an artistic family in the northern suburbs of Minneapolis Ben has enjoyed drawing since childhood. He has a long track record working as a digital color artist of comic books, film and television production and advertising art. When Ben isn't drawing, he enjoys cycling. A lot.


MUSICIAN:: Jade Daniel

Jade Daniel is a musician from Chicago, IL, who specializes in catchy songs with pop and rock influences in a modern style.

Growing up on the outskirts of Chicago listening to classic rock and hip-hop, moving on to a fascination with the pop-punk band Green Day, and more recently an inexplicable devotion to the Indie/EDM remix group The Chainsmokers, Jade’s sound is at once accessible and challenging. He skillfully blends the angst of battling self doubt with the life lessons learned therein.

Diana creates gorgeous and unique portrait work in her signature style that she calls "Squarism". She also enjoys doing chalkboard illustrations, live painting alongside music, and recently has adventured to mural painting creating her first mural at Acapulco Restaurant in Andover, MN.

Warren Peterson has been known for his highly intricate pen-and-ink style along with concert posters. Also developing his passion for painting in 2014, his paintings range from vibrant naturescapes and night skies, to bold portraiture, to visionary sacred geometry. He is also a musician, as WarrenPeace for solo works, and in the band THE BAD MAN, performing gigs in the NE Mpls area.

In a collaborative effort, Warren will be joinging Diana this month in the Jungle Red Gallery. They met at a bonfire before they even begun painting. They quickly grew a passion for it after going through hugely inspiring life transitions. They feel their bodies of work are strong individually, and vibe magically together in a shared space.

Both Diana & Warren will have prints and originals for sale.

December Rhythm & Red

Brant Kingman and Polly Penney

December in the Gallery : :

Start Seeing Angels : : an art exhibit by Brant Kingman and Polly Penney

Opens December 7, 2016 at 7PM, runs through Jan. 4th, 2017


IN A UNIQUE DECEMBER GALLERY:: A COLLABORATIVE EXHIBIT BY BRANT KINGMAN & his mother, Polly Penney

Before dementia struck, Brant and his mom, Polly Penney, practically neighbors in Minneapolis, engaged in frequent outings and lively conversations about life's ups and downs. Polly loved art but she had never made any. She had been an active member of the MIA, The Walker and The Weisman where she appreciated the artistic endeavors of others.

Polly’s symptoms of dementia began four years ago—at this time, Brant found himself getting impatient and sometimes downright angry, with Polly. Where did his intelligent mom go? The woman who formerly was Development Director for Harvard's Center for Plant Conservation and a former Vice President of MCAD couldn't find her way back home after driving to the grocery store. And why would she set the table with five knives, two spoons and no plates?

What followed for Kingman was an excruciating journey of witnessing the rapid deterioration of his mom's mental faculties. As her primary caretaker, Brant became determined to find a new way to help his mom enjoy her life and express herself—even as words failed her.

Brant recognized his mother’s need for connection but found their traditional conversations impossible. He knew how drawing silenced his own mind and wondered if it would do the same for his mother. "We started copying artworks by the great masters, like Picasso and the German Expressionists. I discovered Mom could sit quietly and draw for an hour. It was a new way for us to commune in a meaningful way."

What happened next was so very sweet, "While there was no denying that Mom was losing her intellect and struggled to complete a simple sentence, another faculty seemed to open up during our art sessions. I don't know how else to say it, it was as though art gave voice to her Higher Self. She would become very quiet and focused and then she would often start to talk about her mother, Mimi, and her dad. We would talk about how her parents were present around her and waiting for her to join them on the other side."

These conversations led Brant and Polly to draw angels. They copied angels from books and built sculptures of them. Brant set up a studio in his mom's garage so that she could participate in building the 3 dimensional angels that soon came to line the driveway up to the house. “I had no way of telling Mom anything she could remember,” said the artist, “We made angel sculptures from sticks we collected on walks. She loved the whole process. I installed three 6’ tall angels on fence posts leading up to her door to remind her of where she was in her life process. They were intended as symbols of transition.”

On November 28, Polly is moving to a memory care facility in Colorado where her daughter, Kate, Brant's sister, plans to care for Polly. This exhibit by Brant Kingman and Polly Penney is dedicated to all families who face challenges of memory care and aging. It’s presented with the hope that it will encourage the families to seek creative responses to end-of-life situations.
Kingman created a Facebook page where he has collected posts about the process of learning to love his dementia-plagued mother. The page contains 17 written posts and dozens of photos of his mother’s art and of her in the process of making art. The Facebook page is called Art 4 Dementia. Visit it here: https://www.facebook.com/Art4Dementia/

ARTS has been successful in raising awareness, support, and funding for the vast number of differently-abled artists, existing in our Minneapolis Arts Community.


THE ARTISTS ::
Julia C. Spencer
At age 13, Julia C. Spencer had the opportunity to attend a Summer Expression Session class at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. It was the experience of this class that propelled and fostered Julia’s dream of becoming a comic book artist. In 2003, Julia attended the Perpich Center for Arts Education where she intensively studied dance. Julia went on to enroll at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design as an Illustrator major, in 2005, but later her interests moved more to the area of Photography. In the spring of 2007, she became sick and stopped attending MCAD. Julia is currently working in the mediums of painting, photography, pastels, colored pencils, marker illustrations and jewelry.

Andrew Braunberger
Andrew Braunberger has been creating images, since discovering his thumbs. The artistic beginnings for Andrew involved working with soft pastels, in high school. He continued to love working with pastels as a medium, through his collegiate studies at the University of North Dakota. In 1992, Andrew graduated with a BA in Arts and Sciences through the Honors Program at UND—he has continued to work with pastels and consistently practice his craft, ever since. Many of Andrews works are in acrylic and oil, often with soft pastels used on top of these other media. Within his work you will notice vibrant colors and interaction within varying levels of opacity. Andrew also dabbles in digital art, but prefers the tactile experience of other media, more so than working digitally.

Allan Benson
In Allan’s words, “I create colorful patterns and shapes to make your eyes light up and to make the painting pop off the walls and ceilings and run away”.

Allan’s paintings and drawings of landscape, architecture, people, and still-life are expressions of what his vision of reality is. He creates images from what he sees and of his imagination.

Allan is inspired by plant life, the shapes of the land and architecture. He experiments and plays with perspective and dimension on the canvas and then fills it up with paint. Allan uses color and black outline to make the shapes pop out and appear more realistic. He likes to let his creativity run wild.

Allan recognized his abilities and desires to express himself through art in a class at Opportunity Partners, a Minnesota nonprofit organization that works alongside people with disabilities. Alan continues to strengthen his artistic visions and techniques in classes with his art mentor.

Allan has exhibited his work at the Hennepin County Library, Hopkins Center for the Arts, Opportunity Partners headquarters, Vision Loss Resources and Munka Beans Coffee Shop. His painting, Flower at Home, won 2nd place in painting at the Sister Kenney Annual International Art Show in May, 2009.

H. Leigh

October in the Gallery : : H. Leigh

THE ARTIST : H. Leigh is an acrylic painter who captures intimate connections with horses and uses them as a form of transformation and healing in the creative process. H. Leigh grew up as an only child of a single working parent and spent most of her time with horses. They have been integral to H’s recovery through grief and loss throughout her life. 

She traveled around the country with renaissance festivals through her early adult life and then became an advocate for youth and homelessness. Her professional background of advocacy within area shelters over an 18 year span, along with her own recovery, sparked her motion into painting the healing journey by using her deep connection with horses. Horses have listened to her deepest core and have never judged; they are honest; they are patient. Horses are prey animals and naturally respond to changes in their environment. They make great therapists due to this fight or flight response because they detect unheard shifts in their atmosphere. 

H. Leigh is a published poet, published painter, and a published photographer. She holds a B.A. in Creative Healing in Human Development; a degree she created to fit the love of nature and arts based education and psychology. H. enjoys researching creative processes, neuroscience, nature and arts based developmental psychology, and wishes to inspire people while they are on their own healing journey. 

THE MUSICIAN : Singer-songwriter Joe Carey has been around the MN music scene for nearly two decades. He's a vocally-driven, guitar heavy player that has been known to produce bold performances. 

In addition to producing and appearing on countless recordings, Joe has also released two solo albums Wondervibe (2003) and Sunflower Soul (2009), and in 2014, headed up the release of his roots rock band The Chinwaggers' Wayward Son which the Current called, "stylistically diverse, but big and bold from start to finish."

THE ARTIST : Kyle is an emerging freelance artist that explores his creative path using pencil, ink and acrylic paint.

Genevieve HessDonnie Stellmaker

June in the Gallery : : GENEVIEVE HESS

THE ARTIST : Genevieve began painting & drawing at a young age, and found watercolor as a portrait assignment in college. Watercolor was a medium that inspired but intimidated, portraits were a field she admired yet avoided, she hesitatingly stumbled into watercolor portraits & found it opened up new avenues for her art.
Absorbed in the world of painting techniques Genevieve discovered she doesn't use the medium traditionally. She paints tightly and with precision, especially in the portrayal of a person. Once the subject is accurately interpreted through her eyes, the creativity drifts in when she 'dresses up' the paintings in flowing whimsical and colorful embellishments, sprouting unexpectedly yet demanding equal attention as the subject. 
Genevieve believes each individual has a unique perspective & constructs hers through her art. Her paintings are inspired by beauty in humanity & the artistry of color. She hopes to portray balance between strength & delicacy, femininity & drama. Her prowess as an artist is often shown in striking images of women whom evoke strong yet fragile feelings in the observer. These paintings are more emotion based than conceptual, bringing beauty and aura to the space & mind it occupies.

THE MUSICIAN : Music has always played a big part in Donnie Stellmaker's life, giving context to and providing a cultural marker for just about every event in his life. Donnie has been dj'ing in some way or another for over 20 years. Doesn't beiieve in genres except good and not good. Does believe in the power of music to make everything better.
Current mood: Retrowave. For the unfamiliar, think of it as the best song Kenny Loggins never recorded. Power Up!

May in the Gallery : : MATTHEW GAULKE

THE ARTIST : Matthew Gaulke has been experiementing with art since gradeschool, from comic book characters to oil painting, and most recently marker drawing. Through the turbulence of life, including finding and later losing faith in religion, Matthew has found that making art is the only thing that gives his life meaning... Next to family and pizza. His current inspiration comes from super models because he finds them to be both unique looking and beautiful, which is what he hopes to achieve with his own art -- something unique but still beautiful. His collection of marker-drawn portriats will include a range of stripped down line drawings and drawing brilliantly placed shapes, color and shading, leading the viewer to engage with the depth and intricacy of the figure. Matthew tries not to over think his art, but rather just have fun with his creations and share that with others.

THE MUSICIAN : Jeff Swiff is a Minneapolis dance music enthusiast, promoter and DJ, with a residency at Minneapolis' Alibi Lounge.

Jim Marion Foreman Sarah Morris

March in the Gallery :: JIM MARION FOREMAN

THE ARTIST : James Foreman titles this body of work "MYSTICAL INQUIRIES" because he views artwork, the process of creating artwork, and the interaction of a viewer with artwork, as a mystical process of transformation. He believes that such transformation opens the heart even deeper into the wonders of life. The symbols in his work have no particular intentional meaning but are playful inquiries into the joys within the viewer. Within the work, that the symbols, and the background abstraction, are painted in a manner that evokes a deeper presence within the self. The paintings in this collection are titled as questions which intend to further evoke an attitude of exploration. James' philosophy on living his life is the same as how he paints: exploring the presence and direction of these mysteries through both painting and other art forms.

THE MUSICIAN : Sarah Morris has been described as a "rootsy singer with a Norah Jones-like approach to Americana/alt-country, smoothing over its rough edges with a butter-velvety voice and an intimate songwriting style" (Chris Riemenschneider, Star Tribune). Sarah has released two albums of original material, receiving critical praise and propelling her into the national spotlight as a top 4 finalist in The NewSong Music Contest in January 2016 where she had the honor to perform at New York’s famed Lincoln Center.

Jodi BeeSasha Mercedes

February in the Gallery :: Jodi Bee

THE ARTIST: Jodi Bee has a BFA in studio art: drawing and painting, as well as a BS in Art Education (K-12) and loves to be both an apprentice and a mentor. She creates colorful and inspirational art ranging from mixed media to mandalas to paintings and illustrations. Whether she's pulling together images, painting or drawing, she finds inspiration all around her. She collects and processes used books, cutting them apart and filing the images she likes. In her February exhibition you will get to experience how she shuffles images together that seem to relate or connect somehow - perhaps in feeling, color or narrative. This body of highly detailed collage work emphasizes geometry. An almost musical movement is created by repeating shapes in a rhythmical sequence. Circles are a common link among this body of work, representing wholeness, completeness and purity. Circles are the most important and universal geometric symbol because it is implicit in other important symbols such as the sacred halo, the face of a clock, the ring, the life cycle, as well as the stars and planets of our cosmos. The subject matter explores the sublime feelings of awe and wonder, and depict the transcendant moment of altered consciousness that unifies and unveils our human experience with others.

THE MUSICIAN : Sasha Mercedes is a singer/songwriter from Minneapolois, MN. She has traveled from coast to coast and abroad, performing and drawing inspiration out of every experience. Over the years, she has released 6 solo albums, and is currently in the pre-production stages of her next release!

Join us for the February edition of Rhythm & Red as we brighten up the gallery with Jodi's colorful, powerful imagery.

Her paintings will be on display in the Jungle Red Gallery during the month of January. What a perfect pairing as we head into the darker colder months in our home state. Winter in Minnesota is devoid of color and the eye is forced to notice the raw beauty in shadow and light. Likewise, these female perspectives show the range and variance of feminine emotion and their moments of light and darkness. Each piece is handcrafted with a variety of materials; acrylic paints, ink and stains, aerosol paints, metallic flecks and glitter.

The Musician: Peter Lochner is a songer/songwriter from Minneapolis, MN. He has played in the band Stook! & The Jukes since 2006 and is currently recording his second album.

JobyLynn has discovered that photography is calming for her, and it is not uncommon for JobyLynn to come home from an event having taken close to 1,000 photos in one evening. As someone who openly admits to suffering from mental illness she has been happy to learn that it’s the art that sustains her and sees her through her darkest of hours. She may paint murals one day, while arranging flowers the next.  She is stimulated and inspired most by anything visual. JobyLynn’s art is focused on emotional well-being, and is never limited to one medium. You may recognize JobyLynn’s mixed media artwork locally, as she was a window designer in the “Artist in Storefronts” project on Eat Street in Minneapolis. Join us in welcoming JobyLynn to the Gallery for an exhibit of photography during the month of December.

November in the Gallery :: ERIC KETELSEN

Eric's work can be characterized by pattern, repitition, and layering of tone & formal abstraction on paper. He is influenced by wabi-sabi. Often associated with the aesthetic of the Japanese tea ceremony, wabi-sabi recognizes beauty in the imperfect, worn, aged, faded, simple or crude. He often strives for a look of faded or aged tone or an imperfect “wash” in his work. He's also fascinated with the quality of line, mark, & stroke of the pencil on the page.

Please join us in celebrating Kristi’s innovative and exciting art on Wednesday June 4th, 7:00-9:00 pm here at The Jungle Red Gallery. This is a free event!

*Complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served along with a CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN provided by The Melting Pot – Minneapolis!*

From early childhood, Kristi has spent her life travelling between Sydney, Australia and Saint Paul, Minnesota. She was seldom without a book, a Barbie doll and a set of coloring pencils. After graduate degrees in Design and an Executive MBA, she rose to be the CEO of an online simulation company. Then, in 2012, she decided to ditch the corporate life for one where she could focus on her true passion – to become a living artist!

Kristi is fascinated with the use of color, pattern and texture. She tries to combine these three elements in all of her works.

Her latest series concentrates on the technique of collage and combining imagery and papers in a complex way to create beautiful, multi-layered artworks. Materials such as foils, lace and chalk are layered together to create a feel of unique texture that will be a fresh, new addition for our gallery.

Local country/pop musicians Benjamin Kelly and Rachel Sara Roberts will be playing LIVE here in the gallery as our featured music artists.

This duo began their partnership in the spring of 2012 and have then been creating tunes together ever since.

We can't wait to see you all there!

Jungle Red Salon Spa Gallery is thrilled host artists Celia Graham and Allison Oreck for a dual showcase of our May edition of Rhythm & Red. Both Celia and Allison have a youthful and light-hearted style of art with inspiration stemming from bold, rich colors.

Allison is a local artist who expresses herself using deep, rich colors. She hopes her art will enhance any room and bring happiness to those who view her work.

“The art I am planning to show at Jungle Red is drawn from multiple inspirations. I love to pull inspiration from textile prints, the latest trends in home decor and experiment with unique techniques. Color, print, pattern and texture are all things I strive to incorporate in every piece. My work appeals to many different aesthetics. I believe the art people surround themselves with should be a reflection of the life they want to lead and bring happiness to a room!” Allison Oreck

Celia, another Minnesota native, loves to work primarily with acrylics. Her art explores portraits and landscapes and, most recently, she has found inspiration from youth and the magic of innocence.

“I like beautiful things. Shapes and colors that have no explicit intellectual or emotional message can be very inspiring- they have a way of speaking to everyone individually. Also, a lot of my work is inspired by the magic found in innocence and youth.” -Celia Graham

MEET THE ARTIST: MEGAN DOMAN

Image

Granddaughter to an industrial designer, Minnesota native Megan Doman, inherited his artistic talent. Don Doman was an educated, creative, and diligent designer. At the height of his career he was a product designer for Raymond Loewy Associates in Chicago, design director for the Parker Pen company and eventually owning his own industrial design firm; Don Doman Associates Inc.

From an early age, Megan Doman began following in her Grandfather’s footsteps. After her instructors noted her level of detailed drawings compared to her pre-school peers, Megan’s parents encouraged her interests. During middle school and high school she took every available art course, including painting, drawing, photography, pottery, fashion, and CAD. Formal training came from courses at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and her Bachelor’s of Fine Art degree in interior design from the College of Design, Iowa State University (ISU). While attending ISU, Megan had the privilege of studying abroad in Rome, Italy. There her talent flourished under the influences of her European professors, the culture, and history.

Today, Megan is happily creating custom pieces from her home studio in hopes not only fill her Grandfather’s shoes, but to out-grow them.

Philanthropy in the Jungle
August 9, 2013

Staying on top of the latest hair, skin and beauty trends is what we do best, and one trend that never goes out of style is philanthropy! Here at Jungle Red we genuinely believe in giving back. We strive to be good neighbors and support the Twin Cities community we are so proud to be a part of. 

One unique way we support the community is through our art gallery. Each month we give a different, local artist an opportunity to showcase their work in our gallery. To help promote the featured artist we host a reception called Rhythm & Red. This event, which takes place on the first Wednesday of each month, is a great opportunity for the artist to mingle with the public and everyone to enjoy live music, wine and snacks. To learn more about Rhythm and Red, visit: http://jungleredsalon.com/events

Another way we give back is through our Annual "Treasure for Teens” event.  “Treasures for Teens” is truly a night to remember! The evening features silent auctions, giveaways and fun performances. Proceeds from the event support Avenues For Homeless Youth, a transitional housing program for teens that find themselves with nowhere to go. To learn more about Avenues visit: http://www.avenuesforyouth.org/

 We are currently raising funds in cooperation with the non-profit organization, Carrie’s Fund, to send our scholarship winner, Deanne to the Aveda Institute. We set out to raise $10,000 and are only $800 away from reaching our goal! Please stop in or give us a call (612-870-0653) if you’d like to help!

            Looking to do some good? Here a FEW of our other favorite charities…

24th Annual Polo Classic
July 26, 2013

The Jungle Red team is very excited to be participating in this year’s Polo Classic supporting the University of Minnesota Leatherdale Equine Center! We’ll be judging the ever-popular hat parade during the event, which is awesome since we consider ourselves style experts…but, we don’t know much about the actual sport, so we did some research. Did you know that the first polo matches were played in Persia around 500 B.C.? That makes polo the oldest team sport in history! Around the 1860’s polo made it’s way to England and on to the United States from there. Polo is still a very popular around the world and has many passionate fans.

Dress is a large part of the fun of polo matches. It’s a chance for spectators to get dressed up and show off their personal style. Men typically wear nice pants and a polo shirt with an optional sports coat. Women tend to have more acceptable options, but sundresses and maxi-style dresses are the most popular. Jewelry, handbags and of course, hats are used to complete the outfits (think Julia Roberts in the polo scene of “Pretty Woman”). Women typically wear flats or wedges, but never heels because they would get stuck in the field during the traditional divot stomp at halftime. 

Polo matches are fun events for all ages. They’re a great reason to get together with friends and family, dress up and enjoy the outdoors. If you’re interested in attending the event with us, stop into the Jungle to purchase tickets or visit www.thepoloclassic.com to learn more.

We’ll see you, and your fabulous hat there! 

Food for Healthy Summer Skin
July 12, 2013

You know the old adage, “You are what you eat”? Well, it seems to be true and your skin reflects it! Many of us claim that chocolate makes us break-out or that potato chips make our skin oily, but there are plenty of foods that can help your skin become healthier. Here are a few foods that will help you perfect a healthy, summer glow.

-       Strawberries, Pomegranate, Kiwi, & Blueberries

  • These fruits are filled with anti-oxidants and vitamin C, that help improve the collagen in your skin.

-       Salmon

  • This fish is known for its’ fatty acids, specifically the kind that protect the cell membranes of your skin.

-       Sweet Potatoes

  • Besides the amazing amounts of vitamin C, potassium and calcium, sweet potatoes have a high level of vitamin A and beta-carotene. These elements are crucial for healthy skin and help prevent aging.

-       Green Tea

  • Drink up! This beverage’s anti-oxidants help fight the built up wastes in our skin. By riding your skin of waste you can prevent acne.
  • To mix things up, you can put chilled, damp tea bags over your eyes. The tea bags act as an astringent, which reduces puffiness.
  • Studies have also shown that green tea may prevent the risk of skin cancer by protecting it from UV rays.

Try incorporating these skin-healthy foods into your diet this summer and your skin will surely thank you!

Brooke Nieland (Marketing Assistant) is a native of St. Cloud, MN. Brooke’s realization for her true passion of design sits near and dear to her heart. As a way to enhance her spiritual connection to her late father, Brooke wanted to gain knowledge in his former field of carpentry and construction. By educating herself in these areas, Brooke was able to establish her true talents within drawing and design aspects. Brooke attended Alexandria Technical and Community College where she earned her AAS degree in Communication Art & Design. She continued her education by completing her certification in Advanced Multimedia and Web Design. Currently, Brooke is enrolled at University of MN to complete her Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design. She also works at a local branding agency in NE Minneapolis, while still making time to teach painting classes with Wine and Canvas throughout the Twin Cities area. Brooke remains connected to carpentry as a hobby to continue her father’s passion.

Chris Lindahl (Stylist) is joining us as a featured artist this month with many creative talents. With over 20 years of art experience, Chris appreciates expressing his creative side across multiple mediums. Chris enjoys creating oil painting, dabbles in canvas painting from time to time and insists that he “doesn’t take anything seriously.” In addition, Chris’ background and career as a hair stylist has allowed him to demonstrate his artist skills through hair and personal care. His passion for art, styling and customer satisfaction truly reveals his artistic capacity. Outside of working at Jungle Red and painting, Chris enjoys playing golf and creating music.

Katie Sellner (Graphic Designer) is a graduate from the former College of Visual Arts in St. Paul, MN. She earned her BFA in 2012 and has been working hard ever since. Katie illustrates work that portrays a dry comical stance on the deeper psychological mechanisms. Her work is narrative, comic-like and often inspired by the people she is surrounded by. Her work includes one-liners that that allow the viewer to glimpse into the portrayed character’s psyche.

Jaimie Juettner (Stylist) is a familiar face at Jungle Red as she is a current stylist, cosmetologist and continuing education coordinator on our team. Jaimie has a strong passion for art and creativity through both professional measures and painting. Jaimie attended Westmore Academy of Cosmetic Arts to further her knowledge in the field. Her appetite for art is primarily a hobby, in which she gains her inspiration from personal life experiences and human emotion. Outside of the salon and painting, Jaimie enjoys spending time with her family and staying active through marathons and ice skating

Madison Elyse Rubenstein (Friend of Salon) is a multi-disciplinary artist with a focus in painting, drawing, and printmaking. She was born in Los Angeles and grew up in Bloomington, MN. Her plan is to graduate with a degree in Drawing & Painting from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in the fall of 2013. Madison Elyse works in a variety of media and focuses on the ephemeral qualities of communication. She is interested in visceral and emotional experiences that are more appropriately described through images rather than language. Madison Elyse is also the Artistic Director of The Friction Collective, a multi-disciplinary queer arts collective based in Minneapolis. To view more of her work, go to www.madisonelyserubenstein.com

DJ Weizy (Friend of Salon) is back by popular demand for July’s Rhythm & Red mixer. Currently, Weizy is a monthly resident at Gingerhop in NE Minneapolis and regularly attends Evolution Sundays on Crave Rooftop, Downtown. We have been honored to have Weizy spin his great mixes at several Jungle Red events. He has played a wide array of tunes ranging from progressive house at raves and events such as Bash in the Grass, near his hometown of Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Weizy has had the pleasure to play alongside such artists as Paul Oakenfold, Donald Glaude, Pete Tong, DJ Dan, Tiesto, Max Graham, Luke Fair, DJ Jay Tappe and many more well known and respected DJs.

Organic Spray Tan Benefits
June 28, 2013

Ladies and gentlemen, it's wedding season and love is in the air! Whether you’re walking down the aisle yourself or attending as a guest, you’ll want to look your best for these special events. One way to ensure you look and feel great in your summer formal wear is to have glowing, golden skin. As you may know, UV tanning is not very safe, nor is it very effective; that’s why more and more people are turning to spray tanning to achieve that highly sought-after glow. Though traditional spray tans offer some pros, like evening skin tone and blending tan lines, there are also many cons to consider, including: 

  • DHA is a chemical commonly found in spray tanning solution, which can cause damage to cells, add to the risk of birth defects with pregnant women, and could possibly lead to cancer
  • There is alcohol and parabens found in most spray tanning solutions, which can dry out skin and cause irritation
  • The harsh fumes and odors in spray tan could be dangerous to inhale on a regular basis
  • The color can be too “orange” or artificial, which is typical because there is only one standard shade in most solutions

If all of this sounds a bit scary, don’t worry, we have a safer way to keep you golden for wedding season and year-round: organic spray tan! Organic spray tanning solutions, like the kind we use at Jungle Red, offer the same if not better results than traditional spray tans, but without the harmful chemicals.

Here are some of the benefits of organic spray tans:

  • The DHA in organic solution is derived from plants and sugar cane, not chemically created
  • Organic solutions are paraben and alcohol free
  • There aren’t harsh odors
  • Colors are customized and picked based on your skin tone to avoid looking fake
  • And best of all, the price is comparable to that of traditional spray tans

Here in the Jungle we are proud to offer a completely customizable spray tan experience using only Sjolie Tanning Products, which are 100 percent organic, vegan and PETA approved. Call us at  612-870-0653 to see the beautiful benefits yourself! 

Waxing Tips for Bikini Season
June 21, 2013

Today is the first offical day of summer, and you know what that means ladies- bikini season! Whether you’re an avid waxer or a first timer, a body wax can be a very intimate and at times intimidating experience, but don’t fret, we’re here to make your waxing experience as pleasant as possible.

When you decide you’re ready to plunge into the world of waxing, here are some things to keep in mind:

-Exfoliate the area the night before your wax to remove any dead skin or lotion that may prevent the wax from sticking.

-You may want to take an over the counter painkiller 20 minutes before your appointment to take the edge off of the sting.

-Make sure you let the hair you are going to get waxed grow at least one quater inch- this will allow for the wax to grab the hair most effectively.

Let us make your waxing experience a great one! Call 612-870-0653 or stop into the Jungle to set your appointment.
