Felice House

“To portray women without objectifying them is an intentional, political act. The art historical tradition is to paint women to extol their sexual beauty and to encourage possessiveness. There is a new guard of women painters who provide a counterpoint to this tradition by depicting a more multifaceted version of the female psyche. I align myself as an artist with them by attempting to broaden the depiction of women as subjects in painting. My subjects are beautiful and observable, but not consumable. They are more public than private and more iconic than intimate. My paintings have a strong connection to traditional portraiture in both style and technique. However, my subjects are contemporized through the use of modern fashion, unexpected facial expressions, unique color relationships and photographic cropping.” ~FELICE HOUSE

Dana Younger

Dana Younger, VP of Blue Genie Art, is truly a man for all seasons. Besides being a painter, sculptor, mold maker, and computer artist, Dana is one of the chief innovators at Blue Genie Art. His Fascination with the creative process and all types of matreials keeps Blue Genie Art on the cutting edge. Essentially, he is a one man research and development team, and it was on his urging that [they] recently acquired [a] new 3D laser scanner and 3 axis CNC milling machine and our Polyurea spray equipment.

Dana also had an unusual childhood, including building and living in a log cabin without electricity (his stories of walking in the snow for miles to get to school are actually true!) and living on the Pacific Ocean in a sail boat.
