THE ARTISTS

WILL LUNSFORD

Will Lunsford is a Knoxville native and he has been creating art for many many years. You've undoubtedly seen his work and murals in places like Dogwood elementary school, the Downtown Knoxville Mural Project (along Church Street) and Southland Books and Cafe. His art and graphics company is WIDE AWAKE MEDIA.

LAUREN LAZARUS​

Knoxville-based artist, Lauren Lazarus, has produced a wide variety of art in recent years, ranging anywhere from vibrant alcohol ink paintings to larger than life abstracts.  In late 2019, she launched her gallery, located at 108-2 E. Jackson Ave in the historic "Old City" neighborhood of downtown Knoxville, called the LAZ Gallery.  Unfortunately, the surprise pandemic threw a wrench in things, as we all know. But nothing can stop an artist from creating. 2020 was the year for heavy social media usage and less face-to-face time. Feel free to contact and connect with Lauren via her website, email or social media -- links below. 

JESSICA RAMSEY​

Jessica Dover Ramsey, artist and owner of Jessica Ramsey Art & Murals, traces her love of art to second grade. “My mother started the Art Masters art program at Sequoyah Elementary School. I got to explore different genres at home and at school. I became excited about art in elementary school. In middle school, it was my favorite class. At West High School, I couldn’t take enough art. 

“I’m honored that so many clients want my murals and art in their space,” she said. “I consult
with clients about their vision, and I make their dreams a reality. What they have dreamt up, I will manifest. I think great art tells a great story."
