American Labour Day: 5 American Artists

To celebrate American Labour Day – and because one of our co-founders is from the US – we spotlight 5 artists on Rise Art who are red, white and blue with lots of stars. From the incredible stillness in Geoffrey Agron's photograph of San Francisco Bay, to  Adrian Esparza's weaves and nails, evoking the border between Mexico and America, we tribute some of our American artists.

The soft, pastel palette of Kristin's acyrlic on canvas piece, imbues musings of Californian hazy beach days. So much so, that our operations manager joked that the piece could be a Billabong advert. Obviously, this was a joke.

How it Ends
