Stippling Ink & Portrait Artist

Artist Bio:

Azareah York is an Atlanta-born and raised interpretive portrait artist whose work explores emotion, presence, and the inner life. Art has been her primary outlet since childhood, serving as both a form of expression and a way to process the world around her.

Raised in an artistic family, York was deeply influenced by her late grandmother, a painter who worked extensively with oil pastels and instilled a love of creating at a very young age. This early exposure shaped York’s commitment to art as a lifelong practice and foundation for connection, reflection, and storytelling.

Working primarily in ink, York creates highly detailed stipple portraits—drawing entirely with dots—through a slow, meditative process rooted in observation and likeness. Her work explores the emotional highs and lows of life, allowing subtle symbolism and psychological depth to emerge over time.

York’s current practice is evolving toward a more surreal and symbolic visual language while remaining grounded in portraiture. In addition to her studio work, she is opening portrait commissions and developing a nonprofit workshop initiative focused on making art accessible, non-intimidating, and community-centered, exploring creativity as a tool for healing and shared experience.

Jasmine Elise

My name is Jazzy Elise, I am a local established architectural artist.

Born, raised and now thriving in Atlanta, GA, USA. I have traveled around the world, studied architecture and practiced as an engineer.

I am a life enthusiast and family centric, all of this experience often shows in my artwork. I own a company called Jazzymade TM creating functional fine art for collectors in the form of journals, clocks and prints. My work has been featured in galleries and museums and my collectors live all over the world!

I really enjoy uplifting and inspiring people through my art; it is my purpose in life. “Be where you are, any place can be your creative space. Just be inspired by everything around you. I am.

I began my interest in art as early as 7, oftentimes enjoying creating more than watching TV with my siblings. I remember as a girl being excited to create art for my loved ones. It would be personal with a poem, an illustration, and framed. I valued giving my artwork more than buying something from the store. It felt like giving them a piece of my soul, something they could cherish forever. I got so much joy from making them smile.

Robert “Trust” Truesdale

Born in Lancaster, South Carolina, Robert Truesdale—affectionately known as “Trust” by friends and family—has called Atlanta home since his college years at Morehouse, where he met and married his Spelman College sweetheart, Wanda Walker. Though he has always had a deep passion for art, Robert placed his creative pursuits on hold while working a full career at BellSouth and raising a family.

After retiring in 2006, Robert returned to his artistic roots in 2014 with a renewed vision and purpose. Determined to refine his craft, he enrolled in Georgia State University’s GSU-62 program in 2015, diving into formal training to explore a variety of artistic methods and techniques.

Today, Robert has developed a distinct and captivating style that fuses precision and imagination. He creates striking portraits and cityscapes using an intricate collage technique—cutting and arranging thousands of pieces of paper to form richly textured and visually compelling works. Each piece tells a layered story, bridging the worlds of painting and sculpture, realism and abstraction.

His work is not only a testament to lifelong creativity, but also a celebration of second chapters—proof that it’s never too late to rediscover your passion and share it with the world.

Quincee Donell

ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM
Quince Donnell is an abstract expressionist painter whose work
draws deeply from the organic rhythms and emotional power of the
natural world. Trees, flowers, mountain ranges, and flowing bodies of
water are recurring motifs in her work – not only as visual
references, but as emotional landscapes that reflect the human
experience.


Born and raised in the suburban corridors of Washington D.C. and
Atlanta, Quince developed an early appreciation for the arts. Her
creative journey began in high school and has since grown into a
lifelong calling. She later became a board member of the Doraville Art
Center, where she contributed to programming that supports local
artists and nurtures community engagement through the visual arts.
For Quincee, painting is more than a practice – it is an essential form
of expression, healing, and connection. Her work is characterized by
layered textures, intuitive movement, and vibrant, earthy palettes
that evoke a sense of grounding and freedom.

Allison Rollins

We’re proud to showcase the vibrant, memory-infused work of Atlanta-based painter Allison Rollins here at The Art of Touch Massage.

Working in oil, acrylic, and mixed media, Allison’s art captures moments that feel both intimate and fleeting — like watching a scene dissolve into memory. Her loose brushstrokes, vivid colors, and textured surfaces breathe life into the small, meaningful moments that often pass too quickly.

Growing up near the Florida coast, Allison often returns to beach imagery, exploring how waves, light, and movement break apart into color and abstraction. Each piece invites you to linger, reflect, and feel the passage of time in a new way.

DAWN CORNER

ARTIST. EDUCATOR & ADVOCATE

Dawn is a self-taught artist, who has been painting and teaching for over 10-years and has perfected her style using acrylic and collage
on canvas, paper and wood. Her paintings are characterized as a
deep layering of colors and textures finished with a glossy glaze to
draw out the intensity of colors. One of her favorite subjects are angels. She gravitated to painting angels after being inspired by her
mother – Jane S Bonner.
The range of Dawn’s subjects vary from festive holiday cheer to beautiful pleasing paintings of family abstracts, flowers, farm houses, churches, animals, along with her wonderful iconic angels. She intentionally creates from an expressive play with colors and texture, adding in vintage papers, from music, old books and old wallpaper when she can find it. She is constantly experimenting,
changing and developing each piece until the layers and image come into focus.

Dawn has studied with many notable artists including Robert Burridge, Gary Bodner, Leslie Newman to name a few.
Currently Dawn holds small group classes in a safe environment.

Please visit Dawn’s website, artbydawncorner.com, to view her work

Tesa Lang

ARTIST. EDUCATOR & ADVOCATE

Tessa Lang grew up in Wisconsin, caked in paint, pottery, and permanent marker, and dreaming of Van Gogh’s Starry Night skies. In 2014, Tessa had her first art show in Tokyo. She stepped into the Asheville art scene in 2017 with shows downtown and gallery space in the River Arts District. For the last six years, Tessa has created and shown out her studio at Wedge Studios. “My creations focus on
movement, emotion, and are extremely energy driven. When people walk into the studio and are attracted to certain paintings, it gives me insight into who they are. I want you to step in and say “wow” and feel joy and connectivity to art.


“Tessa’s creations aren’t limited to the canvas she also puts her artwork on leggings meant to help you feel special, unique and
confident. Commissions are some of her favorite works, because she is able to build a real relationship with the collector. “I spend time
listening and understanding their style to discover their vision and bring it to life,” she says “My mission is to bring others joy and
connectivity through my creations”.

CONFLUENCE

 

Adam T. Hall
WOOD CARVING ARTIST

My work is an attempt to revisit the ideas and update the methods
of surrealist automatism by applying the technical process of
subtractive painting. I lay down thick layers of paint onto a variety of
surfaces, then using q-tips, cotton balls, and palette knives, I wipe
away paint to create hundreds (sometimes thousands) of lines that
weave, curl, twist, braid, and connect to create an image while also
leaving behind a tactile texture.

I am currently attempting to push the sensory experience even further through the use of color and the manipulation of texture. In
some pieces I am able to add a variety of colors by laying down layers of different colors of paint so that each line created will be a
different color depending on the amount of pressure I apply during the subtraction process. I have also created pieces that lack color
altogether (ex. layering black paint onto a black surface or white paint onto a white surface) thus the image survives solely due to its texture.
