Margo Vaughn’s current series is experimental and exploratory in nature.   Essentials of abstract contemporary painting, such as color theory, composition, balance, shape and texture, take the stage in partnership with expressive drawing. Her process entails creating many layers,  adding and removing acrylic paint, using  small embellishments such as tissue paper and collage as frequent visitors.    A sense of depth is paramount in her intentions so a sense of falling into the painting is common and contributes to the dialogue between the viewer and the work. The viewer is encouraged to step closer, investigating underlying meanings and messages.   

The emotional backdrop to her themes would be identifying the feelings that lay  in the shadows of our mind but are not  acknowledged in our outer reality or disclosed to those around us.  Our shadow self is another layer of our identity,  disclosing memories, reflections, regret, guilt, self hatred,  along with such things as revenge, sorrows, dreams,  and fears.   An attempt to dialog with these fleeting moments of our human existence are the origins of these abstract paintings.  

Jerrie’s art is an expression of being blessed, by God through her family, beyond measure.

In 2007 she authored and illustrated her first children’s book, A Prayer for Wings – A Journey of Nipaerilla the Caterpillar.

Over the years her art has taken on new dimensions, where she has tutored art students, taught art therapy classes, and expanded to digital art. No matter what the medium or the platform, the grace and love of God is always expressed in every creative work.

She signs all her work with JEMS

J- Jerrie her nick name
E- Essie her middle name from her grandmother, her childhood hero
M- Mae her grandmother’s middle name, Jerrie selected on adoption day
S- Settles her last name she received when marrying the love her life.

​And the Lord said to me; “your signature means Jesus Eternally Making Sketches.” Now God is still working in her life behind the scenes; ensuring the sketches will never stop.

Ricardo’s graphic design work finds its identity in a type-focused, minimalist discipline, and his photography allows him to explore many other avenues he is interested in–landscape and nature, street photography, concert and portraiture work, and abandoned photography. That great love is what led him to start Show And Tale Creative. With his work, he hopes to explore all of the different creative avenues that interest him while inspiring and lifting some truly amazing people.
