Each of The 4 Aces of Visual Arts will be revealed over a 4 week period with 4 individual video vignette events introducing & highlighting each Ace, ending with a 5th video vignette event that will highlight the entire group.

The videos vignettes will air on Opportunity Arts’ Facebook & Instagram, as well as permanently on the Opportunity Arts website. Viewers & fans are encouraged to tune in from wherever they are.

Claude J.P. is an Illustrator & Graphic Designer from Lansing, MI. He has presented work at multiple events & venues including Shuto Con, Washi Con, Kogan Con, Cedar Street Art Collective, MICA Gallery, Old Town Sidewalk Sale, The Fledge, Great Lakes Arts and Gifts, at the REO Town Outdoor Artisan Market, the MSU Broad, the MSU Broad Art Lab, and the Arts Council of Greater Lansing. Claude studied Graphic Communication at Lansing Community College, where he received his Associates Degree. He is a 4th generation graphic artist and has been featured as a guest on The Fledge’s show Every Damn Day with Jerry Norris, and has his own podcast at www.FromArtToZine.com.

Claude is pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Marketing from Davenport University, and lives with his husband and young son. He states in his own words that, “It took me a long while to get used to my own identity which is why so much of my work deals with this theme. I'm a transgender man, gay, am on the spectrum of schizophrenic disorders, and experience disability, and in that way so much of my identity is wrapped up in these facets.” Claude has a natural zest for love and ideas. “When people see my work, I'd like them to think about their own life, love, and dreams.”

Julia Doty is a mixed media artist from Lansing, MI, who's biggest goal is to “light up a little bit of the world” with her art. In addition to her art being available via a variety of websites online, Julia can also be found selling her art at local area market events including Mega Mall Flea Market & Little Red Schoolhouse Flea Market. She also has work on display at Bazonzoes Provisioning Center. A second generation artist, Julia enjoys creating plant themed artwork because as she says, there has not been a single time that she could stay sad around nature. She believes everyone should experience nature & art, and she tries her best to capture that feeling in her work.
