We want to Thank all of the participating artists again for your submissions to Lake Affect Magazine!
We received an unprecedented number of submissions and want to ensure that your artwork can be showcased in our community of artists and we are grateful to receive & review such a wide array of inspiring work created throughout the Western NY, Central NY, and Finger Lakes regions.
Lake Affect Magazine wanted to create a special space for the artists that we cannot publish in our upcoming issue, so we created an online gallery to showcase their work to our entire readership and viewership. This is an opportunity for exposure that we hope will also facilitate collaboration and community among artists.
Cruz Newman
Cruz was born and raised in Mérida; a beautiful valley surrounded by gigantic mountains in the Venezuelan Andes. She got a degree in Industrial design and moved to London to learn English and experience the world from a different perspective.
Love and life brought Cruz to the US in 2015. She lives in the beautiful Finger Lakes area where she finds so much joy and inspiration for her art.
She has enjoyed creating using different mediums. Her current favorite is watercolor, which she uses for her illustrations with a whimsical style.
