Who We Are

We are the Art Generators.
You are an Art Generator.

We are a collective of artists working together to help eachother succeed. We are portrait artists, printmakers, tattooers, acrylic painters, ceramicists, fiber artists….

There is overlap in everything we do. We share our wins and our losses. Our mistakes and our successes. We believe that art is for everyone. We believe that winning is for everyone.

The Team

  • Natalie Crandall

    Painting

    Natalie Crandall is a painter based in Maplewood, New Jersey. Working with acrylic paints, she transforms thrifted frames into one-of-a-kind pieces of art, often incorporating the frame itself into the design for a fully reimagined look. Her work is characterized by playful, abstract interpretations of everyday objects—florals, fruits, motifs, symbols, and colors that evoke mood and emotion. Natalie spent 17 years in a career in education as a teacher, coach, and leader, and coming back to painting as her full-time focus changed her life. She hopes her art will help others embrace their own abundant creative possibilities, too.

  • Sumana Ghosh-Witherspoon

    Textiles

    Sumana is a designer and artist who blends her NYC art direction background with her Indian heritage to create evocative surface patterns and textile designs. Her use of rubber stamp printmaking, a traditional technique reimagined through her own lens, blends with soft textures to create layered, emotive pieces which speak of memory, movement, identity, and home. Her notable collaborations range from PBS Fabrics and Sienna Store Kolkata to a recent custom jersey design for the NJ Devils.

  • Ken Stanek

    Painting

    Ken Stanek has often been described as a "local watercolor documentarian”, which he likes quite a bit. Ken began his art career in 2023 and his work as an artist in 1977. He draws on 20 years of skills from his graphic design career to build his brand & support his art community. In his portfolio you’ll find portraits of people, pets, places, houses, weddings - all rendered with a generous smattering of memories and moments.
