Elyse Parandes
I was born into a long line of artists but my art was never like anyone else in the family. I decided to go into veterinary arts instead and then eventually trained to be a peer specialist and had a career in mental health for about 10 years. In 2016 I got very sick and realized that art was my one true love and all I’ve ever really wanted to do so I’ve been pursuing the arts ever since. I like to keep it interesting by trying my hand in different art forms such as murals, dreamcatchers, sculptures, teaching, and commissions.
Ken Berube
Big Teddy Studios is the home for the art work and creations of Ken Berube, aka Big Teddy. ‘Diverse’ may be the best way to describe the work here. Subject matter can range from social commentary to pop culture mash ups. Themes can run from dark and serious to light hearted and fun. Choice of medium is equally diverse. I believe the medium should be whatever best suits the idea. Amongst my work you’ll find paintings, found object sculptures, digital prints, modified toys and pretty much anything else I find that serves the work. Having earned a bachelor’s degree in fine art from the University of Massachusetts, I have been living and creating in Massachusetts for the last 25 years. My signature name comes from my kids who have dubbed me the ‘Big Teddy’.
Michael Keenan
I am an independent artist based out of Worcester, MA. I started scribbling on my desk in 4th grade with a number 2 pencil, now I mostly use acrylic and markers on canvas. Trying to get some art work out into the public and network within the art community. Thanks for looking.
