Tania Nelson is a 2D mixed media artist and street photographer living in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Her work is most influenced by the modern human experience. She captures and shares the moments, ideologies, struggles, and great debates of our time. Whether with a simple snapshot or a thoughtfully layered canvas of paint and ephemera, her goal is always to give the viewer something new to chew on, protest, google, and enjoy.

J. Ellis Blaise hails from Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. At an early age, he descended into dungeons with pen and paper in hand. Enchanted by spells and sipping bitter tea warmed by dragon fire, he wrote tales of magical places. He gained an audience among his peers as his elementary school teachers read his stories to the class.

For nearly two decades, J. Ellis Blaise has served as a spiritual director, counselor, and chaplain. His debut novel, The Fullness of Time, began as a bedtime story for his four children. His wife—a creative genius with the flare and grace of a goddess—granted him frequent passage to the kingdom of Nantes, where he completed the first book in the trilogy.

Through myth and mire, the Treasure in a Field trilogy silhouettes the order, disorder, and reorder pattern of life.
