Artists
Lali Nicole Young
“We humans are strange beings, we like strange things.” ~ Lali Nicole Young
Lali Nicole Young is a multidisciplinary artist and creative community-builder who believes art should feel welcoming, playful, and human. Her work blends movement, visual art, and shared experiences that invite people to reconnect with their creativity—no matter their background. As the founder of Ladyship Productions and co-creator of Temple Arts Collective, she creates spaces where people can experiment, express themselves, and feel at home making art. From movement classes to collaborative art events, Lali’s work centers on connection, curiosity, and the joy of creating without pressure.
Gerrie Young
Gerrie is a painter whose work explores form and emotional resonance. Drawing inspiration from both internal landscapes and the natural world, her paintings invite viewers into moments of reflection, curiosity, and connection.
Leslie Hall
Leslie was born in Tucson and spent much of her life in the Sonoran Desert, where she developed a deep connection to place while teaching and practicing art. Her work is grounded in ongoing experimentation and material exploration, using clay and mixed media to articulate an evolving visual language. She considers herself a multidisciplinary artist.
Jane Kroesen
Smelling my grandma’s dirt floor basement, shaping the mud I pulled from the creek’s bank and, of course, building sand castles with the warm sun at my back, has fed my artistic being. Clay nurtures my love of shape and my earth connection. Life’s transitory nature, lessons of defeat and destruction, replicates itself in clay work. “Let go of expected outcomes,” Clay says; she gives me courage to go forward again and again with a new perspective.
Temple Arts Collective
At Temple Arts Collective, we believe creativity is a relationship, not a performance.
Our art experiences emphasize listening to materials and trusting intuition to art-making: we honor materials, images, and process as living collaborators rather than passive tools. Clay, charcoal, paint, paper, and body are treated as expressive partners with their own rhythms, boundaries, and wisdom.
