Ashly is a Denton enthusiast and was so excited to be a small part of such a big project. Coming from a small town like Bridgeport with no square of their own, she has always loved the vitality of our historical square. Watching it come to life as the painters transformed simple prints into life like models has been a highlight of her time in Denton. In her 17 years of living in Denton she has always been amazed at the community coming together to give the city that small town vibe.

 J.B. Hasty is a general hobbyist who bites off a lot more than he can chew & then uses the savage momentum of pure panic to finish nearly on-time with somewhat dubious results. He is a mid-level hipster who grinds his own coffee beans but still doesn't know how to make aioli, which glass to use with which fancy beer, and doesn't wear hats (lawnwork excluded, obviously). He is well known for [I'm sure I'll think of something before sending this out].

Itty is part baking elf and known for her butter rumcakes and fudge. She heard the call, "Bring me....a shrubbery! One that looks nice and isn't too expensive." She doesn't live in a tree (like some baking elves), but figured she could try her hand at making some. Weeks of trial & error, manicures ruined, and a few naughty words tossed in, finally paid off! She is tiny and tenacious and already looking forward to next Halloween!

I am a diverse creative with varied skills from many many years of project hopping. I never know when techniques from 14 hyperfixations ago are going to apply to the next thing. I’m a community taught artist and love to learn from others. This project has been a great way for me to exercise my varied skills while also experimenting with new mediums and collaborating with everyone involved. Most of my painting was done with a pug in my lap, her name is Lucy and she is excellent at bumping my arm right when I’m painting the smallest and most important details.

Tracy has been here since the 1900s and raised 3 children as Dentonites. A commercial real estate appraiser and Managing Partner of TM Appraisal Associates on the square, she's very much an architecture and downtown nerd with a love for the area and characters that tell the Denton story. Her husband, Ben Runnels, will have nightmares about 3D printing tree trunks for eternity. An all around creative, she lends her plethora of varied creative, mechanical, and organizational skills to building community through volunteerism for multiple organizations currently serving as Board President of Interfaith Ministries of Denton. She was allowed to join by promising to bring snacks and jokes to meetups, only later finding she had a special talent for tiny landscaping. This is her first group diorama, having not done one since helping her grown kids in school, but it won't be the last!
