Akron’s new artist village is welcoming three local artists to create and display works of art.

Stephen Tomasko is one of those getting a one-month fellowship at the Akron Soul Train. He plans to paint, draw and take photos, including a long-term project to photograph flowers and trees in the area.

“I’m not just really interested in making a document. They are more about storytelling, in a way. In a project like this, the flowering trees of the spring become the characters and the landscape sort of becomes the set, if you will.”

Tomasko will also be hosting a demonstration for his encaustic painting style, which uses molten beeswax with added color for paint.
