Opening the Vault

The artists of Covault are united by a shared passion for the limitless potential of creativity and of course, the art of drawing. Each piece in our diverse collective, regardless of its medium or style, is rooted in the act of mark-making. Currently, our collective consists of seven artists who have been exhibiting as a group at various venues since 2022. We first connected during art classes at the Drawing Studio in Portland, led by Phil Sylvester.
Since then we have expanded our practice to include monthly critique sessions, fostering an environment of continuous growth and collaboration. Our artists come from a wide range of backgrounds, from formal art education to self-taught experiences, and our works span landscapes, narratives, and figurative pieces. While paint is a significant element in our creations, our work fundamentally revolves around expressive mark-making and traditional drawing techniques.
