Meet the Artists
Each Cadre artist is selected for their craft, their eye, and the way their work lives in a room. Browse originals, or reach out about a commission.
Laura Petka
University Park, Dallas, TXBefore she ever picked up a brush professionally, Laura spent six years running a Dallas gallery — selecting work, hanging shows, and understanding exactly what makes a piece stop a room. Her canvases are built in heavy-body acrylic, layer by layer, until the surface has real topography. Color is chosen with the same instinct: combinations that feel unexpected until they feel inevitable.
Rachel Nash
University Park, Dallas, TXRachel Nash came to Dallas for SMU, earned a Master of Arts in Art Therapy from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, then came back and opened her own gallery — spending years selecting work and learning exactly what makes a painting hold a room. Her own canvases are oil, abstract, and physical: large-format work built with complementary color and full-body movement, abstract but never remote.
