For many years, we’ve introduced you to talented artists who are just beginning their careers in our annual “21 Under 31” feature. But emerging artists aren’t always under 31 years old, so we decided to conduct another nationwide search for artists over the age of 31. In the following pages, you’ll meet the contest winners, learn what inspires them, and find out where you can see more of their work.
