ALLAN PAULOSE
Allan Paulose is a visual artist, curator, and co-founder of Art deCentrale, a creative space dedicated to representing and elevating under-recognized artists. His passion for visual arts began in elementary school, where he won several county-level competitions under the mentorship of his father, veteran artist K. J. Paulose.
With a background in mechanical engineering, design, and business administration, Allan left his corporate career in analytics to pursue his lifelong passion for the arts. He has since collaborated with numerous artists across Northwest Arkansas and internationally, curating exhibitions and fostering creative connections within the community.

CORY CORBETT
Cory Rose Corbett, born in Rogers, Arkansas in 1979, works primarily with porcelain clay, sculpting her forms over an armature before bisque firing them to a luminous white finish. She explores a variety of surface treatments, ranging from paint and glaze to unconventional materials like wood stain—while allowing the clay’s natural character to shine through.
Her most striking works are her human faces, rendered with raw emotion and subtle expression, a notoriously difficult sculptural skill she approaches with instinct rather than formal training. The origins of her practice are as unexpected as they are unstudied, giving her art a singular curiosity and authenticity.

Featured chef: Tommy O’Connor
@tommyoconnor
Tommy, born in Washington state and raised in Texas, found his way to Arkansas in 2015. Growing up in a large family, his passion for food sprung from the dinner table where he and his family would connect each night over a meal prepared by his mom. Soon after arriving in Arkansas, he enrolled in culinary school at Brightwater. While in school, he worked at The Preacher’s Son under Chef Matthew Cooper, where he gained insight into the importance of relationships between small farms and restaurants, and the necessity of local food systems. He then went to work for Rafael Rios at Yeyos, getting a glimpse into the world of Mexican cuisine. After finishing school, he spent some time in Arizona to work with chef Scott Winegard, learning vegetable forward cooking. Once back in Arkansas, he started working as Sous Chef at Heirloom at the 1907 with Chef Jason Paul and Danielle Ribaudo, where his love for hospitality and service grew exponentially. He then went on to Copenhagen to intern at the restaurant Kadeau, where he gained an introduction to new nordic cuisine and preservation. Tommy enjoys cooking seasonal, simple food, presented in a mindful way. He continues to look forward to new experiences, opportunities, and ongoing learning.
