Through her paintings, prints, photography, and mixed media, Elaine explores the juxtaposition of the urban and natural through painting, and her jarring, bright, and unique pieces make a statement in many Indiewalls restaurants and hotel projects.   ![NocheDiablos_Elaine Defibaugh_600px](https://blog.indiewalls.com/hs-fs/hubfs/NocheDiablos_Elaine%20Defibaugh_600px.jpg?width=600&name=NocheDiablos_Elaine%20Defibaugh_600px.jpg) See Elaine Defibaugh’s catalog of work [here](https://www.indiewalls.com/artist/elaine-defibaugh/7f8c9aaa01c848f798c6342372013125?page=1).   ##### [**Adam Greenfader**](https://www.indiewalls.com/artist/adam-greenfader/c3381841c4124eea90ebfcb1f1368bb2?page=1) **Photography & Mixed Media** [Adam Greenfader](https://www.indiewalls.com/artist/adam-greenfader/c3381841c4124eea90ebfcb1f1368bb2?page=1) was born into the vibrant culture of Mexico City, later studying  photography and exhibiting his first collection in 1983, titled “Reflections of Venice.” Reflection is a prevailing theme in Adam’s body of work, which explores the relationship between architecture and environment.
