JACLYN SILVERMAN

Jaclyn Silverman has been an artist since she was a little girl, and began focusing on dotwork/pointillism in 2017. Unlike typical dotwork, which is in black and white, Jaclyn enjoys exploring bright and vivacious color palettes. Calling on color psychology, she aims to use particular color combinations to convey different emotions or evoke certain feelings within the viewer.

GHOST NAVAS

My name is Ghost Navas, I am a painter based in Los Angeles. I am a self taught artist pursuing a higher education in art, while maintaining an ongoing studio practice. While I started my career with commission based projects, I have since been exploring my own creative direction. 

My main fixations are expressions of the human body, and face, which I prefer to render in watercolor or charcoal. I take large figures with “pushed” proportions to enhance the emotions that can be read from the body. I often use my own body as reference for such work due to its often intimate nature

Born in Michigan, Emerson moved to Los Angeles in 2017. He first started painting that same year and has mostly kept his collection private. He strives to create pieces that are felt and experienced, not necessarily understood. He strives to tap into just fragments of a memory or feeling, and will use that one sliver to create a scene, feeling, emotion, or experience.

Illyana Raevonwolff

Illyana Raevonwolff grew up in hell; or at least, a worldly version of it. She has survived and grown ever stronger, in spite of that hell, her late onset schizoaffective disorder, incarcerations, homelessness, and poverty. Her love Evee and daughter Emi are her lights in darkness. In recent years she found her main true paths of filmmaking and art, and is only just beginning to pursue them, having received Associates in each this past June, of 2023.

Carmen Amon- Uriel - 2020

I've been struggling with mental illness for what feels like my entire life. I've been all but diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. These last few months, I've really begun to lean into art therapy and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The pieces I've submitted have so many layers just on one canvas. Whether from creative vision or manic episodes, the story each piece tells, bleeds from a raw part of myself, one I don't share much 

Untitled- Robin B. - 2020

Being someone that is a victim of childhood and adulthood trauma, an E.D. survivor, and a sufferer of various comorbid illnesses, my mental health and my art are inextricably linked. It's both an escape and a way to process what I have gone through, and being able to create art has kept me alive in a very literal sense, almost as long as I've been alive.
