Kalani Ware is a visual artist from the Bay Area (Oakland). His work is influenced by society, the urban neighborhoods of the Bay Area and his roots of the beautiful islands of Hawai'i. Primarily focused in graphic design, Kalani has been making a name for himself as a artist in the Bay Area and around the world. Kalani has always been influenced by the street art culture and is fairly new to the mural scene, but has a lot to offer to the art world.
Kalani's abstract work is a representation of the world inside and around him, a collaboration of colors and textures that manipulate emotions and how we deal with them.

Eugenia Loli is a filmmaker and a modern vintage collage artist. Before art took over her life, she was in the technology sector. She is originally from Greece, but has lived in California for many years.
It's important for her to "say" something with her artwork, so the vast majority of her work has a meaning behind it. She does this by presenting a "narrative" scene in her collages; there is something bigger going on than what's merely depicted. Sometimes the scene is witty or sarcastic, sometimes it's horrific with a sense of danger or urgency, some times it's chill. She leaves it to the viewer's imagination to fill in the blanks of the story plot.

Michael Tunk takes photographs and magazines from the 1800’s-1980’s and re-contextualizes them into something beautiful. He takes refused detritus and spins a yarn of gold. He takes the weight from a hoarders home and fixes it into aesthetic candy. His pieces are never photoshopped, he uses only Xacto blades and what’s left of the bones in his wrists. Buy now before carpel tunnel grinds his hands to an octogenarian pugilist’s paws.
