Originally from Los Angeles. I've moved around my entire life and during Covid was when I found my love of art again. I decided to take the leap to move up to San Francisco and to finish my degree in Art and Art History after a near death experience.

Kat is a queer, neurodivergent magpie punk artist who turns creative reuse into catharsis. Inspired by pop art, punk rock, and science, she works with whatever materials she can scavenge—junk or traditional—crafting bold, offbeat pieces with heart. Her style is simple, her ideas delightfully strange, and her process unapologetically instinctive.
Lulu is a self-taught digital artist who’s been drawing since age 11. She creates imaginative, world-building art and is currently exploring color theory and animation. Lulu uses tools like Procreate, Photoshop, Illustrator, Clip Studio Paint, and Paint Tool SAI. By day, she works as a software engineer at Meta.
Mona’s passion is creating artwork that enhances and expands the world we live in—whether through mythical creatures, characters, or conceptual products that amplify life’s experiences. She has experience in conceptual, fine, and applied arts across both 2D and 3D mediums. In fine art, she works with oil and acrylic on canvas and wood panels, as well as clay sculptures. Her digital skills include Adobe Suite for 2D illustration and graphic design, and 3D modeling and rendering using Zbrush, Rhino 3D, and Keyshot.

Grounded in intuition, their art reflects a diverse background and global experiences, capturing the richness of life. Navigating their identity as an Asian American and global citizen, Nicole blends surrealism and abstract expressionism to explore interconnectedness in everyday moments.
With a palette reflecting ephemerality in bold strokes and vibrant hues, , Nicole's creations invite viewers on a journey through diverse influences. From painting to photography, their work is a genuine reflection and appreciation for the simple yet profound aspects of the complex human experience, making it both accessible and deeply resonant.
