I’m excited to compete in art battle - this will be my second time competing! I like to fuse my love of abstract and contemporary art with the appreciation for neon, pop art and surrealism.

Roger Porter

Instagram: rogerjporter

Roger is inspired by the Pacific Northwest but not just nature. Modern buildings play a huge part in the landscape. Nature and man made structures have had to learn to play together in the landscape and this is shown in his art which is done digitally, by painting and drawing./sf

From the artist:

I’m pumped to be a part of this party. Get ready for some amazing art.

Rubaiyet Abedin

Sheeja Puthanhouse

Instagram: @artbysheejamohan

After completing her studies and working as a statistician for several years, Sheeja decided to pursue her passion for art and took up painting full time. She began creating works that were inspired by her surroundings, experiences, and emotions, and over time, her style and techniques evolved./sf

From the artist:

As a statistician turned artist, my journey into the world of art has been an incredible adventure. From my early days, I was always interested in the visual arts, but my academic pursuits took me down a different path. However, my love for art never waned, and I continued to explore and learn more about it.

Matt O'Tousa

Instagram: mattotousa

Matt's work plays with traditional notions of composition and color expression. It tends to explore spaces: what was there already, what of us is there, and what isn't really there at all.

Lately, he's been thinking about doors./sf

From the artist:

Do not mourn the dream when the day comes
