Melissa considers herself a contemporary painter of livestock, wildlife, wild places, childhood memories, days and places long forgotten. She loves the juxtaposition of images. In doing so, it enables Melissa to give her audience a glimpse into a memory or feeling that resonates with their childhood that they may not get from a single image.

Though primarily a painter working in water-based oils, acrylics, and latex paints, Jason also works in mixed media, assemblage, and conceptual art. He takes a "whatever medium is needed" approach to art, music and food.

Felicia is inspired by 'graffito,' defined as an ancient drawing or writing scratched on a wall or other surface and found throughout the ages. This type of mark making, found in traditional cultural symbols, patterns, and art from around the world is something we all have in common. She works primarily in what she refers to as 'kiln formed graffiti glass,' using tools that are often found, recycled, or handmade to make marks and manipulate glass.

Kiln Formed Graffiti Glass and mixed media artist, Felicia Borges is the creator and volunteer organizer of ‘Second Saturday in Natomas.” She is ready to take on her opponents in this no holds barred, winner takes all, steal cage match! Let’s get ready to rumble!

Mike, travel and art go hand-in-hand. Mike had the privilege to paint live on the Vans Warped Tour from 2010-2012 and to assist Tina Merry in the World Body Paint Festival in Austria (where they won 1st place!). He creates through sketching, painting, sculpture and digital art.

Katie grew up on top of a hill with lots of opportunities to observe, wonder and wander in nature. She has been creating for as long as she can remember in the form of writing, drawing, painting, singing, dancing, acting, and more recently, playing the ukulele and performing spoken word. Her painting has been described as colorful and soulful; like stained glass.

I can’t wait to experience this art battle with all of you! Bring on the creativity!
