Salut! My name is Émilie and I’m a french canadian transplant in SF! I love California and my art is heavily influenced by the artistic and automotive communities here. My work typically features liminal spaces, facets of the automotive, and red circles. Looking forward to battling and good luck to everyone!

Wendy is back! Wendy studied engineering at MIT and is super passionate about sustainability. A lot of her paintings are inspired by nature, and she has sometimes used packaging in her art as a form of recycling. She uses acrylic paint, pouring paint, and oil pastels in her art. She mostly prefers brushes and palette knives, but occasionally use other tools such as forks, foil, and old credit cards.

Mona's passion is creating artwork that enhances the world we live in. From mythical creatures and characters to conceptual products, whatever form of creation that may amplify and expand the experience of our lives.

Jennifer’s creative process begins from obsessive observation of her travels as chaotic pen sketches and captured moments in prose that later become refined instinctual abstractions of form and movement. Some muses that influence Jennifer’s artwork include expressionism, street art, nature, poetry, and social anthropology.

Surprises are in store!

“ It's the eye of the tiger,
it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival,

And the last known survivor stalks
his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye…………. ………of the tiger”

Really looking forward to competing, ready set, paint San Francisco!

YASR is back! YASR says his art is "like 8th grade math teachers on acid trying to draw out their dreams." He is excited about having access to tons of new eyes seeing his work.
