For Samara, art is her happy place. She really enjoys working with different media, drawing, painting, and digital art. She loves how complex art can be and loves that she can incorporate art into crafts as well.

Athena Louscher

Promo Image

Athena uses a myriad of techniques and materials to create. Her art practice is deeply personal because the process of creating is a very intimate affair. Her skillset includes watercolors, acrylic, oil, pastels, charcoal, wood, clay and more. Athena's work includes capturing the human figure, landscapes, surrealism, and pattern.

From the artist:

I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my 16 year old daughter who is currently performing with Seattle Girls Choir to raise money for that amazing organization. I am missing it because she insisted I do this, that we perform this night together doing the things we love knowing we are forever there for each other. I hope my work speaks to this very human experience of the connection between mother and child.

Sean says the audience will witness the crazed scribblings of a mind warped by countless hours of Nickelodeon in the 90s and shattered by art wizards Frazetta, Brom, Elmore and Reynolds. He will delight you through equal parts fantasy and fun. He is most comfortable with pencils, Sharpies (the bolder the better) and acrylic paint.

From the artist:

From the depths of Belltown emerges an artist more gremlin than man!

Come see for yourself, if you dare. Witness the crazed scribblings of a mind warped by countless hours of Nickelodeon in the 90s and shattered by art wizards Frazetta, Brom, Elmore and Reynolds.

Delight as his ink stained fingers bring you equal parts fun and fantasy. Dare we say FUNtasy?!

(Oh, he's into puns too...)

Megan has said the challenge of live painting is a thrill, and getting to know other painters is pure joy. Describing her work as raw and powerfully emotional, Megan’s vibrant paintings feature loads of emotions and gobs of color.

From the artist:

Art battle is a ton of fun to paint with other local artists. It's awesome to see all the people show up in the audience, it's such a rush! Thanks for having me!

Aaron Gardener

Aaron is back! Aaron uses art as therapy and says that she survives this overly intense world by creating a decoding system using color, each interaction having become a colorful abstract piece in her head. She is an oil painter and art teacher by trade whose process and style represent the emotional freedom art can bring.

From the artist:

I survive this overly intense world by creating a decoding system using color. Each interaction I have becomes a colorful abstract piece in my head. Once created, I can access that piece and re-experience emotion with rationality, love, hope and kindness.

My process and style represents the emotional freedom art can bring.
