Ryan is a visual artist whose work blends semi-realism pop art with abstract elements, bold colors, and expressive brushstrokes. He studied visual arts in college in 2009 and later worked as a graphic designer for a local streetwear company, where he discovered a passion for branding, logo design, and the fashion industry. In 2013, he created his first acrylic painting on canvas and has continued to refine his practice ever since.

Michelle started as a self-taught artist, using painting as a form of meditation and flow. Over time, her intuitive style evolved from colorful abstracts. In 2020, she trained as an Intentional Creativity Coach, incorporating intention and inquiry into her work. Her current approach, called Medicine Painting, channels meaning and movement into layered, character-rich stories.

From the artist:

This is going to be an epic event of creativity, color, and adrenaline — and I LOVE to see your faces in the crowd cheering me on! Your energy fuels me, and every cheer (and vote 😉) counts.

Johnny, drawing since age 11, began painting 3-4 years ago. He explores outer space and marine life themes with neon and glow-in-the-dark paints. He launched "Smash the Hate," an anti-bullying and anti-violence art campaign, after his cousin's tragic loss to gun violence. Johnny infuses emotion into his portraits and challenges himself publicly, focusing on technique and speed.

From the artist:

Trying something new today, something I have never tried before. I hope you all enjoy it!

Last month I was published for the first time in an international art magazine called Novum Artis.

Ginger is a 24-year-old queer female who enjoys creating art that reflects her passions, her fears, her interests, and simply the art she wants to see in the world. Her art- in whatever form it takes, is one of the best ways she can express herself. When she looks at her art, she doesn't see the actual image sometimes, she sees herself. She sees the essence of her soul in the shading, as corny as that sounds.

From the artist:

Hi All! Super excited to be taking part in this art battle! Art brings me a lot of joy and I hope I can bring some joy to you as well 😊
