Confirmed Competitors
Art Battle Philadelphia
12 confirmed artists
Cara Bucher
Cara draws and paints with whatever materials she can find and works incredibly fast. This summer she started sketching landscapes in Philadelphia parks, usually with blue or black ballpoint pens. Some of her work leans into fantasy, and she loves using negative space so anything can be reworked. Art is fully intuitive for her, shaped by early drawings of cats, trees, dragons, and classmates, and she’s always learning and pushing her own style.
Danielle faison
Danielle’s work is a love letter to women in every stage of becoming. She creates to honor softness, strength, flaws, and survival, especially in moments women are told to hide. Inspired by the raw truth of womanhood—vulnerability, desire, pain, and resilience—she uses expressive forms and unconventional materials to encourage women to see their own beauty, reminding them that wholeness exists long before perfection.
Dean Omikami
Dean is an anime and portrait artist known for conveying deep emotion and expression through bold colors. Her work focuses on capturing the highs and lows of life, emphasizing emotion and character. In addition to her art, Dean is also pursuing tattooing as a new creative path.
Elisa Rose Mignone
Elisa is a 43‑year‑old artist who began sharing her work about three years ago and has shown at four markets, including three Pancakes & Booze events in Philly. She believes art has healing energy and loves creating stickers, bookmarks, prints, and minis, all made by hand and printed through a family shop in Ardmore, PA. Many pieces can be viewed from any direction, and she’s obsessed with faces and eyes.
Elise Wieczerzak
Elise is a Philadelphia‑based artist who blends her love of fitness with her creative practice, using movement and energy to shape the experience of her work. She holds a BFA in painting from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and has since shifted toward more abstract approaches, while still keeping a soft spot for landscapes. She doesn’t limit herself to any medium or subject, letting curiosity guide what she makes.
Gregory Etienne
Gregory is a visual artist blending figurative and abstract styles to explore Caribbean culture, emotion, and everyday resilience. His work captures raw, poetic moments—street vendors, laborers, dreamers—through expressive forms and textured layers, sharing stories that resonate locally and globally.
Kristin Murray
Kristin is a visual artist and educator from the DC area who works with acrylics and spray paint and loves amplifying other artists’ voices through event planning. Her work has been featured at the National Building Museum, the MLK Library in Chinatown, the Charles Sumner School Museum, and more.
Liesa Burdeshaw
Liesa, a watercolor-focused artist, finds daily inspiration in her family and the natural world. She loves exploring traditional art forms, painting flora, fauna, and playful subjects, often capturing the beauty of light and color.
Lily Jeng
Lily is jumping into Art Battle for the first time, but she’s been drawing since she was a kid. She started painting in 2024, began teaching in 2025, and realized along the way that making art makes her happy, lifts people up, and helps her connect with others.
Lynn Alford
Lynn is an ambitious college student with tons of creative hobbies, using art to explore mental health, politics, body‑image, and fandoms. She works mainly in gouache, acrylics, map pencils, and ink markers, leaning into semi‑realism with bold strokes and rough edges. Art is her passion—not her paycheck—and she dreams of writing a book or graphic novel and working in publishing someday.
Sharazar
Sharazar has loved creating art since she was three years old, finding joy in making anything with just pens and notebooks. Pursuing art as a career has been one of her biggest goals, and she enjoys working with alcohol markers, pens, and colored pencils while experimenting with various media. Inspired by fantasy and Japanese culture, Sharazar also enjoys baking and playing video games, especially RPGs, fighting, racing, and party games.
Tysean Moore
GodBodyArtist (GBA) is a Philadelphia based multidisciplinary artist whose work transforms pain into power and survival into sacred expression. Rooted in healing, self
worth, and divine elevation, GBA’s art speaks to trauma affected communities, youth, and anyone reclaiming their purpose. Through bold visuals, symbolism, and raw storytelling, GBA creates pieces that inspire resilience, self-love, and conscious growth art that doesn’t just decorate space, but activates the soul.
