Benjamin is inspired by what is mysterious and not often thought about — the sacred and the natural, both at once. He’s looking to spread his name around and contribute to the growing creative culture.
Brittany Hilliard
Brittany wants to challenge herself and take the opportunity to meet fellow artists. Creating with others feels inspiring and she hopes it will help shift her perspective for new pieces.

She paints abstract art with acrylic, creating vibrant, colorful pieces full of movement, sometimes incorporating zentangles and patterns.

Chelsey also works PRN in a nursing home, extending her creativity to residents through activities.
Freedom Andrew
Freedom Andrew loves making art and meeting new artists. They’ve never been in an art battle, and the experience feels like it would be lovely. They created Conscious Star Pickup, a non‑profit organization focused on cleaning up pollution on the planet and within the mind, body, and soul — a call to be the solution to the pollution.
Jordan Scribner

He loves turning the unsettling into something funny and engaging. A self-taught creative, he also teaches animation and runs his freelance business, Jordan Scribbles LLC. Whether working digitally or getting his hands messy with paint, he’s all about creating art that sticks—and he’s ready to battle.
Julian Turner-Wright
Julian enjoys many things and loves to chat. His friend Mark participates, and that inspired him to get back into his creation bag. In his time, he sketches, learns to draw and shade. He wants to participate because he knows it’ll be fun.
Mark Anthony Davis Jr
Mark has loved drawing since childhood, spending each day sketching whatever came to mind. Over the years, he has seen his skills progress, which continues to motivate him to create more and pursue his passion for art.
Orlandis Ozuna

Simone Sutej
Simone is a 30‑year‑old artist from Houston, TX. Her art meets at the corner of absurdism and expressionism with a magic touch of mixed media. According to Simone, she’s bad with words and great with painting.
Vicente Vega
Vicente is a 35‑year‑old Latino artist living in Omaha, Nebraska. He’s been drawing and painting for as long as he can remember, learning entirely through trial and error. His inspiration comes from his love for his family and for art, often striking like a sudden flash that pushes him to create.
