His paintings bloom with the rounded, flowing forms of his youth—symbols of renewal, regrowth, and a reminder to simply enjoy life. There’s no agenda here—just color, composition, and a whole lot of soul.

Using his signature lyrical style and a retro-muted palette—avocado greens, burnt oranges, and warm browns—Todd invites us into a world where shapes flow, colors hum, and happiness takes the lead.

A resident of the iconic Brewery Arts Colony in Los Angeles, Todd’s work is all about feel-good vibes.

Luna's art asks us to reflect: what is the cost of abandoning our roots? And what strength can we reclaim when we bloom from them?

Raised between Guadalajara and Yakima, Luna paints from a place of reclamation—his work a vibrant defiance of assimilation, homophobia, and colonial erasure.

Inspired by pre-Columbian art and the cultural heritage of Jalisco, Luna breathes ancestral strength into every brushstroke.

Her pieces hum with ancestral energy—animal guardians, sacred trees, shapeshifters, and masks that whisper of other realms.

A former fashion designer turned ceramicist, Vanessa creates from her home studio in Los Angeles, channeling myth into clay and crafting visions that blur the seen and unseen.

In Otherworld, flowers are not just flora, but sentient beings bearing witness to the cycles of life and death, joy and grief.

Rooted in summers spent in her mother’s haunted hometown of Valle de Allende, Chihuahua, Vanessa’s sculptural language invites us to question the boundaries of reality.
