Emile Cantin (@emilecantin_)- Emile Cantin's expressive paintings embody an engaging improvisational process. His work ranges from large scale oil paintings to small works on paper. Cantin's intuitive approach to colour, texture, and form explores the possibilities of art making as a conduit for change. The intense energy that emanates out of each work carries the rhythms and improvisations of jazz music.

Arrington de Dionyso (@arringtondedionyso)- Arrington de Dionyso (b. January 4 1975) wears a faded rainbow colored straw hat while walking through the alleys of Olympia, Washington, followed by crows in daylight and owls at night. With every step he takes, an upside down dragon shadows along toe to toe in parallel motion underneath the ground. His paintings are fermented musical distillate from the blood curdling roar of the Green Lion of the Sun, translated into hieroglyphic mantras of complimentary colors. 

Pablo Delcan (@pablodelcan)- Pablo Delcan is a designer and visual artist known for blending traditional design principles with modern techniques. As a visual contributor to The New York Times, his work often explores themes of human experience, pop culture, and social commentary.

Dominique Garraud (@dominique_garraud)- British abstract artist Dominique Garraud explores themes of the human condition, memory, senses, emotion, loss and vulnerability; drawing inspiration from the unexpected attachments relating to recollection, perception and how these themes intertwine and sit (often uncomfortably) beside each other.
 
Cristina Golovatic (@cristinagolovatic)- Cristina's art is a journey through color and form, guided by intention and chance. It is an invitation to pause, reflect, and connect with the profound beauty that arises when control and spontaneity coexist on the canvas. Through her work, she hopes to offer moments of introspection and emotional resonance, infusing beauty with depth and allowing each viewer to find their own meaning and peace within her abstract pieces.

Cab Kenningale (@cabkenningale)- Cab Kenningale, based in Suffolk, UK, finds inspiration during daily walks with his dog, drawn to the accidental patterns in tarmac, neon utility markings, and discarded plastic shapes. In his studio, he arranges cut-up older works and found images on plywood panels, securing them once the composition feels right. Cab primarily uses industrial materials like gloss paints, plywood, and building adhesives, often painting on unconventional surfaces like drop cloths and tea towels.

Reneesha McCoy (@rnwulf)- Reneesha also known as rnwulf is a self taught North Carolina based Artist. Inspired by the births of her children and journey through motherhood. A principle theme in Reneesha's work is her celebration of the consequence of life and nature in relation to the female body.

In her paintings the impulse to create is brought out by a wide, conscious use of mixed media and composition, which shows the dual nature of her education, both artistic and technical, and her inclination for graphic design.
