Alicia Galindo was born in East Los Angeles and raised in Culver City, California. Both her paternal grandfather and great-grandfather were professional photographers in Mexico City. She works in a wide variety of media – clay, graphite pencil, charcoal, color pencils, pastels, acrylics and occasionally mixed media collage and assemblage. “My work reflects a fascination with pre-Columbian artifacts and the amazing celebration of color and spiritual mysticism that defines traditional Mexican folk art.." |

Amitis Motevalli was born in Tehran, Iran. She received a BA from SFSU in Art with a minor in Women’s studies and an MFA from Claremont Graduate University. Her work as an artist incorporates a combination of near-eastern aesthetic with a western art education. Motevalli states, “Being an immigrant in the US shows in my work a duality of culture, both natural and learned. In all of my work, I create a dialogue that critiques dominant views of oppressed people and culture in general.” Her work in art education is with youth who share a similar duality in vision. |

Angela is an accomplished graphic artist, designer and consultant in publishing. Throughout her life she has created art on a daily basis. The worlds she began creating on paper as a child were the beginnings of a style she has come to call-primitive expressionism; a style she continues to explore in a wide variety of media. Photographic images in the traditional (film) and the digital palette are some of her favorites, but she hasn't limited herself, having used oil, charcoal, pastels, stone, wood and ceramics to broaden her scope. |

"I have been a creator of art, symbols of ancestral echoes since a child in Jamaica. The images I convey symbolize a culmination of these ancestral echoes brought to classical form. They are contemporary, eternal in spirit and stand as praise to our existence --past, present and future." |

Christopher Nolasco is a Filipino-American artist.
"As a Visual Artist, I choose to react to what interests me at a particular time and try my best to create successful art. For me, Art and Life are the same. In order to create a good painting, I must understand the principles (harmony, compositional balance, etc.) of art and design and apply these principles in order to create successful artwork. In my life, I must understand and apply the principles (virtues) of life in order to create and live my life successfully. " |

Christine takes elements of pop art, fine art, and imagination to
create the works that she does. She goes into the fantastical but it is tangible.
As a quintessential Fire Dragon, she is attracted to a limelight,
tempered by prudence. A graduate of a Bachelor of Arts from the
University of California, Santa Barbara in Art Studio and Film Studies
and a valedictorian from ITT-Technical Institute with a Bachelor of
Science in Digital Entertainment and Game Design should be indicative
of her personality in terms of creativity and technicality.

"Born and raised in Malibu, California, my childhood years were spent beachcombing by the edge of the sea. After years of searching on my artistic path, I have found myself once again on the shores beachcombing. Now it is the shores of experience I tread and the treasure is discarded objects once loved, now abandoned. It is a kind of consumer recycling program, where psychologically, all things are considered. It was a collage/assemblage workshop at Otis College of Art and Design where I began to explore a more powerful expression of my inner poetic visions in assemblage constructions."
