Curator :
Alvaro Sanchez, The beauty of the fine art of Alvaro Sanchez is it’s connection to antecedents in modern and contemporary art drawing from influences as much musical as visual recalling and extrapolating upon the work of Dada and Surrealist progenitors as well as the best sentiments and manipulative properties of advertising or Pop Art sensibilities creating a new vocabulary situated somewhere between comedy and horror; the Beats and Punk meet 21st Century technology with a home grown raw, yet refined, finish.
William Jaggers studied art at the San Francisco Art Institute, where he received a degree in painting and printmaking. He studied mainly with Bay Area artists Bruce McGaw and Larry Thomas. They both had a great influence on William.
Akiko Suzuki, Japan, is an award-winning fiber artist whose practice has pioneered the forward movement of the Contemporary Art Quilt. Most recently, in 2015, Akiko was awarded the Quilt Nihon Exhibition's Reiko Sudo Award in Japan.
Carl Heyward is an American contemporary artist, writer and curator who works primarily with mixed media. His paintings and collage work juxtapose diverse imagery to explore ideas of fragmentation.
