Cassidy Barnes
Cassidy Barnes is an actor and visual artist hailing from Portland, Oregon. Mostly self-taught; he possesses minimal formal training, having only taken a few college-level art classes during high school. Despite his intense dedication to acting, art has always been a constant presence in his life, allowing him to explore photography, painting, sculpture, and collage. He describes his creations as often humorous and somewhat kitschy, blending elements of glam, pop, grunge, and wit. While some works may carry profound messages, they are always characterized by vibrant colors and a playful use of glitter. In his studio, Cassidy embraces and celebrates daydreaming, allowing his ideas to flow organically without a strict plan. Each piece he creates evolves naturally, reflecting his instincts and the essence of living art.


Jemar Michael is an abstract artist who originates from Minneapolis,MN. Graduating from Saint Paul Conservatory in 2009, he first came to Los Angeles for acting in which Jemar had some successes in Hollywood. With acting slowing down, Jemar now focuses the majority of his time creating art.
His process is mostly focused on intuition and imperfection. Growing up with perfectionism tendencies, the imperfections and ‘no rules mindset’ allows Jemar to break away from those old tendencies and express himself freely in a way that transcends his day to day life into something more pleasurable. “Art is an ode to my younger self who never got to make mistakes with ease.”
Jemar creates works that are color focused while keeping an element of organized chaos. Each piece is seen as a journal entry into his subconscious.
Tyler Mishá
Tyler Mishá is a Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary artist known for her vibrant signature style. With a flair for bright colors and bold shapes, she creates art that i vivid and full of life. Her dynamic approach to art shines through in the unique personality of each piece.


Nestor Toro
American artist Nestor Toro (b. 1976) is a professional, independent abstract painter. His internationally collected abstract art can be found in private collections across five continents and over 30 countries. The value of Nestor’s art has doubled in the past year, making him one of the most sought-after contemporary abstract expressionist artists.
His love of nature fuels his unique, expressive, gestural painting style, often compared to Pollock’s technique of painting with the canvas on the studio floor. Nestor’s bold color palette, featuring unexpected choices that organically combine, creates an emotional connection with viewers, often evoking memories.
Nestor’s desire to experience the world has been the most significant influence on both his life and art. Always drawn to travel, he wanted to explore the vastness of the world and experience the adventures he knew existed beyond the small tropical island he called home. At 18, he left the island to attend college on the mainland, pursuing his love of travel. His education and work in the travel industry allowed him to visit over 20 countries, exposing him to diverse cultures and granting him a global perspective that most people do not have.
He has lived in Miami and Los Angeles and has spent extended periods living outside of the United States. This includes a year in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and most recently, six years (2006–2012) in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was during his time in Buenos Aires that his creative inspiration was fully ignited. He was fueled by the vibrant and rich culture juxtaposed with the extremes of wealth, manic chaos, and abject poverty, which coexist side by side. In this unique environment, his first paintings were created and evolved.
Lana Shmulevich
As an immigrant, Lana Shmulevich is constantly on a journey to find a sense of belonging and placement. To enrich this experience, Lana experiments with various mediums, capturing moments that might otherwise be overlooked or dismissed as coincidental. Through her art, she aims to connect with others by offering new perspectives on the world around her, creating a universal language that speaks to all. Living in L.A. has greatly influenced Lana Shmulevich’s growth as an artist, inspiring her to showcase how each person leaves their own mark on the city, for better or worse. She sees herself as a seed breaking through the cracks of cement, a reflection of how the urban landscape shapes both her and her work. What fuels Lana’s passion is the ability to see things for what they represent, while suggesting new meanings and interpretations through her art.
