Julia Brevetti is a Toronto-based visual artist known for her bold fusion of pop art and realism.

Her work often draws inspiration from vintage culture, automobiles, and everyday objects reimagined with emotional depth and contemporary edge. Through both her paintings and widely viewed digital content, she continues to build an internationally recognized artistic voice rooted in authenticity, experimentation, and visual impact.

I’m Colie Taylor, a painter and mixed-media artist. I studied studio art, minored in art history and earned a teaching degree at the University of Colorado Boulder, then taught elementary school and completed a Master’s in Literacy Instruction.

Mateo Cañarte-Toro (friends call him Teo) is a photographer from Coral Springs, FL, now based in Miami, with Colombian heritage that fuels his love for storytelling. His style is travel-oriented, moody, and faded, capturing fleeting moments that feel as real as they look. Photography started with a Walmart camera in middle school, grew roots in high school journalism where he learned the fundamentals, and was reborn on the streets of New York. For Teo, every photo is a story waiting to be passed along, the same way his culture has always shared its tales.

Sophia Croasdale is a large-scale abstract artist based in Austin, TX, with a BFA from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Her work explores the interplay of color, illusion, and perception through vibrant hues, gradients, and geometric patterns. Though her compositions often reference the precision of digital spaces, their hand-painted nature reveals slight imperfections—lines that wobble, shapes that drift—bringing a human presence to otherwise structured fields. Influenced by both architecture and organic patterns found in nature, Sophia draws inspiration from tiles, windows, seashells, and water reflections. These sources inform her current body of work centered on echoes—forms resembling ripples or sound waves, each shape reverberating from the last. Gradient transitions enhance a sense of movement, evoking the lingering traces of light, sound, or memory. Through repeated shapes and shifting color relationships, she creates visual rhythms that balance order and chaos. At the heart of her practice is the emotional resonance of color—combinations that spark memory, sensation, and feeling. Her paintings are vibrant yet meditative, inviting viewers into a space where perception blurs between clarity and illusion.

When life slowed down in 2020, I redefined my relationship with art. What began as a way to fill long days soon became a passion project that continues to evolve. Although my paintings aren’t my full-time career, it remains as my constant, creative anchor. Through painting - especially with watercolor - I’ve found connections: with strangers who share stories at art markets, with friends who commission pieces, and with family who remind me why I create. Each piece of art holds gratitude for the ways art continues to bridge my worlds of therapy, creativity, and connection.

I never grew up thinking I could be a full-time artist, so it’d be a lie to say this was always the dream. But now, it’s safe to say it is! I’ve experimented with many mediums and styles, but my background in architecture is what first drew me to intricate ink linework and the structural beauty of buildings. Today,my work is about capturing places and memories, connecting with people through their personal stories, and sharing my own. While being an artist can feel a bit like a solo endeavor, I’ve developed an amazing online community and love knowing that I’ve inspired artists and non-artists alike to pick up a pen and draw.
Philly roots, Southern soul. My art draws from the world around me — people, places, and the pulse of everyday life. Each piece is a reflection of where I’ve been and what moves me now.
