Brandy DuFrene

Born South of New Orleans, in Louisiana’s sleepy bayou country, Brandy developed a deep love of the natural environment. An interest in the grace and beauty of age, life’s imperfections, and an appreciation of the underdog began early on. It has matured into a fascination with all subjects overlooked and neglected.

Although photography was her first interest, illustration and natural dye art have taken center stage.  Inspired by nature and New Orleans’ Live Oaks, She explores movement, strength,  and emotion through the human form.

She creates art in the hopes that it will speak to people of all backgrounds and connect with those in the shadows.  Art can heal, it can inspire, and it can provide advocacy for those who deserve a voice; the real life superheroes whose song is unsung.

Chandra Leming

Self taught artist, and self proclaimed trashwitch, Chandra has been creating art since the dawn of her existence. Currently focused in illustrative and mixed media pieces, employing the use of imagination and recycled materials, each piece is unique in its own right, with the commonality of Chandra's vision for bringing interesting characters and her own vivid thoughts to a visual plane. 

Tugba Tetik

Tugba was born in Turkey. She is a self taught artist. Her art works are mostly digital, she also works on acrylic and charcoal. Tugba’s inspiration is dark themed women portraits with multiple light sources. She loves to work on women portraits with different facial and emotional expressions.

She explores every field of art, she sees human body as a canvas and learns tattooing . Her passion is improving her artistic knowledge to have new visionaries for the future art works.
