Michelle Andrade is an artist currently living and working in Los Angeles, CA. Michelle's drawings and paintings are a journalistic exploration into the everyday sprawl of the mundane.

Raised by a taxonomist, Jocelyn Foye’s work stems from an understanding of this scientific practice of observing and collecting. Currently, She is trying to capture and illustrate how the reoccurrence of every day processes derived from labor produces a fundamental visual pattern. Using at the principles of design and an almost cultural studies approach, aesthetic beauty becomes one of desired outcomes for this work.

Nina Laurinolli was born in Vancouver, Canada, and is an MFA candidate at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles. Her most recent project was the exhibit “What did you just say?” in which two painted depictions of her studio faced off with each other across the exhibition space, leaving the audience caught in the crossfire and thinking about the studio as a site for generating and producing, its relationship to the exhibition space, and the role of their own participation as viewers.
