Event

The one and only Card Queen, Maryam Sedadi takes us inside the studio live on IG to help us craft one-of-a-kind and personalized cards just in time for Valentine’s Day-a time to celebrate romance, love, and all of the smitten googly-eyed-themed sentiments.

Multi-colored, flickering lights line the streets and homes during the holiday season; mimicking shimmering clusters of stars draping over the night. Christmas bulbs strung together set the mood for the time of year that we have all come to know as Christmas.

On November 12, we hosted ‘IMPACT’ Exhibition at Gong Art Gallery in Newport Beach, CA. ‘IMPACT’ is a curated visual conversation influenced by art from adversity. Featuring 10 international artists, ‘IMPACT’ brings the community together to experience the power and purpose of art. The exhibition, like all of our events, was free to the public, hosted art auctions, and offered complimentary refreshments.

To read about an artist is to gain a deeper appreciation of their work, it allows us to absorb and understand the mystery behind their creativity. During our IG Live Studio Session, we get a glimpse into the mind of NYC Artist and Muralist, JD who started using art as an outlet to unleash the intensity of his imagination, a cathartic release to transform the intrusive ruminations of thought into a tangible aesthetic medium thereby making the invisible visible, a therapeutic approach in creating a welcoming reflection of his inner mind.
