Iris Kwon
Resident Artist
Iris draws with an architect's discipline. Every stem, petal, and filigree is placed with intention — her work ages into thin, exact lines that stay legible for decades.

Dane Rivera
Resident Artist
Bold outlines, saturated color, and a heavy dose of Americana. Dane's pieces feel like they were pulled straight from a mid-century flash sheet — but sharper.

Sena Okafor
Resident Artist
Trained in traditional Japanese composition, Sena thinks in whole panels — how a piece wraps a limb, breathes with the body, and moves when you do.
