Steve Wanna is a multi-disciplinary sound and visual artist whose work includes music, sound design for dance collaborations, sculpture, installation, photography, and works for mixed media. His work showcases the hidden, often ignored beauty he finds in chaotic and seemingly random phenomena. Abstract, experimental, and multimedia, his work is inspired by science, nature, and philosophy, often incorporating elements of controlled randomness—uncertainty is built into the process. Born and raised in Lebanon, he immigrated to the US with his family as a teenager.
I am an amateur photographer based in Southern Maryland. I love showcasing the local Southern Maryland beauty, from barns and wildlife to the hidden abandoned places. I post my favorite work on my instagram account @brialmont_photography, and have had several featured. I also have work exhibited in the St Mary’s Art Council Gallery in Leonardtown, MD.
Photography started out as a hobby to occupy the extra time I had after earning my MBA in 2016. It has become my passion, and I love sharing my work with folks.

Bambi is an artist who uses make-believe to tell the truth, with the deepest respect for irreverence and sticky dance floors. In addition, Bambi is a damn good storyteller, the host at haus of bambi, and the recipient of the Washington Award in dance, btw.
Commissioned by Vogue, The Kennedy Center, The City of Alexandria and the Metal Hearts Cabaret in Boston, Bambi dances the line between the too much and the just enough. (duh)
Beth Caruso works in a variety of media. Much of her artwork depicts aspects of the self and the body in relation to nature. The imagery in Beth’s artwork is bold and puzzling, as it prompts the viewer to continuously re-examine their perceptions in an effort to make meaning.

“This MC is a joy to work with because of the skill level he possesses along with his uncanny skill of being able to write dope lyrics right on the spot. If he lived in NY or California he would be slamming the airwaves with top notch Latin Hip-Hop..no doubt in my mind”

Greetings, I am a visual artist based in Laurel, Maryland.
A graduated from Towson University in 2016 with a BS in Advertising and Art + Design. I have a wide range of mediums from digital to sculpture. I am currently focused on fluid art and oil pastel. I love getting inspiration from women and nature. I like earthy tones and bright pops of color.
Abstract art is such a fun and creative medium that in 2019 I started my own fluid art classes called Paint & Pour. I have hosted at The Remy in New Carrollton, Six Flags in Largo, as well as my own events.
