I grew up in rural Marydel, Maryland, the youngest of 4. As my siblings became teenagers, I was constantly surrounded by pop culture. All the movies, magazines, CD covers, and music videos opened up a world of creativity I didn't see in my community. I learned color theory, painting, and collaging at Delaware College of Art and Design. As an artist, I've always been drawn to black and white art and loved exploring the gray tones in between. My subjects are primarily people, as I find faces exciting and challenging.
NVSV, pronounced “NASA”, I am an emcee based in Baltimore who is known for his unique production style that he pairs with his reflective and visual word play. Like wine, my artistic expression ages and causes the listener to yearn for something they didn’t know was missing from their lives. From childhood my influences stem from gospel which was always present in the house or car with my mom, Jay Z from my sisters, and from my own discovery of hip hop; lil Wayne and Lupe Fiasco.
Multi-passionate artist, specializing in designing vibrant, eye-catching paper flower installations.

I am a 'Sound of Nature Artist' Jiyeong Yun. The inspiration for this exhibition springs from respect for life. Through my art, it is my goal to communicate the language of nature through sound. If humans respect each other and nature, their actions are likely to be affected. Humans and nature are vital to our existence. Our peaceful coexistence starts from respect. Respect for nature and each other will inspire a positive change in our world. The hope for my art is to transform you into the peaceful sound and beauty of nature.
