Born in the Buckeye State of Ohio, I studied Geology at Oberlin College. My father’s interest in photography rubbed off on me, even though I committed an early error by leaving my first camera on an airplane.
During school, I inherited my grandmother’s metalsmithing tools, spawning a career as an award-winning jeweler.
My uncle was a building contractor, which led me to become a designer/builder of energy-efficient homes and an instructor of housebuilding.
I was born in Houston, Texas to an American father and Welsh mother. I became disabled when I was eleven and withdrew into comic books for comfort. I received a BA in visual art from the University of Texas at Dallas in 2013. Drawing inspiration from Botticelli, Caravaggio, and Hans Bellmer, I work primarily in oil painting. I have now expanded my work into comics and illustration, and my work has been published in comics anthologies. All my work has a unifying concern with the representation of women in art and media.

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.
