Our Members
Carla Golder
The focus of my art is the impact of the African Diaspora and how Black women struggle to overcome oppression and become empowered. The African word Sankofa best expresses the guiding force behind my work: which is to retrieve wisdom that has been lost or taken away, in order to reclaim, revive, and reshape it as we move forward to achieve our full potential.

LR (Lynne-Rachel) Altman uses a variety of materials and methods including hot and kiln fired glass, installation, painting and sculpture. With a background in public art, social practice, and design, she considers herself a “709.2 Artist," the Dewey decimal system for artists who cannot be categorized.
Michael Sacramento
Michael’s collaged paintings are created with fragments of images, objects, textures and colors that are inspired by his day to day observations. The process of collecting and finding inspiration from these visual cues, then using them to create a new visual experience, is his choice of intuitive self expression.

Rebecca Silvers
Website | Instagram
Rebecca Silvers’ paintings invite the viewer to delve into the depths of her abstract worlds. Her works on paper and wooden panels are characterized by bold color palettes, organic shapes, and a deliberate, layered approach. Through this methodical process, Silvers creates compositions that evoke both movement and tranquility.
Josh Stein
My work creates unexpected moments of precariousness. I use metallic, iridescent, and fluorescent acrylics, textures that lift the paint from the canvas, and a variety of hot glues which add dimensionality to the surfaces.
Grant Peng
Grant Peng was born in northern China. His adolescence coincided with the Chinese Cultural Revolution. He never went to middle school or high school – Mao Zedong shut down the entire country’s education system. Instead, fascinated by Western art, Peng taught himself to paint.

Matthew Felix Sun

Matthew Felix Sun depicts life frankly and critically, as visual surfaces and interior qualities. In recent years, he has moved away from purely representational work, leaning into shifts of pattern, color, tone, and shape. He tends toward a limited palette and records the world in a muted light; yet sometimes uses more vibrant colors to express enhanced emotions, or allows more exuberant colors to generate a dimension of visual excitement, acknowledging that joy remains, however grim the world may be.
Rosemary Morrison
Translating the world around me on to a canvas is a passion of mine, specifically exploring textures and colors that I have observed in the natural world. I love finding new ways of interpreting my surroundings and recording what I have seen.
Mary Patterson
My work is optimistic, colorful, mostly humorous, adding touch melancholic mood at times, evocative of themes both childlike and adult. My animal characters and their environments, interiors and exteriors represent story and slices of life.
Pixi
fleshdweller.com | Instagram
Pixie (they/he) is a trans, filipinx first gen artist, who grew up in Japan & Southern California, and now resides in Oakland. Pixie’s work traverses many different realms of selfhood, gender, memory, and the ineffable magic of the mundane; creation as a invite to the innards of their world, in hopes it serves as a warm mirror for yours. His world is molded with ambiguous yet familiar creatures, bodies, and forms, which pull you into a strangely cozy, liminal ether; a soft hum.
Swilk

The spider makes their home over and over. When it's destroyed, the spider rebuilds. I spend years on my home to make my belonging permanent. I waste my effort; home is not a place, it is an emotion. The spider masters this emotion with the web, using it as an object to connect them to any world they occupy.
