Vasilina Mikhaylova is an artist and sculptor dedicated to capturing the intricate patterns and unique behaviors of birds in their natural habitats. By characterizing bird watching as a “quiet hunt,” she uses watercolor and ink to mirror the spontaneity and fluid movement of her subjects, translating fleeting outdoor memories into lasting visual forms. Through her expressive work, Vasilina invites viewers to slow down and rediscover the subtle, often-overlooked beauty of the avian world.

Georgia Marutyan lives and creates her work in Los Angeles, CA. She graduated from Pasadena Art Center College of Design in 2015 and moved forward to find her voice. Georgia enjoys exploring different mediums as this allows her to discover new aspects of herself. In recent years, she has focused her creative energy on making large scale punch needle tapestries. To make them, she uses a single punch needle and acrylic yarn on monks cloth. The process is extremely laborious and time consuming, but she enjoys every moment she spends on bringing these pieces to life. Georgia also loves to create intricate drawings with ink pens on toned paper where she brings her magical inner world to life for others to see.
