Sobia Shuaib
Pakistani-Canadian-American Female Contemporary Artist based in Seattle
"Sobia is a contemporary artist with work focusing on the emotional and physical entity of people and nature. She enjoys playing with colors to get across the meaning in each work.
Born and raised in Pakistan, she grew up in a culture where art was considered a hobby, not a profession. So while she worked on portraits and figures in her free time, her formal studies focused on business and finance. She credits watching her father painting in his free time as her foundation in painting.
Sobia’s artwork is a play of colors and design which incorporates detailed realism and a flair of whimsy. She continues to experiment in her work, which can be seen evolving through her different pieces.
She hopes to continue to create and to engage others in her journey of discovery."

Maya Milton Artist Statement:
"I am a Seattle Artist, but first and foremost I am a black woman. I create art because it is my favorite form of communication, self expression, and activism. My goal is to make art committed to creating a space that enables Black girls and women to imagine a life beyond the confining structures in which we currently live. Challenging the societal devaluation of black woman and placing them in the highest position possible. While also creating art that gravitates to a more profound version of what true peace looks like. Using elements of nature, spirituality, the universe, and a style that has hints of Pop Art and Afro-surrealism, I place us in God-like position and show how truly beautiful and powerful we are."

Brimming with positivity,
You were full of dreams.
You never knew how one incident shook you.
How it took you.
But it doesn't define you.

ARI GLASS
"Behold! Ari Glass ( b. Seattle on September 7th, 1988 ) is a renowned multidisciplinary artist.
Coming from South Seattle, one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the US, Ari is
inspired by the amalgamation of dierent cultures from around the world.
The artistic style that best describes his work is Solar: the golden light of the Sun is the
creative power that unites life on Earth. In his artwork, he uses gold as his primary medium,
the element that has represented the Sun, royalty, and divinity since time immemorial. The
ethereal essence of gold has the power to transgure images, conveying a sacred quality
and harmony. Ari uses his knowledge of art history in unison with his personal style to
create unique compositions that serve as a bridge between the past and the present. His
work vitalizes the idea that everyone is a sovereign ruler in their own kingdom, empower-
ing the artist and the viewer. Through vivid color, gilding, and philosophy Ari’s goal as an
artist is to shine the solar power to the people — uplifting and uniting them with radiant
self-realization.
As a self-taught artist Ari wishes to share how art can have a positive eect on people in
Seattle and the world right now. Today, his work is displayed across Seattle as permanent
art installations, murals, exhibitions and clothing. He has been creating artwork his whole
life and will never quit." -Artist Statement
