About the Artists:
Sydell Lewis is an abstract artist that conveys organic chemistry and movement in her work. Expressive texture and color share her vision and experience of the positive side of life. A balance of precision and gesture may be found in her paintings and prints. Ms. Lewis has exhibited extensively throughout her career as an artist. She also has a background in biological sciences as a chemist and professional dancer, which is keenly observable in her artistic style and approach. You won’t need a magnifying glass to appreciate her contributions in the arts, but we do recommend you bring your dance shoes to keep up with her. See Sydell’s website for more information. https://www.sydellart.com
Susan Kraft is a prominent painter and Director in Northern California’s art scene. Susan has lead teams of artists professionally for over a decade in her own Gallery and as a host on her Talk Art TV show. Her work has been collected all over the world and the long list of impressive distinctions, awards, and accomplishments points to a women driven by a lot more than her exceptional talents as a painter. Her recent work carried a powerful message about inequalities women face on the planet and she struck the cord earlier schools or artists touched on about breaking away from conventions that restrict or attempt to limit and control by force. Her artistic statement about human suffering that may be lifted by removing complex layers of oppression has won her new audiences in the Middle East and at home in the U.S. This risk taker confronts audiences to examine deep questions about ourselves and the evolution of expression both at work and at play. Interestingly, Susan channels her creativity into facilitating the story of others. Susan is self-actualized and has mastered several styles in the arts including impressionism and abstract schools. About her technical skills as an artist, Rob suggests, “Susan is at the top of her class. If history gets it right, she will be remembered as one of the greats.” https://www.kraftart.com
Raquel Grey Sturges decided four years ago she would become an artist. She was recruited in 2014 by Plumatorium Art Gallerywhen Rob spotted her on Instagram. Her style shows a mastery of line art drawing combined with a love for nature, her subject matter. Her youthful content will be developed into books for youth in the near future. Her rates are competitive with slave labor in China, so we have no excuse, but to support her heavily as she fights her way up the chain as a fine artist. In fact, Rob’s making it a requirement that artists breaking into his camp must support one another by making a significant commitment to each other in making the shows a success. He says, “the principle is simple- we are smarter and more effective in groups.” To critics that think drawing is a dead or lesser art, Rob points to the price tags on MC Esher and Picasso. His message to current collectors is to come get some things you like fast because he plans to buy a lot of her work just to keep it off the market and in collections where the work may be better preserved. coming soon to https://www.artmajeur.com/plumatorium
Cuervo Designs stated by accident. Cuervo was just playing around one day ripping shirts. Perhaps not a common activity, unless you have a sister that wants to look different and a brother that’s creative. Ripped shirts are not a huge stretch from ripped jeans, but the price point is. People are lining up to pay hundreds for his shirts. These are one of a kind pieces torn by a DJ familiar with having people line up around the block to hear his breaking beats. He says, “I barely have time to be a designer, but it’s a special connection with the audience and as long as demand is there, I can rip stuff up.”
Go see DJ Cuervo spin at THE END UP in SF,CA. The club is a mainstay in the dance scenes in SF since the early 80’s. https://www.theendup.com
Monica Michelle makes paintings, writings, and alters photographs. She said, “…art is the ultimate escape. It is the space to make sense of all that doesn't. It is the place to get beyond every day life and find magic.” Understandably, she likes to hang out in that creative space as often as she can. This mom and business owner snatches any spare quiet moment like a pitbull to make art. She drew from the time she could hold a pencil. That was far before she could write stories. Monica is combining her love of story telling and her creative mastery of photography to create a book in the near future. You can see her professional portrait photography at https://www.monicamichelle.com
Rob Jackson is a multimedia artist (painter, musician and researcher). Mr. Jackson is credentialed as an analyst, ontologist, teacher, and legal aide. His contributions are increasing collaborations and security through diverse knowledge, art, and music projects. He paints and plays in multiple bands including Devil’s Wife (alt. rock) and Liquid Skies (experimental ambient). When asked about the title of his band, he said, “a wife is the only one capable of taming a beast- the devil needs some love- love changes everything. Our band is like a direct feed of greater good into the mainstream via an alternative current or maybe we’re just a glitch.” In contrast, his Liquid Skies project is suited more for audiences with tastes for classical, tribal, and healing soundtracks you might find in films or in theatre productions. The Liquid Skies title came from his work with award winning composers Tom and Laurie Reese. Rob also represents artists by selling art and music and offers promotional services. RipStar, his entertainment division, produces events on location and in virtual spaces. Rob recently created “Backline”, which features art that can be worn.
Robert Jackson has spent two decades studying the environment, education, communications, psychology and law. His commitment to social justice is reflected by his career in Labor Workforce development and the development of many community based programs including; Youth Unity Movement, Citizens for Peace and Equilibrium Institute of the Americas (EIA). As an Artist and Director, Robert has created a range of products including fine art, educational books on social justice and environmental issues, psychology, and Workforce Development. Programs directed by Robert have reached over 2 million people and the rate of growth is expanding more rapidly as his recent projects become better known. In his free time, Rob gardens (varieties of cacti, vegetables, flowers, and fruit trees), spends time with his family, paints, sings, and puts on entertaining public events featuring talent from around the world. Recently Rob has been collaborating with many visual artists and musicians all over the world. https://www.ripstar.cfsites.org
Seren Moran - Painter(abstract and impressionism) https://www.serenmoran.com
Leonardo Ferri’s photography presents time and shows emotion in a refreshing and invigorating way. The world portrayed through his lens captures a diverse and inspiring array of subjects, from breathtaking buildings and landscapes- to people. The city-scape photos he is presenting are of particular interest because those images show the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area as one of the wonders of the world. Leonardo lives in Marin County and only recently begun sharing his work. He is gaining many invitations and a strong response from audiences. This is a good time to acquire his work at reasonable prices. View photos at: http://leonardoferriphoto.com
Salvatore Rascati is a surrealist illustrator represented by Rob Jackson. This award-winning artist has over 35 years of experience producing art professionally in painting, sculpture, illustrations, and murals. Salvatore is in prestigious collections all over the world. Mr. Rascati is from New Haven Connecticut and is a decorated VET of the Vietnam era.
CJ Egoz is a pixel manipulator. His achievements as an iphone application artist are striking. Maybe it’s the vivid color, surreal imagery or his fearless expression in his art that grips spectators and collectors. His fans come in all ages to the tune of a million strong. Even app developers are catching on. Recently CJ Egoz realized he needs an agent to help him deal with increasing offers and a growing fan base. Rob Jackson recently sponsored CJ Egoz to help him break out further with increased marketing and additional display opportunities. Interestingly, CJ Egoz sold more than 20 other participating artist during a group summer showcase in San Francisco at Kevin Browns “Live Worms Gallery.”

Leonardo Ferri’s photography presents time and shows emotion in a refreshing and invigorating way. The world portrayed through his lens captures a diverse and inspiring array of subjects, from breathtaking buildings and landscapes- to people. The city-scape photos he is presenting are of particular interest because those images show the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area as one of the wonders of the world. Leonardo lives in Marin County and only recently begun sharing his work. He is gaining many invitations and a strong response from audiences. This is a good time to acquire his work at reasonable prices. View photos at: http://leonardoferriphoto.com
