Jenna Colby
A self-taught artist who was creative in different mediums, Jenna Colby decided to focus on painting three years ago. After growing up in a small city, Colby’s fascination with urban environments was influenced through traveling and the people she observed and met along the way. She prides herself on “giving each moment in time purpose, and creating color.”
Her works are currently shown in galleries throughout the US, and she was featured in the Festival Store in 2012.

Raised by an artist and given free range of experimentation, Jenny Dayton has been making art her whole life. She studied painting and drawing in college, though soon ventured into her own world, blending artwork, music and ‘zines, creating a hybrid that was everyday life. Though she still works in various media, her longtime preference is acrylic on wood.

Jim says: “When my art works, you will feel, think and live for a moment in your heart. Purely with your heart. Not necessarily even with words but with that animal part of you that is more human than the rational part of you.”

John Santerineross
John Santerineross is an American photographer with a background in ceramics and painting. He is considered to be a “neo-symbolist”, an artist that continues or reinterprets the 19th century art movement Symbolism. Like its predecessor, neo-symbolism focuses on the spiritual, the subconscious, and dreams.
His complex aesthetic is derived from a combination of his exposure to Catholicism and Santeria and by his fascination with Greek mythology, world religions and iconography. He was an invited artist at the 2012 Festival.

Visioluxus, aka Elisa Lazo de Valdez, has been creating her own visual realities for over a decade. Her work reflects dark sensuality, mythology, and luxury of form, and is often described as spooky, dream-like and surreal.

She currently lives in Portland, Oregon.
