Anthony Garcia Sr. – @birdseedanthony

Anthony grew up in the Globeville neighborhood of Denver near 50th and Broadway. As a teen he did graffiti and feels that hanging out with other graffiti artists all over the city eventually lead to his evolution into an artist who now does studio work and murals. He also credits his experiences with the Art Street program for getting him into public art. Anthony is the founder and director of Birdseed Collective, a nonprofit organization that supports young artists and addresses community needs through its food program.

Gemma Danielle – @optimysticism

Weaving a world of surreal dreamscapes and captivating geometry, Gemma conjures a sort of Pythagorean quantum mysticism in her work. She plays with mathematical theory inspired by Torsion Field Physics, Sacred Geometry, and our experience of the many dimensions in Quantum theory.

Painted City: Lauren YoungSmith

Lauren YoungSmith – @lolo.ys

Lauren’s work aims to create and populate a misfit wonderland in which imaginary heroines can address the absurdities of reality in the confines of a page or a wall. Dreams and mythology add to the myriad of influences that stem from her upbringing in Colorado and her time spent at Stanford, writing for Juxtapoz, working at DreamWorks, and teaching English to high schoolers at San Francisco’s 826 Valencia.
