Cynthia Tran
Cynthia Tran is a first-born Asian-American artist whose work is rooted in storytelling, sensuality, and the exploration of human connection across cultures and time. Shaped by the nuances of never fully fitting into one category or another, her art becomes an amalgamation of emotions, heritage, and lived experiences—an intuitive journey through identity, memory, and sensation.
She is also a mother, fine art photographer, homesteader, and space holder—committed to the healing that happens when we gather, create, and remember together.

Rajani Gowtham Guggilam
Rajani is an artist of Indian origin living in NWA. She has been fascinated by various kinds of art forms since childhood and invested a lot of time learning drawing, painting, music, and dance.
Her works are strongly motivated by the culture, values, and environment in which she was raised, as well as the colors, patterns, and elements of nature that inspire her. Rajani aims to capture the essence of nature's beauty in her paintings, which are often bright and colorful and meant to evoke a sense of energy and happiness.
