Julie Arroyo
"My love of art began in Philadelphia when my folks enrolled me in a summer class at the age of 6. We werebeing taught about oil pastels that year. I remember feeling very inadequate (big word for a 6 year old, huh?) since I was so young and inexperienced, but I absolutely loved playing with the pastels. I went into my own world, ignoring what the teacher was showing us, and just made picture after picture until my parents picked me up at the end of class.."

Brady Willmott
Creating imagery that inspires the imagination, coupled with classic painting techniques, Brady Willmott's unique twist on pop surrealism leaves a lasting impression.
Willmott paints in oils and is based in Carlsbad, California. Born and raised in Vermont and having lived several years in the mountains of Colorado before relocating to Southern California in 2003, his connection to the ocean and nostalgia for the mountains are evident in his work. A strong imagination, dry sense of humor and successful career as a tattoo artist also play a role.
A strong focus in art helped Willmott complete high school and led him to earn his BFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 1998.

Jennifer Anichowski
My paintings would best be described as dreamscapes, images from reality in an un-real situation or environment. Like a stand mirror that is growing roots into dry desert ground or a widow to daylight in a night sky. My paintings are unique, though my style is influenced by artists like Salvador Dali and Michael Parks. I choose to use mostly oil paints because of their ability to have a depth and saturation of color that I feel captures my subjects the best. I love having the ability to work with colors that I can continually manipulate until I feel they are right. My artworks express...

Noor Salaita
Noor Salaita was born in Escondido, California and has spent all her life up to now in the area. She works in acrylic paint, graphite, and straight out the camera photography. Her love of art resurfaced in her first year of community college thanks to the support of a professor who had an impact on her. His influence was great enough it grew her desire to work professionally in the arts. Anatomy has always been an interest, so after one figure drawing class she chose to stick with a focus on figurative drawings and paintings as well as hands in her works. Finding different and unique ways to crop figures in her art has become her focus in portraits. The complexity of hands and the variety of ways this can be illustrated in graphite and acrylic drew her to continue illustrating them in her works. Her photography focuses upon finding creative ways to play with lighting and surroundings in portraiture without the use of any post processing.

Claudia Nocke
My paintings and illustrations of wildlife and pets come from my deep love for animals and art.
I was born and raised in Germany, studied biology in England, and have traveled to and lived in many unique places with incredible wildlife. Through my work as a wildlife biologist, I have been able to observe up close and even handle most of the animals I feature in my art. Intimately knowing these animals has allowed me to see and capture expressions and personalities.
One of my goals as a wildlife artist is to help people make a connection and inspire them to learn more about wild animals and their habitats. I believe that people can coexist with wildlife, even in urban areas. By learning more about wildlife, we can become better stewards of nature and help protect wildlife and wildlands for future generations. My paintings have been used in various publications. My favorite is, of course, the book ?A Guide to the Carnivores of Central America,? which I co-wrote with my husband, Carlos de la Rosa.
My paintings and illustrations have helped promote organizations ranging from conservation projects to wildlife rehabilitation and animal care facilities.
Most of my work is done in watercolor, oil, encaustic, or graphite.
If you are interested in my art, please check out my website claudianocke.com Or contact me via email: art@claudia-nocke.com

Escondido Music and Art Company
Established as The San Diego Music And Art Cooperative in 2014, SDMAAC was founded by piano instructor and composer Mathew Rakers as a response to both working in and managing various music and art studios throughout San Diego. He observed that many studios were functioning in a top heavy manner, with a limited amount of services being provided to the musicians and artists that were keeping the businesses running. Students were frequently being taught long term by undisciplined instructors that did not stress a functional music comprehension, and were therefore locking students into a cycle of beginner to intermediate ability. There were a number of parallel issues that independent musicians and artists were facing, and there was an opportunity in improving the situation for all parties in the form of a business that would improve the available infrastructures.
The ability to create is an essential part of the human experience, and not something that should be stifled by poor instruction, monetary gain, or institutional preservation.
Over the last eight years, SDMAAC has worked to address these issues by providing creative work space to instructor projects in combination with a number of other services and partnerships ranging from booking to discounted recording and everything in between. This is done while keeping prices affordable to families and providing access points to creative professionals. There is a culture of practice, creativity, and transparency that is emulated by the individuals that make up SDMAAC.
The potential of students is respected and nurtured in a productive environment while the hard work of the families and individuals that comprise the clientele is respected by continuous study on the part of the instructors.
The studio is proud to have an increasing amount of children under the age of ten that are working through advanced repertoire of composers such as Bach, Chopin, Debussy, Grieg, Schumann, Bartok, Mozart, Beethoven. There is also a maturing student base of older students that are accomplishing larger and larger pieces, both in performance and composition. We have now nurtured and helped a number of students pursue the arts in higher education and careers.
The studio is also proud to have a growing group of developing art students that are producing a diverse body of work. There have been thousands of pieces created by students over the past 6 years.
August, 2022, marks the 8 year anniversary of SDMAAC, and the studio looks forward to continuing to grow and build relationships with the community of San Diego while improving the situation for hardworking musicians and artists.
SDMAAC has a wall space exhibiting local artists as well as a piano where musicians often play during receptions and other select events. Musicians also play during 2nd Saturday events on occasion.

DAVID FRIEDMAN
I grew up in Encinitas, Ca. submerged in the heart of skateboard culture, and was heavily influenced by skate and punk art. I began taking drawing and painting classes at San Dieguito Academy (SDA) , where I experimented with a variety of mediums. But these days, I work primarily freehand with micron pens. I have created record cover art for various musicians in the SD/LA area and a ski/snowboard design for Deviation USA.
I spent a few years in the Bay Area, where I studied Geography w/ a focus in Environmental Studies at San Francisco State University (SFSU) and some of the concepts and theories I learned in that program can be seen in my work, particularly the concept of interconnectedness. Years in the mountains in Tahoe, also influenced my work a lot.
I believe that art should catch your attention from afar, but get more interesting as you get closer to it.

Astha Saini
Astha is a local San Diego based artist, born and raised in India. She has seen diversity and elegance in abundance, and her art revolves around the paradox that life creates and juxtaposes on each of us. She thinks it is significant and overwhelming to realize our dreams changing and growing while we bask in the present. We all in some way, silently keep living with the parallel culture and sub culture that ignites our mind and our soul.
Parallel lines, ignite her!
Professionally trained as a Lighting designer, she best engages with herself through lines in motion. Her art begins with words, and ends in lines. Her line work is narrative and thoughtful. It tells a story. It is an extension of herself into another realm, where she is more aware of herself and others.

This is evident in Roy?s wildlife box set of 5 books releasing later this year.
In conclusion, a quote from the author of the foreword of Roy Zetisky?s box set of 5 books, feng shui specialist, Melissa Yamaguchi, co-founder of the Mariel Hemingway Foundation: ?Roy Zetisky's photography beautifully captures the essence of the greater whole. He offers a visual invitation to experience nature's tranquility. Through his lens, the wilderness becomes more than a distant spectacle - it is a relatable, soothing presence that speaks to the soul. His images exude a calming simplicity, grounding viewers in the stillness and peace that only nature can offer. Roy's work serves as a gentle reminder that in reconnecting with the natural world, we rediscover a part of ourselves, calming our spirit in the process.?

She has lived all her life all over Southern California, where she had been surrounded by the diverse scenery, cultures, people and sub-cultures throughout the year in the Southern California area.

In the early 90's she began a career in graphic design and marketing which had been successful during that period of time. She flourished with creating logos all the way to textile design for various markets, but soon became unfulfilled creatively and needed more creativity in her life and was unable to create everything that buzzed in her head.

Emmanuel Koffi
Emmanuel is a medium whose painting abilities were awakened during the chaos and trauma of the pandemic, due to his own spiritual awakening. Emmanuel never received any formal training in the fine arts. Emmanuel channels the great majority of his paintings as an expression of the spiritual evolution he is experiencing. Subjects vary from people, landscapes, still life, to deities and sacred geometry. Emmanuel's painting mediums are: acrylic on fabric canvas and digital art.

Jessica Dalit
Jessica Dalit-Graphic Artist & Illustrator
Based in San Diego, Jessica Dalit is a graphic artist with a passion for blending digital creativity with traditional artistry. Originally from South Carolina, her love for art began at the age of five, inspired by anime classics like Sailor Moon and Inuyasha. Alongside anime, she was heavily influenced by the bold styles and expressive storytelling of 90s cartoons, including Looney Tunes, Cow & Chicken, Rugrats and Doug. Captivated by the animation and graphics, she would spend hours redrawing her favorite characters, unknowingly laying the foundation for her artistic journey.
As her creativity expanded, she found herself drawn to digital art and design, leading her to explore new ways of bringing visuals to life. This path naturally led to a career in graphic design, where she now specializes in digital creative work, including paid advertising, motion graphics (animations, GIFs, arena signage), large-scale murals, branding for sports/community partnerships and retail.
In 2017, she began working at Distinction Gallery as their lead graphic artist for Melissa Walker, creating compelling exhibition promotions, magazine ads, vinyl signage and aiding in other branding ventures throughout the gallery. Her work there also includes creating the branding for Last Spot, Escondido's first art bar, as well as the branding for two escape rooms located inside the gallery. Being immersed in such an artistic environment reignited her inspiration. That same year, she participated in her first social media challenge, Inktober, which sparked a daily drawing habit and led her to soon participate in monthly exhibits in local galleries, breweries and restaurants.
While art is a major part of her life, Jessica prefers to keep it as a passion rather than a pressure. By allowing creativity to remain a personal and enjoyable outlet instead of a chore, she maintains a genuine love for her craft. Her work incorporates mixed media, acrylic, watercolor, colored pencil, pen, and charcoal, balancing structure with an organic, free-flowing style.
Outside of art, Jessica enjoys weightlifting, jogging, hiking, beach days and spending time traveling with her Husband, especially to Mexico. With a deep appreciation for life's small, often overlooked moments, she balances ambition with a laid-back, humble approach to both creativity and life.
