Participating artists:

Bianca Petti is a Connecticut-born artist with a passion for painting and drawing. She earned a bachelor's degree in Art and Design from Alfred University in upstate New York, focusing on painting and photography. Bianca's work explores movement, intersection, connection, and bright, energetic colors through an intuitive approach to art-making. Her art reflects her upbringing in New Haven, and has been featured in exhibitions throughout the United States.

Alison Cofrancesco is a talented artist who grew up in New Haven and graduated from Trinity College's Studio Arts Program with a specialization in painting and digital art. Her thought-provoking still life pieces delve into the complex meanings of objects, accumulation, and trash. Her cityscapes, which frequently feature the New Haven area, examine the history of the region and explore the idea of visual noise in the constructed environment.

Anastasia Mastilovic was born in Moscow and raised in New York. Her art is influenced by childhood visits to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Met Cloisters, often featuring symbols of Christianity, love, and death. Anastasia's work blends fantasy and reality and has been exhibited in galleries across the United States, Great Britain, Turkey, and Russia. Her recent paintings incorporate bright neon colors as a way to heal mental wounds from traumatic experiences, such as the war in Ukraine.

Jessica Brown, born and raised in Conneticut, is a mixed-media artist who creates works with the intention of touching the hearts and lives of all who encounter them. She draws inspiration from beetles, which symbolize strength, endurance, and perseverance in the face of adversity and change. While printmaking is a current focus of hers, she also incorporates other types of media, such as photography, into her works. Jessica's love of learning and pursuit of knowledge has led her to break through the barriers between mediums, making her the mixed-media artist she is today.
