My name is Vibha. I am a self-taught visual artist. Making art has helped me process experiences, deal with grief, and improve mental well-being through creative processes. I’m driven by the intention to heal while creating vibrant, one-of-a-kind art pieces that capture the beauty of the natural world. I’ve experimented with a range of styles, techniques and media, from abstract, landscapes and still life in watercolor and acrylic paintings to mixed media collages and beaded jewelry. My art is not just a creative outlet, but also a source of personal growth and healing. I’m happy to share my work with others and inspire them with the same joy and wonder that art brings me. I’m constantly learning, experimenting, and pushing the boundaries of my creativity, and I’m excited to see where this journey takes me.

I am an acrylic painter that sometimes does oil pastels. I have a great response to my pastels but they take a long time to do so I prefer acrylics which I spend time trying to look like oil paint. I do all subjects. I recreate creation as I don’t think I can improve on what the Creator created for us to enjoy. I paint what makes me see joy and beauty as we need more of that always. Art is a way to express our emotions as is writing. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed painting them.

Hi! My name is Amanda Isabelle Amezcua. I’m currently a graduate student at Portland State University, studying medical history.

I’ve been an artist for as long as I can remember. I do traditional and digital art, and have thought about getting my art out there for a while now, and now I’m finally doing it! Any proceeds will go towards funding my education, and helping me to continue creating art.

I was born in Washington, D.C., raised in Chula Vista, California, and moved to Portland, Oregon back in 2007. Besides a brief year back in DC in 2020, and my four years in Eugene, Oregon to get my Bachelors of Arts in History and Philosophy, Portland has become my hometown.

I’ve worked as a substitute teacher, in various libraries at the reference desk, and despite the various demands of grad school, I still read for fun! Cozy mysteries are one of my favorite genes, and I LOVE Nancy Drew. Day trips to the Oregon coast are my happy place.

Hey there! My name is Allison Van Richter, and I am a water color artist based in Hillsboro, Oregon. My love of pastel colors, interesting figures, and fun shapes is reflected in my artwork. I especially enjoy creating petite artworks that can brighten small, unexpected spaces—these little pieces love finding a new home hanging just above a light switch or tucked into a bare corner next to that thriving monstera plant. This art is best served with a thick, juicy romance novel, a hand knit blanket, and a matcha latte. Enjoy!
