Check out the bios of this diverse and exciting group!
Robyn Lightwalker is an artist who does lots of art because art is good. Sometimes she paints butts, sometimes she draws animals, sometimes she sculpts faces with holes in them. She aspires to keep doing what she is doing now and keep improving until her hands fall off, then she will learn to paint with her feet!
Hanna Bech’s goal is to turn feelings and visuals into sound portrayals that reach deep into your heart. She writes profoundly emotional music, that somehow always has a touch of whimsy. In 2019, Hanna was recognized as the City of Hamilton’s emerging artist leader in community arts. Sounds like: Regina Spektor, a hopeful Amanda Palmer, Kate Bush
Anthony Haley is a surrealist portrait artist from Hamilton, Ontario. Anthony’s work blends styles of classical portraiture painting, illustration and photo-collage with contemporary street art styles and textures. He’s a human, no need to question that either.
Chris Adeney’s (AKA Wax Mannequin) music veers from scrappy prog oddness and distressed folk to absurdist stadium metal, all with a drunk, dark humour that borders on outright Dadaism. Beneath the unsettling imagery and musical left turns there is a steady questioning of life’s inherent strangeness and his own neuro-divergent experience. He has appeared on thousands of pub, gallery and festival stages worldwide.
Petra Matar is a multidisciplinary artist and architect living and working in Hamilton, Ontario. Petra grew up in Dubai, UAE, where she received a Bachelor of Architecture from The American University of Sharjah in 2011. Since moving to Hamilton in 2011, she has worked with dpai architecture inc. Petra’s visual art is marked by emotionally evocative human form and intuitive free form line work.
Nick Zyla is an artist from Edmonton, Alberta. Highly influenced by Beck and Jack Daniels he now roams southern Ontario clanking the same old chords, and has completed 172 studio albums.
Carolina Gama was raised in Brazil. She is a visual artist who has used collage, textile and video as medium for her confessional and feminist art. Since acquiring a Bachelor degree in Visual Arts in 2005, Carolina has shown her work in Guatemala, Kenya, Brazil, Belgium and Canada while also working with film as a graphic designer, editor and director. After battling breast cancer in 2014, Carolina moved to Canada with the purpose of living in an intentional community, and has focused on using art as a healing tool to express her experiences through diverse media.
Rachel Nolan is a harpist and a human. But she spends most days shoddily disguised as a serious therapist.
