Special Guest
Amy Nadeen Avila
Amy Nadeen Avila is the independent, multidisciplinary artist behind Studio Nadeen. Inspired by vibrant colors, patterns and texture, Amy infuses these elements to form abstracted and impressionistic compositions. No matter the subject, she strives to portray a balance of realism combined with loose abstraction, where one compliments the other.
