  • Reyna Rivera

    Reyna Rivera is a glass artist originally from San Diego, California that now works and lives in Wrightwood, California. Reyna often draws inspiration from nature rooted from her Indigenous and Hispanic heritage to create highly detailed glass art. At age thirty-three she has been sculpting, blowing and carving glass since 2012. Native Americans, hispanics, and females are underrepresented in glass art currently. Reyna offers a unique perspective and style that the glass art world is lacking. Insta: @Reynasays

  • Karen Godfrey

    A mixed media artist, Intentional Creativity® teacher and SoulCollage® facilitator, I am intrigued and inspired by the raw wild beauty inherent in the great and small wonders of Life itself. I am informed by the vast sensuality of the dynamic energies of the rhythmic seasons and cycles of Nature interconnected with the spiral dance of birth, life, death, and rebirth. I dance with wild muses honoring and conjuring the uncharted images desiring to come forth; unfurling new perspectives and wisdom." insta: @karinghands
