(b. Minsk, Belarus) studied Academic Drawing and Painting at the Belarusian State Academy of Art before moving to the United States in 2012. Currently residing in Phoenix, Arizona, she is a final year MFA candidate at Arizona State Univer-sity.
Panco's work seeks to comprehend time: time as change, as duration, and as an all-encompassing reservoir of existence. Panco is interested in memory as a phenome-non that disrupts the linear progression of events and creates alternative spatio-tem-poral patterns and narrative discontinuity. Painting allows her to fragment reality and re-organize it into a dialectical framework, where new perspectives emerge from the colli-sion of disparate visual elements, pieces of the past, and imagined futures.
Panco's work has won numerous awards, including Gayle J Novak & Robert D. Cocke Award in Painting, Arizona Artists Guild Marigold Linton Scholarship, and Herbert Smith Graduate Fellowship. It has been featured in the Washington Post, Fine Art Con-noisseur, and Metropolitan Magazine. Her drawings and paintings have been privately collected throughout the US and are held in the permanent collections of Salisbury Uni-versity and the Galbut Foundation.

is a 29-year-old creature and life long artist from Metro Detroit. They’ve been putting the things in their head on paper for as long as they can remember. The goal of Blue Rei is to express, connect, and share their strange view of this world with others. In all mediums they can. Art itself remains the biggest way to transmute their feelings where they struggle to find words.

is a British multi-media artist who renders surreal depictions of alternate dimensions that seek to engage and activate the unconscious mind of the viewer. My practice, which spans painting, drawing and digital mediums, reflects themes of human perception and psyche, influenced by psychedelic culture. My work encourages the viewer to turn their mind from the fragility of the material world and towards a contemplation of something more stable and infinite. The kaleidoscopic paintings depict a visual realm at once fantastical, foreign and strangely familiar. Three-dimensional, dream-like landscapes composed of fractal shapes and ordered geometric patterns are populated by extra-terrestrial forms: strange humanoids, anthropomorphic machines, animals and plant-life moving purposefully throughout spaces that operate as portals into the personal and psychological.
My work is a vessel for self-exploration and understanding as I examine my past through older eyes.
