Diana Delgado (b. 1982) is a painter based in Bronxville, New York. Working primarily in oil paint, Diana's gestural abstract paintings are inflected with accents of representational imagery including architectural elements, and references to childhood such as balloons, ribbons and bows, and Christmas nostalgia. These ornamental items nod to the artist's sense of humor and add levity to the art historical monolith of abstraction. Diana's work is held in private and public collections internationally, and she currently serves on the Board of Directors for Black Ball Projects, a non-profit gallery supporting underexposed artists with mature practices. She holds an MFA from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, and a BFA from Syracuse University.

Mitch Paster (b. 1987) is an Orlando, Florida-based artist who creates abstract photographs that investigate the creative possibilities behind ordinary materials and self-imposed limits. Mitch’s photographs capture atmospheric interactions of color that reference color-field paintings by Marc Rothko, Ad Reinhardt, and Barnett Neuman. Mitch’s photographs are energetic yet meditative spaces that allow the viewer to draw into focus their own form of meaning.
