Meet the Artists
Althea Solis
Althea J Solis, otherwise known as Tay, is an Oakland-based artist, writer, and software developer who work spans disciplines but settles primarily in science fiction comics and graphic novels. He received his BA in Art Practice at Stanford with a minor in creative writing and extensive coursework in literature, psychology, and philosophy and has been featured in We’re Still Here: An All-Trans Comics Anthology, which won the Ignatz Award for Best Anthology in 2019, and Queer as Fuck! at Bindlestiff Studios in San Francisco. His work in speculative science fiction explores the possibilities of both the near and far future and how technology and culture can either hurt or heal injustice, trauma, and oppression.
Inspired by the juncture of human experience and rapidly evolving technology, his work plays in the realm of the emotional, the messy, the nuanced, the forgotten — the spaces that polished chrome and glittering holograms leave behind.
Gloria Cartwright
Gloria is an Oakland native who grew up with visual arts at the forefront of her experience. As a child in the foster care system, art was a way for her to mentally escape the turmoil and connect with her biological mother who she'd see on rare occasions but every occasion would involve a coloring book. Her passions grew as she was accepted to Oakland School for the Arts emphasizing in the Visual Arts in high school. She has more recently become passionate about painting with acrylics and watercolor doing mostly portraits and abstract mandala pieces.
Her hope is to share the healing power of art with the world and help heal others through art, whether the Creator or the viewer. She believes in the use of art for meditation using mandalas, and pieces with personal elements that can evoke a sense of peace or comfort. Also using colors, shapes, patterns, and elements that trigger positive emotions for the viewer as a therapy and healing.

DEPORTEDARTIST
Javier Salazar Rojas
Javier Salazar Rojas goes by the artist name DEPORTEDARTIST, was born in Tijuana Mexico but came to Oakland Ca, when he was 7 months old. Raised in East Oakland he came to be incarcerated at the age of 24 and deported at 35 years old. If you had to describe his style it would be realism and his mediums are acrylics, oleo's and aerosols. Javier has been living in Tijuana for the last 5 years now and he draws his inspiration from his culture, the world around him and from his own life struggles.
"People say I am self-taught but I like to think that life has been my biggest teacher. As an artist I try to raise awareness to the plight of our people and give a voice to the unheard."
Hijas Del Maiz will be selling Javier's work on his behalf.
