Sadhvi Konchada

Born and raised in India, Sadhvi Konchada is a product designer and freelance illustrator currently living in San Francisco. She moved to the United States in 2014 for a Masters degree in Graphic Design from Savannah College of Art & Design. A wanderer at heart, she’s always seeking, creating and painting stories. Her art mostly portrays women, wilderness and wonder. She believes that inspiration can be found anywhere - the avocado in your kitchen, a phone call with your childhood friend or the smell of rain. The use of soft and warm tones, with splashes of bright colors, detailed patterns and vintage textures define her style. Though she loves experimenting with new materials, her preferred choice of creating is digital. Her art evokes a sense of joy, freedom and adventure - a feeling she hopes to instill in the viewers.

Juliana Lupaccino

Juliana is a native of Savannah, Georgia. She experienced much of her childhood in the downtown historic Savannah district. She eventually graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2017, with a degree in fibers. During her time at SCAD, she explored both pattern development and material exploration through large scale installation work. Throughout her life, she has always been passionate about color, and how it could be explored through methods such as pattern, installation fine art, and now, finger painting. Her unique method of finger painting is both childlike, and expressive. She believes that there lies a sense of freedom when you leave the brush behind. Juliana finds that finger painting brings about unique shapes and texture that a brush would not lend itself to. Whatever she is creating, it is important that the audience gains a feeling of joy when viewing Juliana’s work. Joy is a key element throughout all of her work. She expresses that through color, shape, and scale. Juliana currently works on large scale paintings and murals. Her paintings are colorful, abstract, organic, and adventurous.
Saara Soderlund
I’m Saara Söderlund – a freelance illustrator and a friend of birds from Finland. I’ve been drawing and painting my whole life, but despite this I had no idea it would someday become my career. I went to an art school to study graphic design and kind of forgot about painting for years while I worked as a freelance graphic designer mostly in book publishing field. At some point I started missing painting so I picked it up again and it brought me so much joy I haven’t stopped since – it was clear that it was the path I wanted to follow. I paint my illustrations mainly with gouache, sometimes mixing colored pencil or digital tools into the process. My paintings are rich in detail and often focus on my love of nature and themes of cherishing the nature around us. I also find inspiration from the everyday and very ordinary moments that seem insignificant but are somehow unintentionally precious. My illustrations can be seen for example in books, magazines and paper products.
