Live Painters

Steven is a traditional painter and digital media artist materialized in Ventura, CA in 1990 and now resides in Santa Cruz, CA.  He created the alias ‘Synchronos’ symbolizing ‘Chronos’ the greek personification of time, in order to embody the synchronous chain of events that draws humanity together and have been apparent in building his art career. Always gravitating towards the shamanistic, mystical, psychedelic and the occult Steven Synchronos ventures to create visual stories that can give meaning to the enigmatic and hidden realms that seem to be beyond what words can convey.  By utilizing the brush and digital drawing tablet he works to unify and connect humanity through the shared experience of  psychedelic and visionary art so that humanity may co-create and manifest a reality of infinite potential and love.

Born and raised in Santa Cruz County, Elliot feels most at home and inspired here. He doodled on just about every paper during school growing up. He attended UCSC, and Cabrillo with an art major, and Academy of Art SF. He began selling custom painted vans in 2003 and custom paintings in 2009 and has been fully self employed painting ever since. He supports himself by selling art full-time through local shops, Instagram, and is often commissioned for custom portraits and murals. He hopes to continue indefinitely and cover all the walls he can get his hands on with beautiful art, and send paintings all around the world.

More artists to be announced soon!

The work of Jake Kobrin is psychedelic, unusual, dark, beautiful, and elegant. His work seeks to illuminate experiences which Jake has had that are outside of the realm of normal waking consciousness, moving into numinous and visionary realms with natural ease. His work explores the interplay of shadow and light, both in the delicate modelling of the forms of his pictures but also in the character of the subjects he portrays, his work showing a willingness to embrace all aspects of emotion from revelation and peace, to fear and disharmony. He considers himself an “interdimensional midwife and conduit” believing that the role of the artist is to be able to move outside of themselves and to act as a conduit for higher consciousness to move through them. In this way he says, “I do not claim authorship for any of the works of art I have painted. I am a channel for Great Spirit to create through me.” He currently divides his time between Ubud, Bali and Nevada City, California and he grew up in San Francisco. He is one of the few psychedelic artists with a formal classical art education, having studied classical realist drawing and painting in Florence, Italy at the Angel Academy of Art. He is also a tattoo artist, and is inspired by the traditional ceremonial contexts that ancient cultures held around tattooing. He is honoured to bring people through the ancient rite of passage of being tattooed in a way that is intentional and reverent. Besides painting and tattooing, Jake is also the founder and designer of a jewelry and fashion brand called Medicine Dragon Designs, and is a DJ and musician, as well as a published writer, speaker, and podcaster.

Haley is a sparkle muffin with an otter heart who wants nothing more than to ignite joy and passion in the world through color. Painting is her happy place; a land of rainbows and sunsets and bodacious women. She’ll be gettin’ down, paintbrush in hand, dripping vibrancy and sweating glitter until she dies.

Meesh is a visionary and digital artist who dwells in the mountains of North Lake Tahoe. Her art combines visions from her dreams with intentions to create positive change in the world. Her recent works include acrylic paintings, digital art collages, and repurposing thrifted pieces of art into new treasures.
