Lucas Litchfield “At its core, I like to think that my art is about turning something plain and uninteresting into something unexpected and fun. The world needs more fun. My method is largely improvisational, reminiscent of jazz or a hip-hop freestyle. I rarely have a plan, and if I do, very rarely does it turn out the way I intend. I like to cover every piece of the page in tiny details, intoxicating the observer, and pulling them in like a magnet. I’m influenced by music and books, movies, and stories, as well as American folklore. A well-crafted and opulent image can sometimes tell a more accurate and complex story than one told in the form of words.” 774.392.7294 / Insta @slush_puppy_roadkill_artz / FB @ Lucas Litchfield

Erica Sedler is a full time visionary artist/muralist who is deeply obsessed with exploring the curiosities of the natural world and using these elements and characteristics in nature as symbols in storytelling. The addictive part about making art to her is the unknown: the visions and concepts of stories that can spark in the imagination out of thin air, or smolder for a while like a puzzle that needs to slowly come together on its own time. The brainstorming process, the ideas that get you out of bed in the morning, and the feeling of sinking your teeth into your imagination….that’s where all the juice is. Infinite magic! She primarily uses oil paint in her personal work, and has also painted nearly 50 murals in ME/NH/MA.
Jeff Roberts – “HartArt is and was inspired by people places and things. The majority of my inspiration came from the music scene and the beautiful people who attend. My process of Transforming my day to day into art is as follows: First, allowing oneself to uncover the vast depths of my unique STYLE. and releasing them on canvas. In doing so I am learning more about who I am, seeking light that can be displayed long after I’m gone. My intent behind my art is to inspire others to stop chasing a dream and start creating their own. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! Because of a spark that lit my fuse HARTART has unfolded itself. I have contained a daily practice with Acrylic, color shift, and UV reactive paints, creating images I visualize and allowing the creation to uncover itself. I appreciate you taking The time to get to know me.” Jeffrey E.J Robert, creator of “HARTART”
Ray Rivera is a multidisciplinary visual artist and designer known for creating bold, hand-painted, one-of-a-kind clothing that blends streetwear with psychedelic expression. His work embraces imperfection, individuality, and raw creativity, transforming everyday garments into wearable art. Each piece is intuitively designed, layered with vibrant color, symbolic elements, and trippy details that reflect lived experience and personal growth. Drawing inspiration from street culture, nightlife, spiritual imagery, and the beauty found in chaos, Ray’s designs challenge uniformity and celebrate self-expression. No two pieces are ever the same—each garment tells its own story. Through his custom clothing, Ray invites people to wear their identity unapologetically, move freely, and stand out in any space while honoring authenticity over perfection.

TETSUO is a tattoo artist, spray painter, and musician based in Massachusetts. He began spray painting in 2017, developing a style rooted in illustrative and surrealist influences. His work blends bold structure with abstract, dreamlike elements, drawing inspiration from music, emotion, and the subconscious. Jack approaches each medium as a form of visual storytelling, allowing rhythm and flow to guide composition. His background in music plays a major role in shaping movement, energy, and atmosphere within his art. Whether creating tattoos, large-scale spray pieces, or illustrations, his focus remains on contrast, transformation, and expression. Each piece is designed with intention, aiming to exist beyond surface aesthetics. Through continuous experimentation and dedication to craft, Jack strives to create art that feels alive—raw, introspective, and timeless.
Jesse Erin “Ultimately my work is about human presence – the energy we carry, the emotions we mask, and the light that pushes through anyway. Each painting a celebration for the raw authenticity of the person portrayed. I build layers quickly allowing marks to remain visible so the process stays alive within the finished piece. The paintings are not still they’re meant to carry a pulse, as the energy felt by the muse portrayed.” Jessie has shown her work nationally throughout the United States including The Red Dot Gallery, Art Basel in Miami, Florida and Cherry Creek Art Festival in Denver, Colorado. She often paints live at concerts absorbing the frequencies of live music and using the vibrations as a vehicle to move the paint into bright bold brushstrokes allowing portraits, figures, and wild organic displays to emerge with the music. She’s painted at such music venues as Wonderland Forest in Layfayette, New York, Sterling Stage Kampitheater in Sterling New York, and Ramblefest in Darlington, Maryland. She lives in Central New York with her husband and three children.
Jason Vincent is a Syracuse based live painter who has been creating art his entire life, bringing high-energy, interactive visual experiences into concert and event spaces.

He has live-painted at notable venues including The Westcott Theater, Wonderland Forest, Sterling Stage, Funk ’n Waffles, and Middle Ages Brewing Company, blending performance, music, and visual art into a shared experience. Community involvement is central to Jason’s practice, he is known for encouraging younger people to participate and, at times, stepping away from his own canvas to give children the opportunity to create. For Jason, the most meaningful work isn’t just what’s finished, it’s the joy, confidence, and connection sparked through making art together. THeartofjasonvincent.com / [email protected]
