ARTIST BIOS


REBECCA SHERMAN

Rebecca Sherman was born in Columbus Ohio and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Studio ART from New York University in 2003.

Her paintings, drawings and illustrations are inspired by New York City, architecture, light, music and movement. Ultimately, the images explore the internal and external contradiction of perception to reflect an overall experience.
Sherman’s art work has been included in group exhibitions at the Christopher Henry Gallery, Affordable Art Fair, Brooklyn Artillery Fair, C.C.C.P. Gallery and Cameo Gallery. In addition, she has been featured in several online publications such as Iniciative Colectiva Art Magazine and (Don’t be) SPINLESS.
Sherman previously co-organized art events at Built show room, the Lower Eastside Gallery at CSVC and the Interactive Gallery at Creative Pier. She has professional experience working at the 303 Gallery, Artist’s Space and ARTnews Magazine.

In 2009, she launched BHEKI to apply her art in relevant, functional and accessible context. The totes and tees feature one of a kind designs that collage and re-interpret her paintings with embroidered drawings, digitally printed illustrations and other embellishments. The concept of using a tote or tee as an artist’s canvas has allowed BHEKI to create avant- garde designs with the spirit of contemporary art and “haute couture fashion.” BHEKI has been featured on Cutable, Things We Make, Miss Malaprop and Handbag Designer 101.


ANGEL JACKSON
 
Angel Jackson was born and raised on the small island of Chios Greece, in the east Aegean sea, off the coast to Turkey.

She immigrated to New York City in 1990 and received a Graphic Design degree from the School Of Visual Arts.

Jackson is a multimedia artist with a wide spectrum of work ranging from graphic design to collage, assemblage, photography and flash animation. She is influenced by fashion, pop culture, pop art, street art and punk-rock.

In Stitches was born overnight, after Jackson was inspired by a craft fair. She creates unique cards by combining original collage with stitching. The postcards and bookmarks can stand alone as small works of art. Every piece is entirely handmade and eco-friendly. In Stitches has been featured on Bloginity.com
