CYNTHIA BRANNVALL
Art Historian & Artist | Foothill Community College

Picture
Cynthia Brannvall is an art historian and a multi-media artist who teaches art history as a full-time faculty member of Foothill Community College. An advocate and ally for social justice and equity, Cynthia’s artwork explores identity formation envisioned in an imagined deep time terrain of memory, reclamation, and the geographies of forced and voluntary migrations of body and spirit. Cynthia was selected for the 2022-2023 Emerging Artist’s Program at the Museum of African Diaspora in San Francisco where she had a solo exhibition in 2022.


LUCKY RAPP
Internationally-known visual artist

Picture
​Lucky Rapp is a San Francisco based visual artist with a background in both fashion and art. Her self-taught style is often characterized as being text-based. Her methodology incorporates layers of resin, paint, and acrylic forms that create texture and depth within the dialogue of her work. Lucky’s approach is process-oriented and physical. The end result combines inquisitive statements that play with both language and the potency of graphic communication, while the three-dimensional nature of the layered resin fosters a sculptural reflective quality

DIANE OLIVIER
Artist & International Drawing Instructor

Picture
Diane Olivier My continuing passion is hand to paper drawing. The physical touch, the give of the surface as it yields to mark making transports me. My current artwork travels in two veins: one plein air landscape, the other figurative. Both are records of personal interactions with the present. I explore the moments I experience suspended in a place beyond the everyday and relish the alchemy of transforming paper and dust into worlds beyond their limits. I engage with my models’ personalities and hope to depict them with their influence. My landscapes are visits to nature to remind myself we are but just a speck in the universe. I share with the viewer what keeps me whole and grounded.
