Charles Dilulo graduated from Sacramento State with a BA in art. He then went on to work at the DMV for years where he would walk to and from work everyday. Any chance he got he would cut through alleyways because, “That’s where you find the best stuff”. For about 10 years he has been meticulously compiling various objects and asembling them into beautiful works of art. Currently, his studio is a house which is a virtual museum of Charles’s work. No wall, chair, or lamp has gone untouched by Charles’s artistic hand.

Andy Littlefield graduated from Chico state with a BFA in drawing and painting. His mono-transfer prints on wood are notable for their understatement. Andy works in a print shop where he scavenges his wood canvases and frames from discarded shipping material. After transferring his photographs onto wood panels he selectively paints in the areas he wants the viewers eye to go; creating a moody, almost eerie effect. Andy refers to himself (jokingly) as “The Dark Thomas Kinkade” pointing to the fact that his work is reproducible, easily accessible to the viewer and affordable.
