Ash Cascade Design
Ash Cascade is a surface pattern designer, Ashley Paggi, whose bohemian/retro style evokes a polished yet gritty sense of place. Ash draws infinitely upon the adventures she takes with her husband and their two fierce little girls in the Pacific Northwest.
Ash’s designs translate beautifully across many industries with her most passionate being outdoor gear, clothing, stationery, dinnerware, wallpaper, gift wrap, home goods and fabric. She collaborates with Cotton + Steel Fabrics to create fabric collections that are sold globally. While her main goal is art licensing, she also produces some of her own products such as bandanas, mugs, stickers, wrapping paper, cards and more.

Kira Frances
I was raised in Europe, dividing my time between London and Italy. I formally began my training as an artist in London, studying at the Prince’s Drawing School until I completed my BA in Fine Art and Philosophy at Smith College in 2014. Upon graduating, I studied at Columbia University before I returned to London and over the course of four years, I worked in a graphic design studio and as an artist’s apprentice, while also developing myself as a professional artist.
I moved to Washington, DC in 2019 where I studied at the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design and formed a much more intimate relationship with my work. I started to tackle ideas about truth and reality, questioning my belief systems, the way I view the world and my conditioned mental restrictions. This influenced my work, because what is a painting if not a glimpse into an altered form of reality? And while art may reference life, it is bound by an individual’s perception, which is always subjective.
After two years, I challenged myself further and embarked upon a year-long outdoor expedition around the United States. I wanted to connect with myself and nature in a more meaningful way; to find where beauty met deep introspection. In the depths of the backcountry of Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, the Narrows, and many other places, and after 800 miles of hiking that demanded my full physical and spiritual focus and presence, I discovered that nature has the power to reveal the truth and will never fail to force a confrontation with reality. This is the basis of my work: by combining elements of abstraction and realism in my painting I seek to investigate the truth in the context of one’s constructed reality.

Lindsey Luna Tucker
Lindsey Luna Tucker (b.1990) received her BFA in Drawing and Painting (2017) from Georgia State University. Taking inspiration from nature, poetry, books and emotions, Lindsey’s expressive landscapes begin with visual awareness of the physical world but favor emotional truth over visual realism. Lindsey has been awarded artist residencies with Lawayaka Current and Saint Gertrude’s Monastery. Her work lives in private collections throughout North America and Europe. She currently lives and works in Bend, Oregon.
My work begins with visual awareness of the physical world but is rarely made directly from life. Each painting is a compilation of sketches, photos, sentiments, and memories that seeks emotional truth over visual representation. Through sensitivity to emotion, exaggeration of gesture, and manipulation of color and space, my paintings become less about the subject itself and more about the act of searching – seeking answers but never fully resolving the question.

Alyson Brown is a photographer and stylist specializing in beverage and botanicals. With nearly two decades of experience working across many aspects of brand building, Alyson’s specialties really shine in art direction, brand development, photography, content creation, and more.
Alyson’s passion for cocktails led to her first book, The Flower-Infused Cocktail: Flowers With A Twist. It was while photographing her book that she found her true love for beverage photography and styling. She has had the pleasure of working with beverage brands such as Maker’s Mark, Empress 1908 Gin, Monin, Wild Roots Spirits, Crater Lake Spirits, Union Wine Company, Steel Dust Vodka, and many more.
Though she currently calls the high deserts of Central Oregon her home, she often refers to her southern roots and love for the beach, having grown up just minutes from the Gulf Coast beaches in Florida. When she’s not mixing flower-infused cocktails, she can be found enjoying the beautiful outdoors with her husband and two sons.
