Aparna Chikkam Aparna is a versatile artist expressing her creativity in oil, acrylic paints and murals. She employs rich and vibrant colors, and curves typical of Indian women while delineating their daily lives on canvas, reflecting her nostalgic existence in her adopted home. Depending on her mood she sometimes dabbles with abstract art too. She is a self-taught artist though some influences of the Indian city of Mysore, where she spent her adolescence, are evident. In the last few years she has exhibited her works to the public in Dallas, TX and Seattle, WA including three exhibitions for CRY.

Devang Thakkar Devang inherits his passion for painting from his mother, an artist herself. He works mostly with oils and acrylics while experimenting with other materials whenever he gets the opportunity. Devang is inspired by Braque, Rothko, Matisse and Pollock (and sometimes Picasso). He works from his studio in Fremont and also uses it as his gallery space during the Fremont Artwalk held on the first Friday of every month. If you are in the neighborhood for the art walk, do stop by Gasworks Gallery, 3815 4th Ave. NE, Seattle. To make an appointment to visit the gallery, please contact Devang at devang.thakkar@gmail.com or 206-407-9441.

Over the years they have been recognized for their landscape and nature photos and won awards in a number of competitions. One of Steve’s photos was chosen to be included in Microsoft Windows Vista as a default desktop image. You may have seen this photo in computer stores; it is literally used on millions of computers! Located in Sammamish, WA, Steve and Jian now provide photography services to the greater Seattle area. They do portraits, weddings, high school events, family photos and fine art.
