is a visual artist based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. While he works in many media and styles, drawing always comes at the center of his work. He has maintained a focus on minimalist lines and measures etchings throughout his repertoire. Sajeev's works draw on the tension between the mundane activities of every day life and his political sensibilities, between his young life in village India and the world of fine art.

The Pooka Queen() is an avid rock hound. Her jewelry is a lot about showing off natures beauty. Many of the stones are hand cut in collaboration with lapidary artists which allows her to design the shapes exactly as she imagines them. She accents the stones with quality gold filled and sterling silver wire in unique sculptural ways. Her inspiration comes from geometry and patterns, keeping the forms clean and simple.

Mark Sarmel( ) is the not-so-secret-secret identity of Mark Moreno. He has worked as an Illustrator and Designer since graduating from the College for Creative Studies. As a designer he has worked with major brands such as Ford, Chevy, Alfa Romeo, Jeep and more. He’s also rocked out with brands like JBL and even found some time to design games with Shinola. His design work is highly detailed, rigorously researched and most of all, eye catching.

As an Artist Mark works under the name Mark Sarmel. Mark’s work often deals with diverse people and cultures. By mixing mythologies from numerous cultures and re-presenting them in a hybrid form he seeks to reflect the multicultural world he sees around him. This imaginary world is filled with characters that are at first atypical, but ultimately analogous to the real world. He seeks to present these characters in heroic portraits that act as spirit guides for the viewer.

Mark’s work has been featured in numerous galleries including Thinkspace, Innerstate Gallery, Gallery 1988, Bottleneck Gallery, Guzu Gallery, and the Red Bull House of Art.
