OUR CREW
Ryan Gardell
Creative Director // Founder
Mural Artist & Designer
@ryangardell
Ryan's work explores the raw, gritty textures of the urban sprawl, mixed with the vibrant, polychromatic landscape of psychedelia, creating a vast dichotomy that emulates the thin veil separating reality from imagination. He is constantly experimenting and evolving his creative process with new techniques and styles, embracing a fusion of organic and digital mediums, while utilizing tools both new and old. Ryan's pursuit is to make art more interactive, inclusive and accessible, dissolving boundaries between artist and spectator. He believes in radical self expression as a human birthright, and encourages creativity as a therapeutic practice essential to a happy, healthy life.
Audrey Tesserot
Studio Agent // Mural Artist
@embodiedliving
Audrey is an artist of many mediums who utilizes painting as a tool for meditation, self-healing and creative embodiment. As an embodiment teacher, she advocates that there is no wrong way to release the creative energy we all have inside. Originally from Miami, FL, she studied theatre at The Boston Conservatory, which inspired her to seek even more outlets of expression. Ecstatic dances led to her connecting with Artifakt Studios in 2021, and the collaborative masterminds have continued to blossom ever since.
