About the Event

​Mental health is a deeply personal yet universally shared experience. It encompasses moments of struggle, growth, vulnerability, and resilience. We asked the artists: What does mental health mean to you? How can art capture the unseen battles, the triumphs, the chaos, or the calm? How do we visualize healing, identity, or hope?
​
This show aims to spark dialogue, foster understanding, and create a space for healing through the power of art.

Date: Saturday, May 16th, 2026

Joyce  Ferrer

As a creatress, Joyce’s work is rooted in movement, texture, storytelling, and the natural world, often blending mediums to create immersive, sensory experiences. With a foundation in sound healing, she incorporates vibration and energy as tools for emotional exploration and release. Her practice is deeply connected to psychology, examining the relationship between mind, body, and soul. She believes creative expression can support healing and self-awareness. Inspired by nature’s rhythms and transformations, Joyce’s work invites reflection, connection, and a deeper understanding of the inner landscape.

Kateyah Reed

Kateyah Reed is an international multidisciplinary artist and designer whose practice moves between abstraction, printmaking, and design-based systems. Her work is often layered and intense, interested in creating pieces that hold attention and invite reflection. “I want people to come to their own conclusions, define the work for themselves.

Zack  Zavala

My name is Zack Zavala. I’m a graffiti artist out of the South Bay. I paint in acrylic and oil, blending Renaissance-style techniques with a modern street style I call "controlled chaos."
