Artist Exhibitions by
Diggie (Amie Dignan)
Artist Statement
My art emerges from the intersection of spontaneity and emotion, a visceral expression of my lived experiences in real time. I approach each piece as a form of intentional play, working intuitively with acrylics, spray paint, and mixed media. This dynamic process transforms my canvas into a cathartic visual journal, where colors, shapes, and textures capture the rawness of emotion as it unfolds.
Edwin Vargas
Artist Statement
Edwin, a photographer from Costa Rica now living in San Francisco, is known for his bold, imaginative images that take viewers into colorful, dreamlike worlds. His art reflects his cultural background and unique vision. As the chair of APA SF, he is also a dedicated advocate for underrepresented photographers, working to promote diversity and inclusion in the industry.
