Twyla is a queer Filipina-American photographer and self-published author based in Seattle, WA. Preferring old, gifted, and novelty film cameras, she makes the most of faulty shutters and ambient light; reprocessing unresolved trauma with the romance of plastic lenses, leaking light seals, and inconsistent film advance mechanisms. Her intensive analog photography process gives her something tangible to do with her hands, and creative latitude for expressing emotional truth. Her photographs have been exhibited at Vermillion Gallery, Seattle (2021); A-Gallery, Seattle (2023); Mutiny Gallery, Seattle (2022); the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience, Seattle (2020); and the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, Port Angeles, WA (2019).

Twyla graduated from the University of Washington with a bachelor's degree in Material Science & Engineering and a certificate in Program Management. In 2021, she self-published her first book, "Technicolor Nightmare", a photo memoir about surviving bipolar disorder in her twenties. In 2023, she published two other books, “Monochrome Daydream”, and “Fragile; not like a Flower. ” Twyla’s current projects are surviving bipolar disorder in her thirties, and completing her next book.

Jocelyn RC is a multidisciplinary, multimedia, lens-based artist born and raised in the BelRed neighborhood that is currently transforming into a vibrant arts district. After earning a BFA in Film Production (Chapman University, 2011), she spent the following decade chasing work opportunities from Los Angeles to the Bay Area, to New York City, and eventually back to the greater Seattle area. Devoted to her ongoing artistic development and projects only as time permitted, the 2020 pandemic lockdown finally catalyzed a definitive, full-time shift towards her art work.

Jocelyn works predominantly with video, audio, and photography to process her persistent curiosity and reverence for the nature within and around us. She’s fascinated by the dynamics between the laws of nature and constructs created by people–the idiosyncrasies of Earth dueling and duetting with our own collective actions.

In the spring of 2024, Jocelyn made her public art debut with “Seen in the Sound” (commissioned by the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority), a large-scale video installation that ran for three months across 50+ screens throughout Fulton Center in downtown Manhattan. A year later (this past spring), thirteen pieces of Jocelyne’s mixed media series “Mixed Skylines” were purchased by a local developer for display at Copal Bellevue, a new mixed-use residential building in the BelRed area. Her earlier work has also been recognized by the Northwest Film Forum (Seattle), the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences (Los Angeles), Videomaker Magazine (USA), and the New York Latin American Art Triennial (NY).
