EuGene Vidal Byrd III was born in Wichita, KS the last of three children of Ella Mae and Eugene from dirt county roads of Tulsa, OK. EuGene was early influenced by 70’s album covers; comic books and he could always be found drawing. His mother being an interior decorator /artist herself always encouraged EuGene to pursue his art. Growing up in the 80’s during the gangbang creak era, from a low-income environment it took a while for EuGene to fully embrace his artistic calling. EuGene received his BFA from SCAD in 2002. Worked as a graphic designer and creative director for 15 years for fortune 500 companies such as Timberland, Meineke Car Care, Sonny Pictures, Walt Disney, Worldpay, Miami and Dubai International Airport. After the loss of his sister and mother, a successful design career just wasn’t fulfilling enough. In 2016 he left his job and stepped out on faith to fully pursue his art career. EuGene founded Future Dead Artists, and operated FUTURE GALLERY from 2018-2020 in which he mentored artists/curators, curated 20 exhibitions and over 200 artists.

Sachi Rome is a painter and mixed media artist who is from Atlanta Ga. She briefly studied under the critically acclaimed African American artist Louis Delsarte. His influence is reflected in her focus on color and impressionistic texture. Sachi’s works seek to change the social history behind who is captured and immortalized through portraiture. The current direction of her work looks at the connection between history, time, memory and past lives. The imagery presents dignity and grace while seeking to give voice to the unheard. Voices of the silent black woman, disconnected sister, lost brother or friend. She is regifting them with life and the audience. Her current work is an abstract series is called “Anything but Brushes” and rely on expressive energetic mark-making and a very experimental use of tools. Kitchen spatulas of various sizes, combs and torn cardboard are used by the artist to channel the imagery of what she believes to be lost.
