Hiden is a Birmingham, Alabama native and received her B.F.A. with a concentration in photography from Birmingham-Southern College. After receiving her Master of Fine Arts in photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design, she taught at Kennesaw State University, Atlanta Technical College, and SCAD and has shown her work internationally. Currently, she lives and works as a User Experience Designer in Atlanta. In her work, she finds reward in and seeks to make unexpected visual conclusions through experimentations in both the digital and analogue photographic worlds. These manifest through the act of appropriating found imagery and play with non-traditional photographic techniques. As media is employed, deconstructed, manipulated and constructed once more, she is curious to expose the photographic medium beyond its usual callings and uses. A common thread in her work, is her personal investigation into loss, attachment, family and the layering of history in order to create new narratives.

Allie Pohl is a Los Angeles-based conceptual artist whose work explores the social and cultural constructions of contemporary Western society. Questioning the notion of perfection, Pohl created the "Ideal Woman" by digitally enhancing Barbie to fit Western society's ideal female measurements of 36-24-36. This avatar symbolizes anti-perfection and is repeated throughout Pohl's work in sculpture, video, ceramic, and installation. In an effort to continue the conversation outside of galleries and museums, Pohl has made her work more accessible through the "Ideal Woman" jewelry line and sticker packs. In her latest series entitled "Peacocking," Pohl turns her attention to the opposite sex and examines how contemporary men market themselves to women on popular dating apps, such as Tinder, while also dissecting male mannequins to highlight how society's conception of the ideal male form has transformed over the decades. Pohl's unique aesthetic has been widely exhibited with features in the Orlando Museum of Art, Context Miami, Dallas Art Fair, Photo LA, Cornell Museum of Art and American Culture, the Denver International Airport, and a public sculpture show curated by Olga Viso where she won the People's Choice Award. Allie Pohl (b. 1984) received a Bachelor of Arts from Hamilton College before attending Parsons, The New School for Design, in New York City, where she received an Associates of Applied Science in Graphic Design. She then went on to receive her MFA in Electronic Media Arts & Design from the University of Denver.

Karen Varsha is an Atlanta artist. Her current work as a still-life photographer is influenced by her work photographing people and culture in Atlanta. Her work currently focuses on floral still life that simulates paintings. Her interest in photography began at an early age when she received a camera for camp and continued taking photos through college at the University of Ga where she majored in art. Classes from Mary Ellen Mark and Joyce Tennyson inspired her growth. She opened a studio at the Goat Farm, a well-known arts center in town. But when her husband received a cancer diagnosis and the Covid quarantine was in effect all in the same month, she was forced to work at home. Her new Florals Still Life work began as a reaction to the quarantine and her husband's treatment for cancer. She looked for an outlet for her grief. She found it in these prints which make her joyful and give her hope. Karen exhibits her work in local juried shows and recently displayed at the Swan House Gallery, Atlanta Photography Airport Show, and Marietta Cobb Museum of Art.
