Meet the Artists

JFM Arts is a contemporary pop-up gallery showcasing visual artists—painters, photographers, sculptors, and more—in temporary spaces like vacant real estate or public venues. It offers artists a platform to exhibit their work and provides art enthusiasts with the chance to view and purchase original artworks.

Our mission is to showcase a diverse range of artists—emerging, mid-career, and new—while supporting DEIB initiatives and promoting art appreciation and sales. A portion of each sale benefits a designated non-profit.

As of August 2025, JFM Arts has hosted three shows and worked with approximately ten artists. We aim to feature varied art styles, expand our community, hold two to four shows annually, and participate in one art fair within our first two years.

Lara Azul, the artistic identity of Britta Adler, is a multidisciplinary artist who works in painting, performance, and installation. Formerly with Artists Anonymous and GODsDOGs, she is internationally exhibited and collected.

Experimental humourist filmmaker, Conceptual Sculptor + Dada Gallerist who loves joyful guerrilla art interventions, turning difficult life experiences into comedic artworks and working with what you have. Artist Allison Beda mines deeply personal yet somehow universal passions and obsessions: Through darkly comedic female-centred productions, she poetically explores the intersection of cinema, dance and narrative, resulting in bold and unique films and conceptual art. View her “Fake Gallery” here.

As a multimedia artist, Michael’s inspiration includes possibilities, community, and love, which translates to hand-cast or slip-cast clay, often with words, electricity, wood, metal, and glass. As a queer activist whose background is in Italian Roman Catholicism, Michael’s spirit-driven work focuses on the male form and gender non-specific form. View his website here.

Portia Bowers is a fiber and textile artist whose work uses vibrant colors, patterns, and textures, exploring themes of femininity, the Goddess, and possibilities. Themes of transparency are represented with the use of circles, and elements that recreate the world of flowers symbolize the infinite nature of love. View her Instagram here.

Sol paints constellations of floating bodies, created through acrobatic collaborations with fellow artists from her interdisciplinary NYC arts collective. Her work reflects a revolutionary paradigm shift: science now supports ancient mystical truths—all matter is interconnected, and thought is energy shaping reality. In short, we are oneness having the experience of separateness. View her website here.

Painting is a waking dream
Giving me a feeling of accomplishment.
It's immediately sensual,
a puzzle to scramble and then arrange. 
Inside is music 
the forest beauty.
Fresh cut grass on a summer day.
Hitchcock movies, 
a picnic at night under moonlight
And my breath right now.
