A folk roots glow, with alternative linings and blues vocal flare make up the sound of multi-genre singer/songwriter, Wyatt Brewer. Active for 15 years, Wyatt has placed in multiple songwriting competitions, written commercial jingles for corporate use , and had the title song from his EP: “Factory Made,” Featured on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory.

Expressive could not be any prouder to present the magnificent body of work by Vania. Although her work has been shown in many states, we are pleased that she teaches younger students to be disciplined artists in our studio.

About the Artista:

Kansas City Local artist V. Soto was born in Juarez, Mexico and began selling paintings at age 13. Inspired by proud cultural icons such as Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, she connects with her by heritage by maintaining influential traditions from this rich past.

Building on this theme, Day of the Dead symbolism is prevalent in her work, again as a way of connecting to the longstanding customs of her family and community and expressing its beauty through art.

Her main media is acrylics and she also works in mixed media. She describes her work as realism with a pop of surrealism.

It’s the last Friday the 13th of the year! Come have a brew and see where your energy is headed with a tarot card reading. Take $5 dollars off your reading if you buy a beer. I saw in the cards you’re going to have a good time. Let’s talk about you!

Join us for an exciting tasting featuring products from St. Agrestis in Brooklyn, New York. Amaro, Aperitivo, bottled Negroni and Spritz are all on the list.
