stARTup presents over 60 artists – selected by art world experts – who transform individual rooms at The Kinney into exhibition spaces.

Lisa Kairos and Melissa Mohammadi will create a multi-sensory environment evocative of the West Coast.

‘Our work is inspired by California flora and landscape. Place-based reflection and meticulous studies of natural forms and spaces are at the heart of our approaches to drawing and painting. We share a subject, but work at different resolutions-- Lisa paints expansive, tesselating panoramas, while Melissa dives in to explore and document the life-forms that inhabit the landscape.’
