Never formally trained in art, except for a few art classes in high school and college, Kate has been painting and taking photographs for eight years.  Only recently however, she has expanded her work to establish herself as an emerging artist.

During travels with her loving companion Notah, Kate continues to develop her inner space through culture and community.  She enjoys her job at a local hospital, doing yoga and cooking delicious vegan meals for friends and family, while taking care of her pet bunny, Freya, and cat, Jimi.

drawing began at the age of four when her mom bought her two books at a garage sale on how to draw cats and dogs. Since then April has gone on to get her degree in graphic design and has had continual education in drawing and painting. Although she paints a variety of subjects her passion is animals and you can see that in how she captures the souls of the portraits she paints. April has worked with AZ Golden Retriever Connection, Pacc911, the AZ Humane Society and other local animal charities in raising money and has taught drawing and composition at Rio Salado’s RISE program.
 
Bringing animals to life on canvas gives April joy and purpose. With her love for animals and her passion for art she has found what wakes her up every morning, and with every new painting there is something new and wonderful to learn…
Look for April on May 22nd for our Charity Dog Wash  Event!!!

They are best friends in life, sisters on the dance floor, and co-directors and co-creators of Divine Chaos.  Tammy and Shannon both started their tribal journey at Domba studios under wonderful instructors such as Heidi Alexander, Samantha Riggs, Ellisha Tash, and Gina Zavala. They both fell in love with the emotion, creative expression and sense of community that came along with tribal style belly dance and joined the Domba family in May 2005, dancing in Bedouin Tribe’s student troupe, Zareen. In October 2007, Shannon and Tammy became members of Bedouin Tribe until they officially disbanded in November 2008.   

With their roots in Domba Tribal, Indian Fusion, Fire Bellydance, Skirt, and Sword; Divine Chaos has developed a unique and signature style of their own.  Divine Chaos is a dance sisterhood that is as passionate as it is disciplined about its dance! They understand the importance of training and technical expertise and have become consummate learners and performers expanding their vocabulary with formal ATS, Veil, Burlesque, Hip Hop, and Double Fan to name a few. They are dedicated to working and playing hard, pushing boundaries, and creating and promoting the art form of Tribal Fusion Bellydance.  

Divine Chaos performs throughout the valley at a variety of venues, from restaurants to festivals; from PF Changs Rock & Roll Marathon and First Friday Phoenix Art Walk to major events like Tribal Fest.
