Three incredible artists. One inspiring night of creativity. ✨ We’re excited to feature a special art showcase at this Thursday’s AAF Award Show, highlighting the work of three visionary creatives whose talents extend far beyond the advertising world. Kathy Lajvardi is a creative director and contemporary artist whose bold mixed-media work explores emotion, identity, and storytelling. In addition to serving as Head of Marketing at AURA Technologies, her fine art has been exhibited in galleries and philanthropic events across Orange County. Benjamin Rosa is a Creative Director, fine artist, and founder of lightbulb Creative, a branding agency focused on purpose-driven brands. With more than 20 years in the creative industry, his work blends storytelling, design, and emotion through both brand work and painting. Ali Sabet is an Iranian-American contemporary artist and designer known for vibrant portraits, expressive line work, and a signature symbolic language inspired by love and energy. After decades in branding and design, he transitioned to full-time painting, with works now collected around the world. Join us as these talented artists showcase their work and celebrate the intersection of creativity, design, and art at the American Advertising Awards this Thursday. 🎨 #AmericanAdvertisingAwards #ADDYAwards #AAF #CreativeCommunity #ArtMeetsAdvertising ContemporaryArt OCArtists CreativeDirectors ArtShowcase DesignCommunity AdvertisingLife ArtAndDesign OCEvents

Quick sketch while traveling. Personally not celebrating Valentine’s Day, but for those that are… I drew in a heart for you.

Work in progress. This sketch is a warmup to a painting I’ll be working on as part of a series for an exhibition titled “ECHOES”. More on that soon.
