Michael Wogu
Entrepreneur, daydreamer, traveler, dancer, bag designer, husband, and first-time father, Michael Wogu is a man who wears many hats... and often forgets to hang them neatly back on the rack.
After finishing grad-school with an MBA, Michael chose a path less trodden and left for China to study Mandarin, and Chinese culture, while working as an English teacher and Dance instructor. Upon his return to the US, he took the reigns of his school term project turned boutique travel goods line MBARQGO, and began the grueling yet fulfilling road of turning his entrepreneurial ambitions into reality. His pieces have been seen on the likes of T-Pain, Nickie Minaj, Scooter Braun, and Travie McCoy, to name a few.
"I have bag ideas that fly in and out of my head all day long, but the magic happens when those shapes and silhouettes somehow cross paths with a sense of meaning, a story, a reason why. This is where the passion engine starts for me."

Julia Dubovyk
"I focus to capture the unexpected, hidden qualities behind the Chandelier that most of us take for granted. Rich, deep colors within simple compositions deliberately enhance the essence of this symbolic light source throughout my works. In doing so, I invite the viewer to reconsider this object and relate to it in a different way.
The Chandelier is the main subject of this series as light is the most powerful thing in Nature. The crystals with its ability to reflect and refract light create a magical atmosphere. In addition, everything in its proximity becomes bright, enjoyable, and festive. I am drawn to this unique light and to the idea that we can control it ourselves. Internally we all possess a source of light, and as with Chandeliers, we can turn it on or off."
