Elisa was born to a Communist father from El Salvador who wouldn’t let her say the Pledge of Allegiance and a Westchester school teacher who admonished her for putting her elbows on the table; yet they both delighted in her dream of becoming a ballerina and nurtured in her a love of bridges, kaleidoscopes, and saltwater taffy. She’s never been sky diving or performed at Carnegie Hall, but looks forward to the experience. Someday she will eradicate all bathtub tile scum with an ultrasonic scumgun.

At Flux Factory, Elisa looks forward to channeling her creative energy into something that thrills and delights.

6 years ago, Jason Smalls skedaddled from the infamous “Los Angeles” to join up with the Flux circus, and hasn’t looked back. As young schoolchums, Jason and Flux founder Morgan Meis (also an L.A. refugee) fought the laws of chaos and sowed the seeds for a future artistic revolution. Jason has chosen the mediums of Digital Art Animation and Illustration as his primary forms of expression. He has worked for numerous clients such as MTV, Dollhouse Clothing, and the New York Post among others. For love, he is currently leading the development of an animated feature. For the love of money, he holds the position of Head Contributing Artist for the major monthly magazine Paintball Sports.

Born in 1974, Meghan Scanlon was raised in Connecticut and received her BA from Eugene Lang College (NYC, NY) in 1996. An award-winning visual artist, Meghan began exhibiting her work in 1995. In June 2000, her work was included in a two-person exhibition at Focal Point Gallery (NYC, NY). Her delightfully saucy photos have appeared in shows at the Alternative Museum (NYC, NY); Gallery 13 (Danbury, CT); and the University Gallery (Bridgeport, CT). In addition, Meghan’s work has manifested in a variety of books and magazines, most recently in a fashion editorial for the Italian magazine, Io Donna, published by Rizzoli, and on 12 book covers for Masquerade Books.
An honorary Flux member of 6 years, Meghan has participated in Flux events ranging from fundraiser parties to Thursday salons, where her most recent double-exposure, color portrait experiments have found much praise and revilement.

In addition to gallery exhibitions, MYU’s work has been shown in bars, cafes, and salons around the world. Her most recent projects combine sight and sound through paintings that are “performed” in collaboration with live music, some of which were produced by Tower Records, Osaka. In this vein, MYU has developed DJ Music Battle paintings, Dress Paintings (painting on models’ dresses for fashion shows), and Greeting Paintings (painting s produced with the help of kindergartners). Her appearances on radio and TV, where she performs these live paintings, have made her popular amongst teenagers.

MYU believes that art can be produced and appreciated by everyone, and that there is a culture in simple, everyday life.

To further this idea, MYU founded her own company “Art Office MYU” in September 1999. With the assistance of her brother and various companies, she supports many artists and events. First and foremost, she expresses her art spontaneously through self-reflection based upon what she sees as primal human nature. MYU life’s work is a method of painting which is not bound by styles, techniques, or schools.

MYU’s Lifework:
1976- born in Oita, Japan
1997-studied English in California
1997-participated in 3 group exhibitions
1998-Four solo exhibitions, held in Osaka
1999-Five solo exhibitions, held in Tokyo
2000-Four solo exhibitions, held in her hometown, Oita
