Johnathan Jamal Bailey is a multidisciplinary designer, creative director, and curator whose work sits at the intersection of art, architecture, and cultural narrative. As the founder of TBG Interior Design and The Bailey Gallery, he is known for crafting emotionally resonant environments that blur the boundaries between fine art and interior design, building spaces that feel lived, layered, and deeply personal. Guided by a builder’s instinct and an artist’s eye, Bailey moves seamlessly across luxury residential projects, boutique hotels, immersive installations, and culturally driven hospitality concepts, shaping an aesthetic defined by texture, soul, and storytelling. Through The Bailey Gallery, he curates experiences that elevate global influences, Black cultural narratives, and emerging creative voices, emphasizing the expressive power of materials and the histories they carry. For House of Hues at Aqua Art Miami 2025, Bailey extends this practice by transforming space into dialogue—a study of duality between heritage and futurity, minimalism and depth, luxury and humanity. Whether designing a Buckhead penthouse in Atlanta, a Dallas bistro, or cultural experiences in Costa Rica and Mexico City, Bailey continues to push the boundaries of his field, affirming that design is never just decoration, but a profound form of storytelling.

Charles Louis Middleton III (b. 1993, San Antonio, TX) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice is rooted in memory, community, and creative endurance. Deeply influenced by his grandmother’s doodles and his Aunt Vanessa’s sketchbooks, he developed an early fascination with portraiture and the expressive power of line. A graduate of Prairie View A&M University, where he studied African American Art History under Dr. Clarence Talley and Professor Ann “Sole Sista” Johnson, Charles continues to explore the narratives and aesthetics that shape his identity and culture. Working primarily with charcoal, graphite, crayon, and acrylic on canvas, paper, and wood—mediums he’s used since childhood—his work invites a return to authentic artistic connection in a world saturated by commercial imagery. With over 20 years of creative practice, Charles views art as a lifelong, “endless study,” constantly evolving as he seeks to share beauty, truth, and togetherness through his craft.

While art remains his primary focus, King also models professionally, channeling visual storytelling across both fields.

Ashley Cole (b. 1983, Los Angeles, CA) is a self-taught Abstract Expressionist painter whose work explores freedom, memory, and ancestral lineage through improvisation and rhythm inspired by jazz. A former fashion design student at Brooks College, Cole works with acrylics, oil pastels, and texture mediums on canvas, wood panel, and unstretched surfaces, approaching each composition like a musician—through spontaneity, feeling, and attentive listening. Her recent body of work, Crescendo & Color, bridges the worlds of abstraction and jazz, inviting viewers into a visual dialogue of color, movement, and sound, with pieces named after iconic compositions like John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme. With a decade of artistic practice and six years working professionally, Cole has exhibited with Rele Gallery at Frieze Chicago (2025), Wilmer Jennings Gallery (2024), and Fullerton College Gallery.
