It feels incredible to create a lane in branding and marketing that continues to lead us to incredible people.

And this week, we begin a new journey with artist Yvonne Cavanagh.

Yvonne is a multidisciplinary artist and educator whose work has traveled far beyond Bakersfield—from museum and gallery exhibitions to artist residencies in Greece and France. Her work explores ceramics, drawing, collage, time, place and the deeply human experiences that shape us.

And somehow, this project just feels incredibly aligned.

There is something special about bringing our art form alongside hers. Our art form, connected to hers, to connect her to those she was designed to impact.

Because this is what I love about branding/marketing.

Sometimes the work isn’t about creating something that wasn’t there.

It’s about seeing what already exists in a person—the story, the depth, the work, the years, the perspective—and building the right way for more people to experience it.

That is where we’re going with Yvonne.

And it feels a little divine.

We’re incredibly excited to welcome Yvonne Cavanagh to Charizma Co. and begin building what’s next together.

And before we even get started—go follow @yvonne.cavanagh

Not because she’s working with us.

Because truly, she’s worthy of it all on her own.

You can also experience her work through RAM, curated by Rachel McCullah Wainwright, with another solo exhibition coming in January 2027.

And this week, take a moment to read her newly released VoyageLA feature, “Conversations with Yvonne Cavanagh,” released October 5, 2026.

There is so much more to come.

Yvonne, welcome to Charizma Co.

Let’s do this!!!

The team over @galleryram is a special group. It has been a joy working with them to prepare this show! @__ramw and @henrywainwright have given our community a haven for culture and the arts - the space itself is sublime.

Here’s a little behind the scenes showing how much effort really goes into getting a peice of art out of the studio and gallery ready onto the wall… especially with a peice this big & this delicate! It was a great team effort!
Show Opens Saturday Aug 29 530-730 at Gallery RAM

Peice shown in video:
“Hunger is Not a Game”
60 x 96”
Graphite on Paper

“Every living thing needs to eat. And with no refrigeration, no grocery stores and no restaurants, wildlife takes eating pretty seriously. The predator prey relationship is a conversation as old as time. for many animals, eating without being eaten is the story of life. “
