Nicole is an open, genuine, and easily excitable individual with a searing passion for art, theatre, cosplay, horrendously ill-timed dark humor, and sweets.

Joseph is a passionate artist who was born in the Philippines. His family moved to the suburbs of Maryland when he was seven in pursuit of a better future. Joseph's family nurtured his love for the arts at young age through frequent visits to art museums and galleries. He owes gratitude to his professors for helping him find his voice as an artist and developing his artistic abilities. Joseph received a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in general fine arts with a concentration in painting. In 2014, Joseph had an opportunity to train and study painting and restoration techniques under Roberta Lapucci in Florence, Italy. He loves to share his knowledge of art with anyone who is willing to listen and hopes that others have a great time unleashing their creativity at Muse.

Felicia is a self taught artist from Maryland. From a young age, she started pencil drawings and took inspiration from her father, who is a watercolor artist, to start painting. Her favorite medium is acrylic because it best suits her free and fluid style. When she isn't painting, she is a makeup artist and works on a different kind of canvas. Felicia hopes to bring out everyone's artistic side at Muse.
