About Sawai 

Sawai is a multidisciplinary artist and educator from Long Beach, California. Working with a range of mediums—from acrylic and oil pastels to large-scale murals—her art centers on themes of inner child healing and community connection.


IG: @sawai.co


is a cultural and creative complex fostering the intersection of contemporary art, wellness, and community impact.

We are driven by the belief that culture shifts consciousness. Culture provides a communal context to reexamine and ultimately better ourselves, our purpose, and our communities.

Our approach is holistic and inclusive. Operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we offer contemporary art exhibitions and immersive experiences, classes and workshops in the healing arts, performances, dining, and spaces to wander and reflect – all in an effort to promote connection, belonging, curiosity, and growth.

Compound’s restaurant and bar , in partnership with Baryo, extends Compound’s mission of bringing together community through food and drink.
