BIOGRAPHY:
I'm Sherie, more commonly known on the net as Aziraphale, Seranda, Cherry, Coffee Whore, or The Pissed Off Puppet. I'm part of a what most people see as an very opinionated gaming group/guild/family known as the KiithSa Hunters or MHX, some know us, some don't...some love us, some hate us....either way... eh, it doesn't matter b/c I <3 them guys lol. I'm an artist and I have a dark sense of humor that matches my sense of style (no I'm not a "goth kid"). I've worked at 3 Coffee places in my work experience 2 of which I was management at(which is a good record considering I've only had 4 jobs). My ultimate goal is possibly to open a coffee shop and maybe an art gallery. I like anime and I'm into Freaky-Deeky Fashion Design (Anyone who's talked to me about my future cosplay knows what I mean). I collect devil duckies and create art with junk. I'm spontanious and random and I really really really like pirates. I like Japanese food and random Japanese things (weird with pirates, I know). I listen to all kinds of music and I'm an insomniac. I collect old game systems and I pwn Noobs on occasion.

BIOGRAPHY:
I was born in Connecticut, then moved to Washington DC, where I received a liberal arts education, including study abroad as an undergraduate. I worked for some years before returning to school, first at the Corcoran School of Art, taking classes to build a portfolio, then as a graduate student at University of Maryland, where I worked under artists Anne Truitt, Patrick Craig, WC Richardson, David Driskell, Keith Morrison, Claudia DeMonte and art historians Jack Burnham and Josephine Withers. I responded most to the idea of art as process. I don't usually sketch before painting, but rather apply paint and let the canvas develop, allowing paint and color to speak for themselves, looking and waiting to see what will happen. My paintings accumulate depth via layers of paint applied over time; sometimes I allow the history of the piece to show, sometimes I completely cover the surfaces, recycling image, paint, canvas, my own history. Some of the images take years to develop. I stop when I am satisfied the piece is resolved, but never foreclose the possiblity of painting over it again someday, begging the question, When is anything ever not changing?

BIOGRAPHY:
BIOGRAPHY I was born in Oxford, England, and graduated in 1991 from Camberwell College of Arts, London with a BA (honors) in illustration. Moving then to San Francisco I started a business in graphic design, illustration and later web design work, but art as was never far from my thoughts and in 1994 I joined the Awarehouse, an art and design community group in SOMA, as a founding member. After participating in Open Studios in 1999, the appeal of pursuing an artist's career exclusively began occupying my mind. I quit the successful but less inspiring corporate design world, and waded into the deep end of all painting all the time. I joined the Blue Studio artists' group in 2001, had twins in 2003, became a resident artist at Red Ink Studios in 2004, joined Compound21 in 2006, and became an &quot;Artist-In-Permanence&quot; at Frey Norris Gallery (http://www.freynorris.com) in San Francisco in 2006. To date my work has been predominantly in painting, though I have recently begun working in sculpture, installation work, and am beginning projects in video and digital animation.

Naomee Guest

BIOGRAPHY:
Naomee was lucky&hellip; She was born in New York and considered herself a true New Yorker&hellip; She still lives there, as a matter of fact. Her dad was a sign painter and she remembers watching him perfect letters on paper with a ruler in one hand and a brush in the other&hellip;. always using primary colors. As a youngster, she won an award from the United Nations for participating in an elementary school art contest for the cover of a song book. She knew then she would always paint.&hellip;. She was accepted to The School of Music and Art in 1952 and then attended the Art Students League in New York in the late fifties and early sixties, but when she realized anatomy classes needed to be part of her curriculum, she decided it was time to move on. Over the years, she experimented with all of the mediums. She was a student at The School of Visual Arts in New York, dabbling in graphic design. A piece she completed called &ldquo;Once Upon a September Day&rdquo; was accepted into the LaGuadia Atrium, Long Island City show &ndash; MNEMONIC: A 9/11 Memorial Exhibition. Naomee has always been attracted to graphics as an art form and during the past six years has found her comfort zone doing abstract geometric pieces. She has a second home in St. Petersburg, Florida where she spends part of her days absorbed in her art. Her work has been shown in group exhibitions in New York as well as galleries in Coral Gables and Tampa, Florida

I won three awards in three annual student art shows: 3rd place in Fine Art/Drawing - 1993 (Lansing Community College) 1st place in Fine Art/Drawing - 1994 (Lansing Community College) Watercolor Prize - 1996 (University of Michigan) I graduated from the University of Michigan in 1996 with a BFA in Graphic Design (I was also awarded an academic scholarship from U-M in 1994). I found college coursework to be very conventional and rather boring, actually. I really enjoyed my humanities, philosophy, and art history classes however. I had a few professors who were really inspiring, but I mainly self-taught myself as an artist, because I learned very little from most instructors at college. I found it difficult after college to exhibit art work in art galleries, so I worked in the graphic design profession, particularly at the automotive advertising agencies O'Briens Agency in Lansing, MI and BBDO-Detroit in Troy, MI. I currently work as a packaging graphic designer at Eastman Outdoors in Flushing, MI. I idolize Pop Artist Andy Warhol for his creative genius. I adopted a philosophy that &quot;Life is Art.&quot;

BIOGRAPHY:
&quot;irKt&quot; Individual Relative Contradiction Theory The name is consist by all the first letter of my theory. Focusing myself by contradiction from this relative world.And so why, I put my first letter of my name &quot;K&quot; Born California, living and working at several country, As Tokyo (Japan), Nancy Paris (France), New York (USA).From 2004, works and resides in Long Island City, NY. Most of my artwork is created by silkscreen with acrylic paint on canvas, as well as T-shirts with original prints. Focusing my thoughts and describing the creation, which I can deeply feel and absorb from each city. Moreover, I realize that there can be as many values as there are people. To create art in a cosmopolitan setting and the society of consumption follows my theme. At first, this theory is a theme of my artwork. Therefore, I would like to explain what the phrase means. The first word of my theory, &quot;Individual&quot;, consists of each individual's values, originality, and characteristics with which one can define oneself and also is equal to ourselves. Then, &quot;relative&quot; is about two opposite characteristics which define existence such as light and dark, make and break, create and consume, eat and excrete, etc. An important thing is that both elements are equal. This thought stems from the ancient Chinese belief of &quot;Yin and Yang&quot;. At last, the word &quot;contradiction&quot;. Between the relative elements, I thought that there is always a third element that exists. For example, there are many shades between light and dark and objects can be both light and dark. By making a shadow they also simultaneously prove the existence of light, for instance. Following this idea, if I applied &quot;contradiction&quot; to the human mind, I thought people always have a relative thing in their mind before making survival based decisions. This comes from each person's sense of value. Individual decisions do not represent the entire wisdom behind them. The contradictions within us are what establish us as individuals. Therefore, I thought &quot;individual&quot; and &quot;contradiction&quot; are equal with &quot;relative&quot; completing and serving to link the whole. The purpose of my artwork is to focus on finding and describing the contradiction and express these as shapes and figures on the canvas. Even though creation and sales promotion have opposite qualities, both of them are necessary to live in the society as an artist. I strongly believe this opportunity allows me to gain exposure as I continue to create and I am eager to show my work to more people. Sincerely, irKt as Koosuke

BIOGRAPHY:
Gabriel Pons was born in Northeast Pennsylvania in 1974. His father, a structural engineer, emigrated from the Philippines to marry his mother, an American school teacher he met at a Valentine's Day party in 1967 during her tour as a Peace Corps volunteer. Gabriel's childhood was spent listening to his father'™s extensive record collection, playing with Legos, watching science fiction movies, and collecting comic books. In 1987, Gabriel's older brother introduced him to skateboarding, which consumed his teenage years and exposed him to a whole new punk aesthetic in music and art. While attending architecture school, Gabriel expanded upon the typical mediums of architectural drafting and modeling and initiated painting and collage as another means of rendering space. The architecture studio also provided him the environment to explore other media such as photography and video. In 1995, Gabriel participated in the Virginia Tech studies abroad program, traveling throughout Europe over the course of four months documenting art and architecture. In 1999, Gabriel followed his future wife’s trajectory and moved to New York City. During their years living in Brooklyn, they worked in architecture firms while simultaneously pursuing their respective art forms. As a way of returning to the roots of his inspiration and merging both recreation and artistic endeavors, Gabriel has been designing skateboard graphics under the MONO (pronounced moe-no) label since 2002. In the summer of 2005, Gabriel and his wife Scarlett relocated to Fredericksburg, Virginia to live closer to their family and start one of their own. Their son, Diego, was born on December 10th 2005. Gabriel and Scarlett share an artist studio at LibertyTown Arts Workshop in downtown Fredericksburg. Their studio, aptly named PONSHOP, exhibits Gabriel'™s paintings on canvas, paper, and skateboards as well features Scarlett's ceramics. The PONSHOP mission is to promote fun and creativity through the exhibition and education of art and design.

BIOGRAPHY:
EARLY DEVELOPMENT My discovery of art: When I was 6 years old my brother, Ahmad, who left us and this world , introduced me to the wonder of creation when, unbeknownst to him, I watched as he worked with colored pencils on a picture for one of his school projects. Just by being who he was and seeing him confidently applying the reds and greens and yellows to this blank page, did he totally captivate me with the creative process. In a sudden flash of certainty, I became totally involved in the world of art...(I had never even seen an art piece before then)...and this passion was to stay with me for the rest of my life. This creative &quot;selection&quot; was to carry over even in my dress. When my mother might bring home a dress each for my sister and me, my sister happily accepted it &quot;as is.&quot; But I would always want to change it: make it shorter, tighter or in some way more stylish. I was a rebel in my mom's eyes. This obsession for beauty and fashion passed when I was around 15 years of age, and I began searching for meaning in my life. I became &quot;politicized&quot; at 18. It was during the Shah's regime and many young Iranian people, idealistic and looking for a better world, became involved in groups seeking social change. When the Iranian Revolution, which sought to end the Shah's repressive regime, finally succeeded, there was real jubilation and optimism for the future. But this was short-lived. As the true nature of the theocracy surfaced, a pall of fear was cast over the entire country. Anyone whose ideas differed from theirs had to flee or risk arrest and possible death. Repression of ideas and censorship were the order of the day. PRISON At that time, having graduated from high school with a teaching credential, I was in my fifth year as a teacher of elementary school children. I took my class on a field trip to a play written by an author whose work had been banned during the era of the Shah. His play, an innocent children's story, encouraged independent thought and concern for others. (Like so many &quot;enemies&quot; of the government, the author had died &quot;mysteriously&quot;; he was found floating in a river.) Despite having secured the permission of all the children's parents for them to attend the play, school officials aligned with the government were not pleased that I had done this. A few days later, I learned I was being demoted from my teaching post to that of an office secretary, and being transferred to another school. A month later, I was arrested for passing out newsletter/pamphlets critical of the regime to people passing in the streets. For this act, I was sentenced to 5 years in a women's prison. The years I spent inside as a political prisoner encompassed both the worst and best experiences of my life. For all the cruelty, torture, and isolation of the place, there were moments of pure beauty and humanity from my fellow inmates that I will never forget. The experience gave me a deeper view of myself, of humanity, human rights, life and death. RELEASE After my release from prison, I was not allowed to teach in any official capacity despite my credential and 5 years of teaching experience. I decided to privately tutor students while taking art classes myself from four famous Iranian artists. This I did for 4 years while trying to register for the university entrance examination, a bureaucratic nightmare effort made almost impossible due to having lost my high school diploma and teaching credential document while in prison. Finally, I was able to secure proper duplicate documents that enabled me to take the entrance test. Among many thousands of applicants taking the exam, I received the 75th highest score. I then took a required second round of testing. When my name did not appear among the accepted applicants published in the newspaper, I suspected the government had interceded with their &quot;ideological filter&quot;, denying me entrance. Following up, I found that this indeed had been the case. So I wrote a 2-page letter to the Minister of Education wherein I discussed this matter very openly. I argued that if they denied a person with political &quot;tendencies&quot; such as myself the right I had earned to enter the University, they would be giving me little choice but to leave the country. Miraculously, I received a congratulatory acceptance letter in the mail. The next year, I became a student at Art University in Tehran. Only 3 years later, I found out that in that second round of testing, designed specifically to test all applicants seeking to secure one of the 500 designated places in the country's art schools, I had placed 1st.

See more from these and other series on my site: http://www.helloari.com/gallery/ I was born in Israel in 1971 and raised in San Diego. In high school, I started shooting with the Nikkormat my dad bought when I was born. I produced a series of black and white pictorial abstractions and some travel logs. Later, at the University of California Santa Cruz, I experimented with alternative processes, color and other, more conceptually focused forms of art. I continued my interest in images of people in the built environment and experimented with a series of abstract motion studies. In recent years, I found that working digitally worked for me and began exploring panoramic photography. I am currently developing a series about my Great Aunt and her apartment in Paris. In addition to exhibiting my art, I am a sign maker and a web designer working for a wide variety of clients including museums and art galleries. I live in San Francisco and point my camera at a certain 15 month-old very often these days.

Darie Schotte is a Belgian artist who is specialised in ceramical, figurative sculpture. As artmaster she attended courses first in sculpture then in ceramics. She is familiar with different textile-and batik applications, nevertheless ceramics and painting have always had her major attention. Many worldwide travelling, frequent contacts with various cultures and religions, the interest for philosophy and astrology, the fascination for the human being, nature, and the everlasting guiding love in and for life linked with her own experiences are constant sources of inspiration for her creative work. "The possibilities offered by ceramic art are so numerous, that many people are appealed by this artform. My work is parallel with the different periods I experienced in my life. During the creative process, while an object gets a defined shape, I mentally already create the next one." The work of Darie Schotte is permanently on exhibition in southwest France in the neighbourhood of Bordeaux, near the town of Bazas. You can visit the atelier and art gallery by appointment.

BIOGRAPHY:
As a child, I often wished there was a way that I could capture what I saw in the world.I thought my eyes were magic.There could be no other explanation for the wonders I saw. I spent hours marveling at the colors I saw in everything.The textures,the light and its rhythms, the treasures hidden everywhere. I was always hunting for more. My earliest memories of feeling this way was at a time when art was not something I was aware of consciously. Like most small children I did not fully grasp the concept of expression or even think to. Children just &quot;are&quot;. Those memories and experiences remain vivid in my mind and are a constant inspiration for me. Today I still hunt for treasures as I did growing up on the shores of the Hudson river. Long summer days were spent sculpting in the clay that is abundant there.A belly full of blackberries with the sun on my back,squatting in the sand hunting for treasures with my favorite aunt. Bits and pieces of lives, all with a story to tell,washed ashore and shaped by the river. &quot;Waiting for you to find and yours to tell&quot; you said. I still tell them today,with my sculptures,paintings,writing and photos. My lovely Aunt Irma, a third generation artist,published writer and photographer. &quot;The Signpainter's Daughter&quot; It is to you I owe my love of art.The gift you nurtured in me, giving it a voice, a way to make it tangible. Through the lens of a camera, with my hands that create, you showed me how to capture the beauty in life I once sought to understand. I love and miss you Aunt Irma. The Signpainter's Grandaughter...
