| BIOGRAPHY: |
| The creative process is a kind of dialogue between myself and the medium. Having worked for years in the language & communication field as well as in the management, there was a moment in my time in Chicago, language changed into visual language. I am happy that I could participate years ago in one of the first classes ÃÆÃâÃâ ââ¬â¢ÃÆÃ¢â¬Â âââ‰âÂ¢ÃÆÃââââ¬Ã

Â¡ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡Ãâàat the SAIC (School of the Art Institute Chicago) to get connected to digital art. The combination of several art techniques - the traditional ones (in particular drawing and painting) and the digital tool - became my medium. My areas of interest are the creation and exploration of image comositions & variations, new dimensions thru underlying structures and shapes, visual language. So it is evident that I chose the digital tool for my work. In my photographic work I am fascinated by architecture & urban scenes. In my photographic work I want that the image is perceived differently. An ordinary scene becomes extraordinary ... and so much more. Message is sent. Color & composition are critical. It's about my focus on us & our environment. My personal engagement in art is to make our environment visible. |

| BIOGRAPHY: |

Hello, my name is Adam Roth-Caretsky,I'm 29 years old.My focus in life is my art. I attended school at the State University of N.Y. at Purchase College,and started off in Manhattan at The Fashion Inst. of Technology. I grew up in Northport, Long Island.I Graduated college in May of 2002. I lived in N.Y. a few years after college. I had some art shows, and was very productive with my art, but I needed a change.I was in California a few months and then moved here, to Las Vegas about 5 years ago. My art has characteristics of Abstract Expressionism, and Pop Art/Culture. Doing art, is the way I can release my visions, and the ideas inside me,and find out about myself.My different travels,experiences,relationships,and surroundings have a big impact on what I choose to create. When I complete something, it shows me the changes I went through, and the way I felt as a person/artist during that time.Thats what pushes me the most.My creative reactions to different life experiences. I earn money, and can be creative. Thats what I love so much. I have a lot of confidence w/ my talent. Painting, Fine art,sculpture,interior design, murals,contests, and commissions, is what I push for in life.When producing art, I try to use a style and/or a painting language thats unique to me. What ever I do, it should express my ideas, and reflect me, as a person.Thinking back, 1998, I went through a lot of changes artistically. My work and inspirations were changing. I was, and still am a huge fan of Jasper Johns, Bassquait, and Andy Warhol. Attending F.I.T. in the city, and then spending the summers in the Hamptons opened a lot of doors, allowing me to be very productive. During that time I was able to generate a good amount of acceptable work. I was getting inspiration from two, very different places. In N.Y.C. , the Chelsea Hotel is home to so many artists and creative people, one of which being Larry Rivers,The Ramones,and others.In East Hampton, there were artists like Peter Beard, and Julian Schnabel. I worked for them on several occasions, sometimes at the Andy Warhol Estate. Not long after, I spent two months in Spain. I made art, learned the language, and saw the work of Joan Miro, Tapies, Valazquez, and Pablo Picasso. All these experiences are behind me now, which brings my art, to were it is today, here in Las Vegas. A life in art is a hustle, but I live and breathe art, so I will accept nothing less, nothing! My most famous/recognized work is titled- 'Condiments on Canvass'.It has thousands of filled sauce packets/condiments stacked up and glued one by one, mounted on canvass.It took me 3 months, and its over 100 LBS of packets on canvass 36X52 inches, from 2004. I have a big family, my mother Valarie, my 2 dads Bill Caretsky , and Jeff Roth. My brothers Bret , PJ , Ian, Eric, and my one sister Brandy. My grandmother Angie lives here in Vegas, and she is one of my favorites.I wanna meet and show my art to more and more people,I hope you, - www.selfportrait.net/arcfoundation , SIXFUZZYBUGS@YAHOO.COM , My exhibitions; August , 2007, Commerce St, Naked City Ink Gallery.

| I try to capture images of country scenes, the time of day and how the light seems to be falling on a particular landscape I am doing . I really like painting reflections, the opposite world where you can go and be mesmerized by it's mirror image. I also like big open fields where your spirit can roam through your own imagination. I now live where everyday you see farms with Cows, Horses , Sheep, etc... grazing outside. It is absolutely beautiful. I know that there are a lot of great paintings to come from all this inspiration ! I hope to be a artistic historian and record these images because someday they may no longer be there. |

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| I have been drawing, painting since a child. I started writing later to better release my own visions. I have worked on various small to large scale paintings, drawings & storyboards for themed events in my work environments and on a freelance basis. Created murals, paintings and trompe l'oeil's in acrylics. I also work with charcoals, pencils, pastels, acrylics and mix-media to create varied effects on different surfaces. My formal training in the applied arts for design and architectural renderings brings perspectives more into focus with my work.
More recently I have begun to pursue an artistic career although being involved with it my entire life. I still have to catch up on the presentations from a personal level to a more public scale. |

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| As a kid it was mostly about defiance. About rebelling against the maths and sciences in a cowardly attempt to protect myself from the things I could not understand. As I got older it came to be about release. About learning to let go of the things I want most in this world in order to make room for the things I need. Less angst. More acceptance. Art lets me love the ugly. Painting forces me to look the reality of the world around me in the eye and then it blesses me with the chance to change it. It begs me to climb inside the parts of me that dont make sense, all the bruises and the broken hearts, and get down on the floor with fear and work. It makes the giant promise that grace, fate and divine intervention will meet me there. I paint because I am selfish, because I want to know the point. I paint because life isnt fair and sometimes I cant take it. I paint for proof that this is real, that he was here, that she said the things I think she did. I paint so I can have something real to hold on to when the moments gone and disappeared and all thats left of it is color. I stand alone in the little room where I live with my dog and I look at the things I have created. I hear a million voices, different sides to the exact same story, all speaking to me at once. I close my eyes and breathe it in. I touch the things Ive made and I am grateful. |

 |
| BIOGRAPHY: |
| Samios specializes in fanciful, sometimes sardonic pictures of birds, plants and men (often androgynous), painted in a graceful style that's representational but not realistic. He's painted mysterious fields of floating mushrooms, masked figures in playfully erotic poses and a series of works on paper depicting American songbirds perched in the bull's-eye of National Rifle Association targets, which he finds at flea markets. Playing with scale and the age-old notion of man versus nature, Samios stenciled four little jets flying through the pictorial space, small enough for the bird to eat. Actor Orlando Bloom bought three of these "Sing for It" pictures. See Samios' work at www.billsamios.com. |

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| My art work is based on my personal walk with the Divine, because it is my belief that the Divine has placed lessons in the everyday world for us to discover.
I try to explore and understand these "wisdoms". For I believe once we understand them, then we can begin to realize who we are and what he has planned for our lives. I call this "Seeking the Divine".
Once we understand, then we can find what makes us great in this life and bring glory to the Divine. Then our daily walk with the Divine will become much stronger.
For over 20 years now, I have enjoyed working with oil paint and oil pastels. But my latest work involves the use of wood and carving images into it. My art work has taken an even more dramatic turn when I decided to explore the use of hollow core doors and broken furniture. Giving my work a three dimensional. Look but not only that, by using these found items they become a symbol of mans Inhumanity to his fellow man. But I also have added reflective phrases, that have been given to me by the Divine. In order for the viewers to understand the lessons that are hidden in my art work. |

 |
| BIOGRAPHY: |
| H. Hargrove, born Nicolo Sturiano in 1941 grew up in a small town just outside of Palermo, Italy. At the age of 23, he came to the United States with a degree in wine chemistry from the Wine Institute of Marsala excited to pursue his chosen profession.
Hired as a winemaker for a small vineyard in upstate New York, H. Hargrove's career soon changed direction when he discovered and fell in love with the American countryside. Literally awestruck by the beauty and the antiquity of the weathered barns and covered bridges, he began to paint. The owners of the winery were so impressed with his images that they asked him if he would like to create paintings to decorate the wine tasting room. Much to his delight the series of paintings depicting Monks in various stages of wine tasting became much more popular than the wine and the artist soon found himself in a studio in Greenwich Village, New York City.
The rest, as they say, is history.
H. Hargrove's accomplishments are many. Over one million of his paintings are displayed in homes throughout the world. He today ranks as one of the country's most-collected and renowned living artists. Hargrove has painted over 100 limited editions, and most have completely sold out!
In 1996, H. Hargrove was honored to create a commemorative painting for the centennial Olympic Games. "From Athens to Atlanta" is one of the artists most celebrated works. In 1999, H. Hargrove was again honored to create a work celebrating the Women's World Cup Soccer tournament. "The World Is Watching" captured the spirit of this most historic event. The artist was asked to come to a special event at the state capital in New Jersey, where he presented the then Governor Christine Todd Whitman with a limited edition of the "World is Watching" to help celebrate the "kickoff" of the Women's World Cup Soccer Tournament.
H. Hargrove has been featured on television, radio and in magazines throughout the world. He has appeared on the NBC Today Show, FOX Television and local network and public television. Other highlights include a retrospective showing of his work at the historic Cincinnati Art Club where the artist and his celebrated guest, hall-of-fame basketball player Oscar Robertson raised thousands of dollars for inner city children.
The Children's Miracle Network benefited from a charitable appearance by H. Hargrove in New Orleans.
Additionally, H. Hargrove was honored by an invitation to our Nation's Capital by the United States Marines Corps in a special showing of his work at the Pentagon.
Referred to by some as a poet with a brush: by others, as a compelling visual storyteller H. Hargrove has captured the hearts of America for over twenty-five years.
