| I always admire the strength of the women who work with me to create art that features not only their beauty and intensity, but also their power, energy and courage. I make images of strong naked women because there is nothing else in the world that I like as much. It’s not even close.
Spent too long allowing art to be secondary in my daily life. It has been front and center for the last five years, although my production started much earlier. |

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| Tiffany Blake Stone has had a love of all things artistic since childhood, when her mother took her to all sorts of exhibitions and performances. She loved to go over to her grandmother's house and raid the activity cabinet designated hers and filled with crayons and markers and scissors and glue and all sorts of papers.
Stone graduated with a BFA in Studio Art from Shorter College in Rome, Georgia. She originally entered as a Psychology major but changed her major when she realized that all those "you-can't-survive-with-a-degree-in-art" rumors weren't true. Her most rewarding experiences have been working with artists to set up exhibition spaces and curating shows to help promote local talent.
After spending 21 years in southern suburbia, Stone wanted to see more of the world and has since lived in New England, Europe, California and now Atlanta with her amour, Amar, and their two dogs. She enjoys all forms of creativity, including cooking, dance and music, but her passion is painting, which materializes on canvas and through makeup artistry.

| Born in Schwaz / the Tyrol / Austria and grew up in a quite creative family. At the age of 8 , my father , himself a very accomplished artist, started my artistic education . He introduced me to some drawing techniques and to see details others cannot see ! all my knowledge about art was passed on to me from my father. But it is indisputable, that my artistic talent, inheritedfrom my father, is an natural talent that 's very rare. So I was told.
I've been a professional full-time artist since 1986 who is working to create a large and valued body of work in my life time.

| Christina Gyulafia |
| myartspace id:cmig |
|
 |
| BIOGRAPHY: |
| Christina Gyulafia has found beauty in death. Her way of seeing life after death as a new beginning that creates change is the root of her inspiration. She looks to painting as a visual language where the image is just a tool; through practice she has captured the vulnerability of living beings.
We experience life going from illusionment to a drive for knowledge and discovery growing and growing into a state of abundance resulting in neo-illusionment. It is the feeling rather than logic of growing that Gyulafia works with. By selecting a smaller canvas she invites the viewer into an intimate space where they are allowed to feel the works up close.
In this family of work each piece carries with it a place in emotional study that conveys a moment in time. We come from different places, have separate identities. Be it mundane or overwhelming synchronicity the pieces mysteriously give back to the viewer saying "I love you get away from me" and "I love you stay".
Art needs to be seen, but for many process and invention is private. There is a process in Gyulafia's work magnifying the core, ripping out the heart and sometimes dancing. In these small works we are not given the opportunity to forget.

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| I started painting when I was sixteen and was very inspired by the pre-raphealites. I spent alot of time in the Worcester Art Museum, and Boston Museum in Massachusetts. My outside interests included Astronomy and Science Fiction so it was a natural progression to take into painting this subject matter.
I started to work at a planetarium, and did alot of work for other planetariums ie: Fitchburg, MA - Baltimore - Washngton - Philadelphia. I also started to exhibit at regional and world Science Fiction Conventions where I made contacts into the publishing industry. From there I have done alot of book, magazine and trading card illustration in that genre.
I am featured in "Dark Dreamers" facing the masters of fear by Beth Gwinn and Stan Wiater. This book features the likes of Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Clive Barker,H.R. Giger, Christopher Lee, John Carpenter, Wes Craven and Stan Winston.
I will also be featured in "The encylopedia of science fiction" compiled by Jane Frank of Worlds of Wonder. |

|
 |
| BIOGRAPHY: |
| Los Angeles based artist Geoff Mitchell utilizes a wide variety of artistic media and techniques - painting, printmaking, photo-transfer, collage, film and video installation - to create images which transcend the meaning of their individual components, and describe and define a larger experience.
"Mitchell's montage method concerns itself with the accretion of meaning - not just the build up of information, but the generation of new, amplified and modulated sensation. Mitchell's heraldic compositions gain their strength and tension not from the drama inherent in their elements, but from the new drama that emerges from their juxtaposition," writes Peter Frank, curator at the Riverside Museum in Los Angeles and prominent art critic.
Mitchell works exclusively on wood panel, a format which allows him to compose exquisitely smooth and luminous surfaces. Each composition is meticulously and carefully crafted in order to ignite the viewer's imagination, while bearing witness to Mitchell's mastery of his artistic techniques.
Geoff Mitchell has exhibited widely throughout the United States since 1996, and was featured in the Bill Lowe Gallery Atlanta's group exhibition held in March 2007. He has participated in numerous film festivals, and is the recipient of several art awards, including the ATC Curator's Choice Award in Chiago. |

| Danny Powell |
| myartspace id:yalta |
|
 |
| BIOGRAPHY: |
| Danny Powell is a rising Chicago artist who is known for his artistic expressions that draw from his deep roots in philosophy, psychology, world history, and symbolism. Powell believes that "Art cannot be taught, it is something that exposes itself to those that are willing and able to encounter and embrace it…that art is about commitment and not formal training.”
Powell's work is intuitive, fiery and expressive, involving bold and unusual color combinations, and blends abstraction and realism. His paintings integrate flowing water based mediums, like india ink and acrylic paint, with dry mediums, like charcoal and pastel, the combination of which solicits a wide range of emotional responses from the viewer.
He studied at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the late 1990s where he benefited from viewing the museum’s collection on a daily basis. It was here he developed a strong interest in painting from the 1940s and 1950s, which became critical in his development as a painter. An encounter with the painting "The Earth is a Man" by Roberto Matta changed his direction entirely. In 1999, his emphasis shifted from portraiture and figure drawing to non-objective abstraction.
Powell's art presents a distinctive visual reality that blends different styles such as Fauvism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism, with elements of Pop and Arte Povera. The work is painterly, organic, and features bright color, with all-over spaced compostitions. One example of this synthesis is a work titled "The Dangerous Limit" created in the summer of 2001. He usually paints at night, (studio photos) when the energy feels right under artificial light or with candles. The abstract work is meant to be experienced on a subconscious, visceral level, and connect the viewer to possible buried emotions. It is not literal and does not attempt to appear rational. Powell’s painting is alive and pulsating, mysterious, paralleling his perception of life.
In 2006, Danny co-founded the Chicago based artist collective known as the Infidel Group with the poet Jono Tosch (creator of the Idiot Hero). The goal of the group is uniting Chicago's artists and public through laid-back exhibitions in comfortable alternative spaces. The group members work collaboratively to put on unique events that feature artwork and live music in a welcoming and positive atmosphere. Infidel Group strives for rooted community based events, partnering with both local businesses, and community focused international organizations, to share the benefit of exposure. Modeled in the vein of art groups of the early 1900s such as Die Brücke, Infidel Group members share an enthusiasm for engagement, professionalism and balance amongst contemporary artists.

 |
| BIOGRAPHY: |
| Born in Cape Town, Ribton spent part of his child hood accompanying his father (a keen amateur wildlife photographer) on trips to various National Parks in Sourthern Africa. He is self-taught and after a few years in advertising he became a freelance illustrator working mainly for agencies, the Reader's Digest and various publishing houses.
He had his first exhibition in 1974 - Landscapes and Seascapes of the Cape and has had numerous one-man and joint exhibitions since then. In 1983 he became fascinated by the similarities of patterns in natural objects - in clouds, foam, rockfaces, bark, moss and plumage. He had a super-realist exhibiton on this theme in 1984. He specialised in portraiture from 1985 and has received several important private and public commissions. In 1993, following an enthusiastic response to his 'Black Eagle on Mountain Top' (the work went to Hong Kong after an exhibition at the Hout Bay Gallery), he turned to painting wildlife full time.
He has travelled extensively for accurate reference material through all the major game parks in South Africa. His work has been purchased by local, national and international buyers. He has also exhibited successfully at the Christie's Wildlife Auction in London. He believes that wildlife art has a vital role to play in raising awareness of the desperately precarious state of our natural environment and that its increasing popularity is connected with an often unconscious yearning for nature and the wilderness which is locked up within the soul of industrialised humanity. This was a phenomenon described most eloquently by the late Sir Laurens van der Post (with whom the artist corresponded). |

| Robert Ferguson took his first black and white serious photograph on a 4X5 Speed Graphic while a high school student at Mentor High School in Ohio in 1960. He sold his first photograph three years later to a national magazine thus launching a career of forty years-plus in one form of photography or another. His has produced photographs for magazines, newspapers, and wire services. He has won local, state and national awards for his work. He has lectured on the subject at Texas Christian University, University of Iowa, New Mexico State University, and the University of Texas at El Paso. He continues to be active in digital photography as well as the traditional film process. Recently, he joined Artwanted.com and has thoroughly enjoyed reviewing and seeing today's images from AW members from all over the world. "The impressive body of work in photography marches forward producing images, as demonstrated by AW's members both amateur and professional alike, that we could only dream about in the good old days." He said. He has been drawing and painting almost as long as he has produced photography. He studied fine arts at Youngstown State University where his work appeared in not only student shows but at the Cleveland Museum of Art and Butler Art Institute. He also did illustrations for newspapers, magazines and has sold thirty five paintings to individual collectors.

| Artist's Statement
We are all artists. The artist is there, awaiting release.
Two things — the hidden artist in all of us and a reverence for all things — guide me as woodworker, sculptor, painter, writer and even in previous lives (biomedical engineer and physicist). The materials I work with (wood, metal, stone and some synthetics) react to me just as I react to them, a reciprocity of reverence. If I see the beauty in a piece of wood, that beauty resonates, growing more magnificent. Wood may not “talk” back but it lets me know how to use it, how to show its best characteristics. These moments of communication are the photosynthesis of my art: the foundation energy that sustains me. Technique, that element somewhat akin to wisdom, comes only when the artist's soul is firmly attached to pen, brush, knife or chisel. Like great improvisational jazz, each brush or chisel stroke is another “note” waiting to be realized. This circle from artist to reverence to materials to tools and back to artist, is an infinite loop. Its driving energy may be the artist, or Mother Nature may be that engine since all elements of tools/artist/materials are hers. Ulysses said, “I am a part of all that I have known.” Quantum physics says the same. Does the artist create the art, or vice versa? When I work with wood, fabricating sculpture or furniture, I am just a tool of Nature holding a tool of steel, feeling my way into my heart and that of a tree.
Certain elements reappear in my work: flowing forms, curves, the contrast of mixed materials (stone and wood, wood and metal, etc.), river imagery and water. 40 years as kayaker and backpacker have certainly added their influence. Wild things, diversity, human insignificance in the universe, all serve as inspiration.
Some characteristic of the materials I work with often sparks an idea: weaving grain of wood, translucency of marble, topographic surfaces of bent metal, spectral colors of paints. The wood for a sideboard made of rare African muninga showed variations in tone that suggested changes in thickness, almost like shadow lines. The design evolved to emphasize those tonal changes. By cutting curves on the surface of otherwise straight pieces of wood, the
structure became both straight and curved, like the wood, and like the tree.
Another project evolved from familiarity with substance. I used to build kayaks from fiberglass. Resins used in fiberglass are translucent like the water on which those boats ride. In a spruce coffee table, tall lamp and door I built flowing inlay of glowing, blue resin — water floating in wood, a reversal of expectations.
My work, then, is born in the unconscious, heated in the forge of mind, fueled by a life of observation, and tempered by the heart. |
