| BIOGRAPHY: |
| Artist's Statement:
My work concentrates on the examination of cultures through the process of learning. The work develops a thin line of ambiguity through abstraction, it has allowed me to study in detail, the various complex forms, colors and verbs that can belong to a specific culture. The paintings, drawings, and installations therefore are documentations or notation of this research. The approach can alter from one study to another in order to give each form or verb a particular identity. This is intentional so the viewer can acknowledge the picture as individual studies of iconography within a culture, possibly attaching anthropomorphism to each particular form. Therefore, it is very important to see the work as a classification of individuals that justifies the structure of that study. Giving each form, mark, color, line, dimension of surface, and plastic surface (medium) an identity allows me to dictate a personality to these “character forms” that are created by means of hybrids of cultures. My interest lies in proposing a “language” but not explaining one. This process shaped a narrative quality to the work, almost the feeling of a stage, where I am the puppeteer. My professional goals are aimed at being able to show my “notations” to as many people as possible in an attempt to learn more about myself and society and to hopefully teach something in the process.

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| Born in Oklahoma City into a tradition of painting, my parents provided me with the tools and education I needed to fulfill my artistic destiny.
My first memory of life was on my third birthday. I received an artist's smock embroidered with my initials and an easel.
I was encouraged by my art instructors through out high school. I attended OSU on the freshman portfolio scholarship. It was then that I discovered my passion for painting and recognized that this was my life. I won the Anna Hyatt Huntington Bronze Medal from the Catherine Wolfe Lorrilard Women's Club in NYC for a mono-print and began to show my work.
After my junior year I was awarded the Goldston Apprenticeship and traveled to New York to intern for the oldest and most prestigious print shop in the United States, Universal Limited Art Editions. I had the opportunity to work under the direction of Bill and Larissa Goldston and our country's most talented and innovative Master Printmakers. I went to museums every weekend, met the modern artists who still influence my work and traveled to Europe to experience the cradle of modern art. I enjoyed being part of ULAE's creative environment for 7 years.
After a once in a lifetime experience in NY I decided it was time to work on my own work and moved to Fort Collins, CO the summer of 2002 to get my MFA from CSU. The program is dictated by the individual and allows artists to find their own way. Time there allowed me to explore and combine different mediums. I have always used a circular form as a vehicle for mediums and color expression, but I was pushed into finding my own reasons for utilizing this universal symbol.
Now I am still fortunate enough to live in Fort Collins and participate in our burgeoning art or incident scene. I am looking for gallery representation and enjoying painting on my front porch in the banana climate of the front range. I am an avid music fan (Widespread Panic dominates my studio) and NPR or the BBC is my news source.
My most recent love is going back to Altus, OK for the month of June to be the Painting/Drawing Liaison for the Oklahoma Arts Institute. Very talented high school students come from across the state to participate in an intensive studio environment in 10 different disciplines. The faculty is the best in the United States.
I try to paint what is on the back of my eyelids. Only recently I learned that not everyone has constant active images when they close their eyes. I was disappointed, but knew that not everyone had this privilege.
I show my viewers the workings of my mind. Cells contain memories that become effected over time in many ways from many things. Through repeated kinetic circular motions I paint what I believe my memories or experience of a forgotten emotion would look like captured by physical cells from my brain under a microscope. Possibly the cells/ membranes are adjusted by time or mutated by experience. Enjoy my show. |

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| "I am. The shortest complete sentence in the English language. Who, is where things get interesting. Who am I? I am the beauty and darkness of the world escaping into the streets while the world wages its campaign of chaos. I am the surviving trauma of birth into a land of light and noise. My art is a reflection of pain and joy. The circle that is both separated and united. I am the strange kid from school; I am the person you would least expect me to be. I am an art junkie ready to fix. I am the torture of obsession. I am a figment of your imagination. I am the creative mad scientist electroshocking my monsters to life. I am the pilot of my destiny. I am lost hope and broken promises. I am sorrow processed and refined. I am Joseph, nice to meet you."

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| I am a painter from Rockford, Illinois. I have been drawing since I was two and have been interested in everything creative for as long as I can remember. For the most part I've currently been involved in oil painting, watermedia, pen and ink, and pencil drawing. My influences are diverse, from expressionism to art nouveau, to the surrealists and back to the masters. I want to know everything and then just let whatever falls out of me form my style. Personal style to me is paramount to my work. I've been called an 'expressive-realist', and I suppose that that's as close as anything to descibing what I do. I work hard and believe that part of art is work- the other part being that elusive quality we call inspiration, or the creative spark, or soul, or whatever that divine thing that happens in an artist when he or she is in the fury should be called. Combining that essence with the skill and craftsmanship honed and developed over years of work and practice, trial and error, is what makes art. It's not easy, but then neither is life. If it was easy it wouldn't matter.
While my original work is of course my primary focus, I am also an often commissioned portrait painter. I promise in my work to capture a very exact likeness of my subject, but my work is never 'mechanical'. I have to be expressive to do what I do, and my goal or drive has never been to recreate a photograph or a snapshot of life, but rather a feeling, a rememberance. I aim to show an audience things that they've seen already, but while giving them the feeling that they are seeing something new, with the emotive qualities so important with anything visual that has an impact. If interested, please visit my <a href="http://www.keelanmcmorrow.com/">website.</a>
Other than my painting I am usually involved in some kind of musical project. I love music deeply, and have played in a few bands, mostly in the punk rock realm. I like to play with animals as well. I've appeared on several CDs and records. I read a ton, about nearly everything- I love good literature but I read alot of nonfiction work, from history to philosophy and everything in between. I write alot, having published a little prose and poetry. I've won awards for my painting and drawing, but also for sculpting. I was even on a snow-sculpting team once- winning two years in a row. I love to learn, about all that I can in life; I like to cook, and get lost in the woods. I've hiked in the mountains and I will again. I love to travel, stopping in little tiny towns and acting like I'm a local. I like saving damsels in distress. I walk around everywhere to every place that I go, and if I'm not walking, I ride swiftly down the streets on my black and trusty, chrome and rusty Schwinn beach cruiser. These days I call Madison, Wisconsin, home and I like it okay. |

|
 |
| BIOGRAPHY: |
| Born in Arecibo, PR in 1975
David Acevedo has been intrigued by the strange and by the things that stand out since he was very young. His interest in art came at the tender age of four when he would sit down for hours analyzing, page by page, an old illustrated bible that he found in a closet. After that, drawing and coloring books became an obsession to him. His sisters keep some of his first illustrations of imaginary characters and other drawings like treasures.
He then discovered the world of comic books and for years he practiced copying the shapes of their bodies and analyzing the details and colors. He developed a kin eye for proportion and color. This influence is noticeable in his work today. Bold dark lines framing colorful images are a trademark in his pieces.
At seventeen years of age he decided to forge his parent’s signature in the College application and was accepted in the Humanities Department, Visual Arts Program of the University of Puerto Rico in the city of Mayagüez. There was a reason why his parents disapproved of his decision: money. Moving to Mayagüez meant finding a place to live, money for college, books, meals and all of the unexpected. For David, being accepted in such prestigious university was too big of a chance to miss. Luckily, the Pell Grant and other financial aids helped him reach his goal and his professional art education took off. He graduated Cum Laude in 1998.
Since then, many things have happened. He moved to San Juan, Puerto Rico a year or so after graduation. He found representation in a couple of galleries and started producing his unique pieces in a small studio/custom frame shop he shared with his partner Xavier Brignoni. Meeting Xavier was one of the best things that happened in his career as an artist. Xavier understood art and knew how to deal with people. He owned his own custom framing business and was pretty well known in the San Juan area. They both formed a solid team and little by little people started noticing David’s work.
The unexpected happened and in the year 2000 David was offered a job in a place called Fort Myers, Florida. It was a great opportunity and a chance to secure a future. After much consideration, he decided to leave his beloved island and move to an unknown environment where he struggled for some time missing everyone and everything back home. Again, luck struck and Xavier decided to move to Fort Myers and they both began their lives together in the main land.
Although the custom framing business was never reestablished, David dedicated himself to paint every chance he could. A demanding job took most of his time and energy, but he pushed through never leaving his passion aside.
Little by little and with the help of his loyal partner, David has developed into a well known artist in the South West Florida area. His website, established in 2002, helped him reach out to collectors in cities like New York, Miami and others as well as countries like Canada and Spain. He opened his professional studio in Fort Myers, FL in 2007 and since then has been dedicated to create and promote his and other artists’ work with opening receptions and other events. Thanks to the studio, David has been blessed with the chance to support other organizations such as the Abuse and Counseling Treatment Centers of SW FL and the non-profit group Long Term Impact Through the Gift of Hope and Treatment (L.I.G.H.T.) as well as local schools by donating pieces for auctions and other fund raising events. He has been featured in magazines and newspapers always reaching out with a message of support for the arts and culture. He has had many individual and collective exhibitions in different cities of the Unites States.
David Acevedo has established himself as a solid artist and a fighter, winning Visual Artist of the Year at the Lee County's Angel of the Arts Awards in 2009. He is focused in the promising future of his new home town and will keep working in different projects and proposals to help the local art scene grow to its maximum potential.

âField For The British Isles,ÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃ¢Ã¢ââ¬Ã
¡ÃâÃÂ¬ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡Ãâàwith Anthony Gormley.
When awarded a European Union Drawing Bursary, I was invited to Munich to produce and exhibit new work. This lead to an interest in combining film and video with painting and soundwork.
I spent three years immersed in ÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃ¢Ã¢ââ¬Ã

âElectronic ArtÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃ¢Ã¢ââ¬Ã
¡ÃâÃÂ¬ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡Ãâàbut returned to Fine Art five years ago.
I have been self employed as an artist since 2005.

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| R.L. Gibson is a 36 year-old, nationally-shown artist and happily-married mother of one working and “living on vacation” on top of a mountain in Tennessee with work in galleries from New York to Texas. Gibson is currently working on her newest xerography series Pieces of Me.
Gibson works, almost exclusively as a xerographist, producing complicated layered compositions and then hand-transferring these images to a variety of substrates resulting in a unique monotype. Xerography, as a medium, has neither a standard place in institutional art instruction nor a documented developmental history. Gibson has spent years refining her hand-palatted technique. The “skips” are not flaws but the unique result of the process. |

| Sergei Petrov |

 |
| BIOGRAPHY: |
| The subtle, meditative images of Sergei Petrov's art reveal little about specific place or time although they were taken in many countries over a period of 20 years.
Born in Moscow in 1953, Sergei Petrov graduated from the elite Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. His professional photographic career started in 1978 when Sergei left his position as a researcher in the Soviet defense industry and began working for leading Russian publishing houses. He photographed sculpture and paintings in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow and the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg.
In 1981 Sergei Petrov became a dissident, first coming to international attention in 1982 when he spent 50 days on a hunger strike trying to win permission to emigrate. While unable to leave the Soviet Union, Sergei completed a number of assignments for western magazines including Architectural Digest, Discover, New York Times Magazine, and Le Figaro. His photo journalistic work, critical of the old Soviet regime, appeared in The Washington Post and The New York Times. His image "The Lady on Red Square," became the symbol of a stagnant Soviet regime and was featured on NBC's Today show and in many magazines and newspapers.
In 1988 an "in absentia" exhibition of his work was opened at the State Department in Washington DC by former US Secretary of State George Shultz. The following year Sergei was finally permitted to leave the Soviet Union, the culmination of years of sustained pressure from the US Government and, in particular, President Reagan and the US Ambassador to Moscow Arthur Hartman and his wife Donna.
His art was featured in American Photographer and The Washington Post Magazine. In 1991 the Corcoran Gallery of Art purchased his work.
Over the last decade, Sergei has successfully pursued his passion for art photography while working at the cutting edge of information technology and computer science.
