Ada Potter's photography often deals with an empty setting, devoid of human beings but marked by their presence. Her Home Movies series deals with empty, western landscapes punctured by seemingly abandoned dwellings. Ada attended Barnard College where she studied art history and studio art. She is currently working at the Parrish Art Museum while continuing her own studio practice at home in Brooklyn, NY .

Adrien Siberchicot is a French artist based in Sweden, where he is currently finishing his MFA at Valand School of Fine Arts, Gothenburg.

Image-oriented, his work develops through installations, videos and images a certain idea of tourism. This idea is the result and the departure of an ongoing investigation exploring the surface of social, historical and political phenomena. Thus, tourism is a way to explore this surface, an already made aesthetic form, working with images, clichés as well as personal emotions along the journey.

Alenna Marie Sandy is a self taught mixed media and collage artist. Her style of work explores the dreamlike, dark and nostalgic elements of the past as well as present. Utilizing vintage ephemera, she attempts to create a sense of continuum with the past, and her interests lie in exploring the individual’s connectedness with history, whether conscious or not. Undercurrents of humor and a nod to pop culture also infiltrate her work. Any medium is up for grabs as she creates her pieces, from latex paint to keys to layers of charcoal drawings. Alenna has shown work around the country and internationally, and has lived and worked in Chicago for the past 10 years.

Andrea Lantz is based in Richmond, Virginia where she pursues art as a means to rebalance the right side of her brain after long days of left brained labor in the corporate world.

She primarily enjoys painting and photography with occasional detours into sculpture. Andrea studied watercolor painting with Shelly Bechtel-Shepherd and has exhibited in group shows in the Richmond area. She uses photography as a creative outlet while on business trips where painting is impractical, although she has been known to attempt painting watercolors on the tray table of a Boeing 777 during trans-oceanic flights.

I have a number of non-art-related business interests. I have always had a parallel interest in art. I have exhibited regularly and held one and two man shows.

1. July 2009 Official exhibiting artist at Grassington Arts Festival in North Yorkshire .
2. April 2010 Solo exhibition at BBC Lancashire Studios.
3. May 2011 Forbo: Art on Floors, Clerkenwell Design Week

In the mid 1990's, after exhibiting at Lancaster City Museum, I was invited to join the group of artists who brought the Storey Gallery, Lancaster back into regular use. I subsequently became Chair of this artist group and pushed through the transition from voluntary group to Limited Company with charitable status. The gallery has recently completed a major refurbishment and has become a central part of the Storey Creative Industries Centre.

I have had a number of images published. My work is included in the Habitat.co.uk and Dwell.co.uk canvas art collection. In 2007 I started to incorporate digital processes into my art. These have now become an important part of my creative process. As a mature student I have qualified up to degree level in ICT and regularly undertake new ICT and Digital Art related courses. I also have a long standing interest in the internet. I regularly sell my work around the world via the Internet. My work has been featured on most of the well known art websites.

I got my bachelors degree in Fine Art from DeMontfort University, Leicester, UK, and and my MA in Sculpture from the Winchester School of Art, Southampton University, in Winchester, UK. After graduating from my masters I returned to Greece and joined the experimental theater group Fractals, which helped shifting my practice towards performance and interactive installations. At the same time, I started teaching art at the foundation and vocational school level. After teaching for three years I got the Greek State Scholarship for studies abroad and decided to pursue an MFA in Fine Arts and Technology at the New York Institute of Technology. I am currently in my second year of study and my work is concerned with the perception of space in relation to human presence.

I am driven by an almost obsessive need to document. I journal constantly and find that photography and filmmaking offer me absorbing avenues for documenting my world—a world in which there is a strange and gentle beauty in things overlooked, abandoned, outdated, rejected or shabby. Weather-beaten, timeworn subjects remind me to live in the moment and to feel deep appreciation and gratitude for this gift called life.

As a photographer I find that my images are often abstract, and sometimes impressionistic. Behind the camera my intent is always to enter into the energy and spirit of what is happening in front of the lens, and to let it the subject share its own story.

Born in Liverpool England in 1963, Carl now lives in Kent and works from his London based studio near to London Bridge ’s colourful food emporium of Borough Market.

Having worked as a photographer in the advertising business for 25 years Carl stumbled on the idea of making landscapes out of food just over ten years ago and these ‘Foodscapes’ have now brought him world wide acclaim for his very own unique and individual art form.

This has led not only to many commissions for international clients such as Nestle, Unilever and General Mills, but also to a publishing deal with Abrams books which saw the launch of his first book ‘Carl Warner’s Food Landscapes’ in November 2010.

His work has been used in children’s hospitals, childhood obesity clinics, by nutritionalists and many other good causes to promote better eating habits in both children and adults.

Carl is has now completed his second book ‘A World of Food’ which will be for children and will feature poems which are also written by Carl, he is now starting to exhibit his work around the world to audiences both young and old who enjoy the ‘pleasant deception’ of his imagery and the escape to his gastronomic paradise.

Claire Accardo is an artist, jewelry designer and purveyor of vintage goods living in Richmond, Virginia. Her work focuses on using vintage, salvaged, repurposed and found materials. In addition to jewelry, she also likes to work in collage and mixed media, and has recently enjoyed developing her process digitally for time-based work. One of Claire's pet peeves is when there is still lots of lip gloss left in the tube, but the wand can’t reach it. She has been known to procrastinate from time to time. She is happiest when she is making things.

Claudia Lynch has enjoyed a multifaceted career as theatrical costume designer, tutu-maker, milliner, author, publisher, artist and illustrator. Each detailed painting in her ShoeStories series is accompanied by an original story, loaded with witty puns and clever innuendo, narrated by a hard-boiled skirt chaser right out of a 1940’s detective novel. Exaggerated proportions make each heel impossibly high and impossibly sexy. Right away, you’re in the mood to surrender to every tongue-in-cheek double meaning in the otherwise innocent words. Claudia relishes the variety of each new day, completing projects as varied as corporate brochures, fashion illustrations for a sewing magazine, and faux Andy Warhol prints for a film. She lives in New Orleans, LA.

By Any Other Name is a conceptual billboard artwork by CP/DF Projects. The creative duo of CP/DF Projects is: Christopher Poehlmann taking care of the photography and graphics and Danny Fiedler supplying the concept and wordsmithing. Poehlmann is based in Philadelphia, PA and Fiedler lives in Milwaukee, WI. Even when the duo lived in the same city and saw each other quite frequently, their CP/DF Project work was almost always carried on through email exchange, whereas their one on one face time should probably have been filmed for a comedic reality series and work was rarely if ever accomplished.

I am an artist and reside in Los Angeles. I live in Koreatown, a very busy and diverse neighborhood. I have lived in California the majority of my life. I am a printmaker and I also draw.

I work in series. In each series my goal is to exhaust an initial idea. Each series is based on a premise and has a set of guidelines that dictates how each of the pieces within the series should be created. These rules could be scale, materials, number of pieces in the series, color, and/or a sequence of steps that need to be taken to complete each piece. Each piece created within the series is finished if it meets the guidelines initially stated for how it might be made but also questions the rules.

Born in Laredo, TX, a border town, my work is largely absent of the Hispanic political and cultural issues popular in the South Texas region, instead focusing on the politics of human behavior and experience. Specifically I am interested in human negotiation behavior. Since childhood I have been interested in "big-picture" ideas. I create abstracted narratives, exploring formal construction in pursuit of conceptual expression. While I often create traditional paintings, I have recently been using billboard context to address the issue of art consumption.

Born in South Carolina in 1982, David Marion found his artistic gift at a very young age. He went on to pursue a degree of Architecture at Hampton University after being convinced to try another avenue into which he could incorporate his love for art. While working within his profession, he continued to create art and decided that the time was right to pursue it more heavily as a secondary career.

As an artist, David Marion draws inspiration from his own life experiences and tries to make a statement with every piece that he creates. Art has become a platform to voice his views of the world and also tell his story.

Fred Alvarado lives along side a mini-junk yard where his neighbor works on old cars and small boats. Four blocks away from the Fruitvale BART, the tiny neighborhood that he lives in exist between train tracks, the 880 freeway and various industrial businesses. A couple of weeks ago Fred found a part of the neighborhood he had never been too. He remembers thinking, “It is great to find something new in the familiar.” After 8 years of living in East Oakland, he is considering moving to West Oakland. Fred is an interdisciplinary artist working with communities through out the San Francisco, Bay Area.

Where we were, I can’t remember to tell. Waking life and dream had entangled themselves in a horrid love affair, penetrating and spilling into each other with a frothy, sick passion that mimicked the incessant violation of the sea water which rolled and spewed over us, bruised the ribs of the ship and tossed her white sail of surrender mercilessly side to side. But as to the time of day, it must have been early afternoon. I know because the sun lit her so; white needles along which strode iridescent spiders encircled her face, the wax-grey sky sank away from the rigid confidence of her skin, ah, my friend, I tell you it was her: Gerri Davis. Perhaps she had stowed away in the bowels of that faithless whore of a ship who then seemed hell-bent on retching us into the crimson graces of the waiting sleeper sharks. Or perhaps the screams of our salt-splintered death rasps had borne unto the heavens a chorus so pitiful that the Jade Emperor himself dipped a finger through the sky and drew her to us. It may be so. Even as the keel split mountains of water below us she stood as a flower growing defiant against the wind, and turning then strode to the wheel and took her hard to port. I swear to you friend, that scull did miraculous wrench from her terrible cause and deliver us somehow free. Against the perilous charge of the Furies we sailed for days until the shores of Saint Laurence tumbled the belly of the ship and we fell aground, bending to kiss the sand. And where was Gerri Davis? Gone by then, sir, gone by then.

Jason Sayner is an architect, sculptor, and artist currently residing in Carrboro, NC. His process of making has been described as more akin to choreography – combining elements of the engineer, the architect, the artist, and the poet.

His creations span the scale of human interaction, from designs for 8 story ground-up condo buildings (traditional architecture) to installation artwork and furniture design. Every idea that he captures in built form showcases his ability to create works that weave a fine tapestry of artistic, programmatic, site, and human elements.

In over 14 years of his artistic practice, Jason has created work for many types of clients (Oakley, Nokia, and Disney to name a few) and has built projects in over 10 states, including Hawaii and Puerto Rico, in addition to London, UK. His creations have been featured in numerous national publications, including the NY Times, Architecture Record Online, and Las Vegas Magazine.

I started with drawings, writings, and music. It was not until I was almost finished with high school that I found my preferred medium, photography.

There was something magical when I first learned to work in a darkroom. There was beauty of reality that photographs created and a beautiful lie. I have been searching for my voice through photography, and use of titles. Photography can be real and fictional. I strive to search for truth in a world that feels like a dream.

I strive to understand life through my art and philosophy. My work encompasses philosophical beliefs that I use to understand this insane world. In photography, I strive to create work that has a painterly look and feel.

Painting was a frequent joy as a child growing up in Wales, and I dreamed of becoming a skyscapist. In 1995, I came to Southern California, and the vastness of the spaces rekindled that childhood love affair with the skies.

In 2001, I had an opportunity to work on photography skills. Five months later, I was having difficulty getting my mind off one particular photograph I had taken. I had an epiphany: “Now, you have to paint!” The sky remains the major influence in my work.

2002-2004: Studied in extension classes and a teaching studio.

Developed a studio practice, first working in watercolor, then moving to acrylics, murals, oils, mixed media and watercolor collage and differently shaped surfaces and objects.

Jennifer Claudio is a Filipino-American mixed media artist and illustrator whose work is inspired by memory, both subjectively and objectively. Her interests in cartoons, videogames, fantasies and nightmares recalled from her childhood and adulthood urge her to depict them both lovingly and, sometimes, resentfully. It's a strange love/hate relationship with her nostalgia.

Claudio empirically explores various mediums to create her bodies of work, free from restriction. While she favors markers and inks, her usual mediums also include charcoal, paper, wood, cardboard, "throw-aways" and electronic media.

As of 2011, she currently works in the San Francisco Bay Area in California, CA.

Karen Schumacher was born January 31, 1985 in Santiago, Chile. She grew up in the country with her family, and this forged her imagination, conformed by animals, colors and personifications of shared scenes of family and wild life.

She studied Fine Arts with a specialization in Graphics in the University for Arts and Social Sciences in Chile, and after receiving her degree, she studied Art and teaching at the same University, where she graduated with honors. She works as a guide in the Museum of National Fine Arts of Chile, convinced that this is a way to shorten the link between Fine Arts and spectators, a familiar angle on her plastic work.

Los Angeles native Karrie Ross, fine artist, shares her explorations into concepts of energy, science, participation, conversations and being seen, as the underlying influences of her art. Abstract representations that create a 'safe' place for the viewer to experience a flow and connection from their interaction with the art... discovering that they are part of a bigger whole. She poses to you a question... "What is YOUR energy telling the world?" and invites you to join with and experience hers in the art she creates.

Hello! My name is Kiyomi and I have been an exhibiting artist since the 1990s. Over the years, I developed an ability to create spontaneously and experiment with unconventional techniques.

I choreograph a dance between transparent vs. opaque layers, traditional and non-traditional materials, and fine art supplies with electronics.

My current body of work incorporates printmaking, hand-marbled paper and water-based paint on acrylic plastic. The back layer is video or lights. I created these because I want the viewer to EXPERIENCE the piece; to …get lost in it. The shadows and iridescent/metallic qualities allows the art to appear as one thing until you look at it from a different angle. The longer you look, the more you will see!

In my current series, Kwadrilaterals, every oil painting is born from the pain and suffering of living with sickle-cell anemia. Since early childhood my primary coping skill for dealing with my illness has been to create paintings. My life expectancy is short so my paintings, like me, are blunt, vibrant, and full of life. I strive to create work devoid of any reference to the objective world as a means of escapism. The paintings are visual manifestations of my personal and psychological shields. They are fortifications meant to distract most people from ever getting to know my heavily scarred and tortured inner self. They are meant to engage the viewer in ways that I personally cannot. They are meant to portray, solely in a language of color and form, the multiple sides of my personality. All of the hospital rooms where my suffering occurs have been white, sterile, and colorless places. Thus, physically adding strong colors to white surfaces has always been an aspect of painting I have found completely cathartic. My psychological association with white has manifested a strong addiction to color in my work, clothing, and daily life. They are all executed on square canvases, a shape that brings connotations of order, consistency, and stability which are missing aspects of my personal life.

Lacye A. Brown is a Mixed Media Visual artist working in the Atlanta, GA area. As a Mixed Media artist, Brown uses different mediums to create mostly abstract and nonrepresentational art. Her mood directs the piece. Although many pieces may seem random, the composition is always intentional. Brown ignores the social norms that we are taught by society. Society tells us that we should censor ourselves to coexist and repress our reactions towards certain events. She enjoys showcasing cognitive feelings while leaving herself vulnerable to the skeptics of society. Her works show that we all have similar insecurities and vulnerabilities and although not commonly admitted, it is refreshing at times to be able to empathize.

Lauren Evans is a visual artist who works in a variety of techniques including sculpture and digital media. Reoccurring themes include metaphors that depict mental illness, childhood labeling, and control and how society and science perpetuate the stigmas and isolation associated with such suffering. The work frequently deals with the formation of young selves and the incredible difficulties that can be encountered in that process. Combining the apparently innocent objects of youth with items of the everyday world and with text in ways that are evocative of that particularly vulnerable time.

Her work examines the challenges and turmoil that everyone faces throughout life, using visual metaphors for awkwardness, uneasiness, or instability. The newest works include vertical towers of rhinos on mousetraps or trapped in a slinky, and also have a comic aspect. The addition of humor to pathos makes clear that our selves are mosaics of many factors and internal and external influences.

She received her BFA and MFA, with an emphasis in sculpture, at the University of Southern California. She has exhibited nationally and has been included in several public art projects in Los Angeles and San Diego Counties. Lauren teaches sculpture, design, and art appreciation at College of the Desert and Los Angeles Southwest College .

Mr. Mayers describes his latest works as digital impressionism, and is considered by many to be one of the leading futurists in the emerging contemporary art scene of Southern California .

His work incorporates numerous state-of-the-art advances of modern technology, not only in the manner he uses to create his art, but also in the way his art is viewed and experienced. His bold and colorful concepts and works are at the forefront of today’s continually evolving art world.

His final images typically begin as either a concept sketch or digital photographic image, and evolve through the combination of traditional art concepts with advances in modern technology, that were not available to previous generations of artists.

Italian – degree in architecture – string of other qualifications, ranging from nutritional therapy, to horticulture, to health promotion, teaching, motivational interviewing and others – inherited passion from photography from father and grandfather – second artistic love is printmaking – leading a double life as a serious public servant and a committed artist – have been cycling for over 40 years, singing choral music for over 30, living in England for 20 and practicing yoga for 10.

I spend a lot of time looking at things close up, to uncover hidden patterns. Or looking at unremarkable subjects, to try and extract abstract compositions from them. I am interested in the surprising beauty of the ordinary.

My work honors love most of all - I believe that in the end, no matter what else you've done with your life, it's what and how you've loved that defines you. My paintings are acrylic on canvas, some with spackle, crackle medium, silk cord, and in a few cases, sequins or crystals. My studio is in Wayne, NJ, where I live with my completely amazing husband, Patrick, and a rather ridiculous rabbit named Einstein.

Robert James McElwee studied painting and sculpture at William Carey College and holds a Master of Architecture from Tulane University. His fascination with pattern and organization established by underlying patterns or regulating lines began early on in art training and continued into architecture with investigations and analyses of dynamic symmetry.

The current work is the result of subjecting composites, metalized plastics and other media to dynamic forces. The results are spontaneous and chaotic fractures and marks. Internal experiences of stress, time, and disintegration inform both conceptual and physical processes in the work.

In 1993 I graduated from the Columbus College of Art and Design. I started my career in the Printing Industry, as a print shop manager and sign maker. Then came the responsibilities of raising a family, and I set my artistic endeavors aside. For 15 years my paint brushes, camera, and other supplies laid dormant. I did not appreciate the gifts I had and lacked the life experience needed to have something meaningful to communicate through art. In 2008 the doors to my art were re-opened, allowing me to once again pursue my artistic endeavors in the fullness of what I believe God intended. Since then I have won a number of Awards and have shown my works in venues across the country.

Have you ever stared at a cloud and saw shapes and images in them? The images I have created have many layers, and upon further reflection the viewer can see ?hidden images? that were originally unnoticeable. The approach I take with my artwork is very distinct, in that I incorporate numerous photographs into a very unique composition. Utilizing anywhere from six to two dozen images, I try to present the essence of staring at clouds within my own artwork. If you look at the shadow shapes and highlights within the image, other objects will start to take focus.

Seeking Kali is three artists: William Evertson (US), Ria Vanden Eynde ( Belgium ), and Susan Shulman ( Canada ), who in 2010 explored connecting their individual creative processes through social media platforms to create bodies of work involving traditional and non-traditional art forms.

About her work she says: “My palette is bright and bold creating tension and conflict between image and feeling. They contain portraits dealing with relationships, rebirths and metamorphosis. These narratives are a continuous introspective search full of exciting and revealing insights with elements of my personal heritage reflecting the passion of my soul. In my paintings I attempt to maintain the richness of color, still emitting a strangeness of images. My personal myths evolved from the imagination of my subconscious. My magic symbols of fish are a continuous link in all my works."

After graduating with a B.Sc. (Zoology) and B.Ed. (A.D.) the desire to create artistic work became overwhelming. Discovering digital painting programs in the new millennia, I decided to return to my passion. Using Corel Painter 11, an iMac computer and Wacom tablet, I was astounded how realistic the paintings became, especially when utilizing Giclée Printmaking on canvas. I became successful in creating freehand beautiful works of art. Two pieces I painted of shuttle launches, Columbia STS 93 "Launch in the Dark", and Shuttle Atlantis - STS 117 "Power Play", received resounding reviews from NASA - Marshall Space Flight Center, on April 13th, 2011. This resulted in a front page news article in the city paper.
