Anca Barbu is a New York based artist originally from Romania. She is an expressionist, abstract surreal painter and is inspired by the beautiful things in life. Travel and culture inspire her paintings with vibrant colors and optimistic energy. She has been painting since she was a little girl, but has taken art professionally in the last five years. Exposing in many different venues throughout NYC, Anca has been able to set a name for herself and her distinct style of painting. Besides paintings, Anca participates in many live art events where she paints her heart out amongst other artists. The main theme for her paintings are usually women in tropical areas soaking up the sun. Her style of painting is very much inspired by Vincent Van Gogh, whom inspired her every painting. His brush strokes inspires Anca to feel the vibrations of the colors and let her brush do the work. As an inspiring artist, Anca is always looking for her next gallery to expose her new work. Painting is her life and her passion.

Mark Mignogna, one of eight children, was born in Syracuse, NY on November 11th, 1966. HIs first experience with the magic of photography came in the mid 70's via the shutter release of his older sister's "not to be touched" Polaroid One Step.
After moving to New York City in 1989 and holding a couple of short-term jobs Mark began what he in part considers an education in art, that of sixteen years employment in NYC art galleries, as well as freelance work for a number of private dealers, major collectors, artists and art services companies over the years and since 2006. This exposure familiarized him with much of the visual and plastic arts, from Neolithic sculpture to the work of living photography.
Mark continues to use black and white film and produces hand made Gelatin Silver prints in a traditional darkroom using long proven archival methods. He still lives in New York and shoulders the load through what he calls his primary subject: the defiant, obstructive, unyielding, persistent, excessive, flaunting, nonconforming, uncompromising, extravagant, contrary, inappropriate and increasingly odd, yet, abundantly beloved Central Park.

first came to New York as a student at NYU, where her creativity was sparked by the color and varity of Greenwich Village. She quickly made the switch from math to art major. replacing abstract umber crunching with the tactile geometry of scenic design and fine art. As an artist and full time graphic designer she currently works and resides in both Plymouth, MA and New York City.
She finds her subjects in the people, places and animals that inspire her. She portrays them in a light. playful manner, one that is unaffected and open to interpretation. This shines brightest through Staci's colorful drawings, for which she uses hand-fabricated chalk in florescent hues.
In the past, Staci created mosaics, which she loved making because of "their weight, their permanence and the light they reflect." She now translates this form to paper by incorportating the same elements of shape, pattern and texture into her pastel drawings.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
" I use the most brightly colored pastels I can find and finish the drawing with pieces of glass and silver leaf to add shine and texture which gives a unique, individual approach to each piece."

ARTIST STATEMENT:
"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."

"...creativity represents theoretical reflections of experiences occurring in the world around me. It encompasses unique and often repetitive forms that dance with color, balance, rhythm, and personality. The majority of my work starts without a prior concept in mind. The piece develops as my mind instructs my hand on the paint brush. Lines develop into bolder shapes that take on color & balance. I produce flowing forms integrated with energy & movement. Frequently, my work has a sense of spirit flowing within it. Occasionally, my work is premeditated through drawings that stand out to me. I am a colorist. The majority of my paintings & drawings reflect extravagant use of color. I perceive colors which range in varying intensities from high to low and screaming to silent. There is theory of harmony in my artwork, an internal discipline which color and forms are to obey. My creativity and my responsibility to expose it to the world is a powerful purpose in my life..."

Artistic Statement.... Art can be a lot of things, Art is defined by its ability to evoke a reaction in the viewer. It's a test for its creator and intended audience. Art is man's attempt to exist beyond himself while living and beyond.

Was born in Cleveland, Ohio and grew up in Pittsford New York i, now living in Harlem, a downtown boy from the early 1980s is now enjoying the open spaces uptown. John C. Kuchera has been painting and drawing for years, his style is refreshing and enjoyable, he uses many a medium but he likes pen, ink and oils. He loves doing Figurative work but also enjoys what he calls Organic Abstract.

has been painting for over three decades continuously in pursuit of perfecting his talent. Although an alumnus of the School of Visual Arts at the Brooklyn Museum and the Art Students League, it has been mostly self-education and confidence that has guided him from novice to master of his profession. In essence, he attributes life and nature as his best teachers. When not painting the landscapes of Pennsylvania or the seascapes of Long Island, Patrick has most recently been portraying the many facades and moods of New York City, Central Park and their environs. They are depictions of his favorite New York architecture in various seasons rendered in his own Pointillistic- Impressionistic style. In this genre, he often resurrects nostalgic New York scenes that have been long forgotten.
Manhattan Arts magazine called Patrick "the foremost impressionist painter of our century." Also dubbed the "American Renoir", his tendency to transform the prosaic urban scene into something infinitely romantic is evident in his work. His goal with each canvas is to combine nature with the ingenuity of man, specifically as embodied in architecture, thereby creating a peaceful, workable harmony to reflect upon and absorb. Over the years, he has been the recipient of many honors and awards derived from his group and one-man shows. His works are included in numerous corporate and private collections, including the Trumps and Regis Philbin as well as Apple Computer, Citicorp and Panasonic.
Patrick believes in a sincere and direct approach to life and he presents an honesty and truth with an ambiance of tranquility via his paintings. It is his hope and intention with each image that the viewer experiences the serenity and peace he strives earnestly to convey. An editor of Art Speak Magazine, commenting on Patrick's landscapes of Snow in the Woods and Reflecting Waters, stated that Patrick's works offer an entree into the eternal calm and freshness of nature with their scintillating surface of light.
Practicing what he preaches, or paints, Patrick has been actively involved with many charities, donating much time and work. Children worldwide, the elderly, and efforts to conquer aids and cancer have all benefited from his true concern and ensuing actions. Both UNICEF and Tomorrow's Children's Fund regularly feature his artwork on greeting cards to spread joy, beauty and inspiration.
In offering reproductions of his work, Patrick hopes to introduce a wider audience to his painterly manifestations of a world more romantic, nostalgic and caring than the one we currently inhabit. Showing in his unique fashion the special relationships of man, nature and the environment inherited and built, he presents imagery that will inspire you daily. That the reproductions are issued as limited editions provides an investment aspect as well.
