Julie Landa
Website After taking a long break from working in a variety of places, doing everything from art for clothes to running art departments to creating commercial fine art at one of the biggest and most well known American Companies, I needed a change. I went back to school for Dental Technology. The skills I learned reminded me of how much I loved making things and creating art. I loved the process and decided I was back where I should be. I started making art again and making jewelry as I learn. There is a fresh quality to everything I am doing, even when revisiting pieces I worked on years ago. This is the dream I have always had, where I can survive and spend my days making things and being creative. The most important aspect of this dream is that it shapes my world, shown in my creations. It helps carve out my path, which I may deviate from, but ultimately come back to every time I may lose my way. I have matured and with that, my work is maturing as well. |

Today I spend time in my studio pushing paint across a canvas as the early morning light breaks through the windows and am still inspired by my dreams and the simplicity of creating from the heart. |

Lisa Somers Website I'm a native New Yorker, born and raised in Brooklyn, with a passion for all art. I’m a wife to the most amazing man who inspires, encourages, and supports me in all of my creative ventures. I’m also a mother to a beautiful soul who’s my motivation, and at times my mentor, even at her tender age. Watching her grow into a young woman reminds me that having courage and self-confidence is all you need to follow your dreams. She’s also a young artist whose medium is special effects and glamour makeup. My daughter keeps me grounded and pushes me to post my work even when I think it's my worst painting because she sees the beauty in all. They are my everything. My artistic obsessions run wild in heavy textures; layers and deep moody chroma. I rarely know where I'm going when I start a new piece, but I follow my intuition and let it guide me. I’m self-taught and my goal is to sell my original paintings to those who share in my vision and can feel the emotion in each of my creations. |

Krupa Sourirajan
My name is Krupa Sourirajan and I am a junior in High school. I am an aspiring artist who enjoys art and hope to continue it for the rest of my life! I have taken a variety of Honors level classes and AP ART at my high school. My love for art started when I was two and was introduced to the intriguing world of Crayola crayons and construction paper. Ever since then I would mindlessly scribble on papers and, if I was feeling a little risky, on walls as well. Around Kindergarten, I had my first official art class at school. My mind was blown as the art room was filled with all of the supplies I could have ever imagined and more. Since then, I have been drawing and creating nonstop and my love for art continues. |

Enrique Zaldivar Fine Arts
Website Holguin, Cuba. July 22, 1988. Currently lives in New Jersey, United States. Enrique Zaldivar is a cuban painter and illustrator based in the United States, graduate of the Professional Academy of Fine Arts "El Alba" in Holguin, Cuba.To date he has done several solo and group shows. His works appear in private collections, institutions and corporations throughout the United States and also transcended the borders to countries like Canada, Mexico, Spain, France, Italy, Dominican Republic, Peru and Cuba. Zaldivar's paintings are characterized by the presence of nature in general from where he takes his main inspiration, but not to copy it, but to transform it through his eyes Aesthetic and philosophical themes, such as the banal and the transcendent, the common and the exotic, the beauty and the ugly, life and death, good and evil, are a constant for him. Each painting is a way of reflecting life in its wide spectrum of situations. He is always in constant search for experimentation with different techniques and visual forms. All works has a common thread but at the same time each work is different and we foresee a great sense of intuition, spontaneity and creativity. Acrylic, watercolor, drawing, collage, art print and photography are the techniques with which Enrique interacts without preference. We see in his works an intense and particular use of color, with a conscious use of complementary colors to create harmony and balance, although also in an opposite way we can see monochrome works, high contrasts, with a tendency to illustration and graphic work. His influences are very diverse as, Impressionism, Cubism, Abstraction, Surrealism and Pop Art. |
