Born in Montreal in 1984, Jihane Mossalim studied fine arts at Dawson College with the goal of becoming a special effects make-up artist. After graduation, she worked in the media industry, both as a special effects and beauty make-up artist. After the birth of her son in 2009, she took some time off to concentrate on painting, with some of her work being shown in group exhibitions in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Chicago. Jihane concentrated on painting childrenâ€&#x;s portraits, trying to capture their unique emotions on canvas. During this time, she became very attached to a young boy, Gasper, that she was painting. Her fondness of him evolved into a series of paintings featuring Gaspar and his friends in various adventures. ''I work mainly from photographs; they are powerful memory triggers and nothing triggers emotions as powerfully as memory do. As an artist I think that's the whole point.''

Mark Lev completed four years at Parsons the New School for Design, and is eager to dive into whatever comes next. He knew he wanted to become an artist since seeing a dinosaur coloring book at age three. Shortly after moving to the US, the first thing he ever saw on TV was a gigantic red robot dragon flying through a lightning storm, set to a shredding 80's metal guitar (he later learned that this was the intro to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers). This is when Mark started to prefer over-the-top theatricality, bizarreness, and some degree of banality in all of the media he consumed. Markâ€&#x;s current mixed-media work is a release of years of built up images and emotional impressions. It is somewhat utopian, but is more reflective of an "inner utopia", or a state of harmony, which he tries to produce in his own mind and express to others. His images are like a "mental collage". They are an extension of whatever psychological state Mark is in as he plays with the materials on paper. He works without planning or editing himself, and his drawings are as dense and intricate as our own thought patterns, as erratic as our media-saturated brains would appear if we could see their contents. The essence of Markâ€&#x;s work is to distill subconscious archetypes and pop imagery into something vaguely familiar but vast and disorienting. The result is a world without context, maybe prehistoric or post-human, with echoes of both the digital and the organic worlds intertwining.

At the age of fifteen Richard moved to the Pacific Northwest where after High School worked as a commercial fisherman in Alaska and also earned a degree in Graphic arts from Western Washington University. By the time he was twenty-one he had moved to New York and began assisting great photographers: Bill King, Helmut Newton, Denis Piel, Robert Mapplethorpe. Warren was twenty-six when he had his first break while living in Milan; a 30 page Couture editorial in Italian Bazaar photographing Valentino, and other top name couture designers. Work continued in Milan and Paris then onto Sydney Australia for Australian Vogue, Follow-Me, Dolly and Australian Harpers Bazaar. In 1990 Warren returned to New York and started a profitable career in fashion photography. T he Fall of 2001 was a set back not only for New Yorkers but for the rest of the world.

While still shooting traditional film on location, Warren has up-to-the minute knowledge of digital workflow from capture to post production with everything being available to clients „in-house‟. Richard Warren currently lives in New York with his wife, two children, a 150-foot English border, which he maintains, and an old Martin 12string guitar, on which he plays Robert Johnson style classic Delta Blues.

With my photography, I strive to capture the unguarded instances in the day -to - day life of ordinary people. I concentrate more on the character aspect of the subject in a natural surrounding rather than merely aesthetic aspects. Because I believe physical beauty eventually fades, but the true essence of things live forever.

About the Expressionista As my artistic life progresses from its earliest beginnings into a more innovative phase, I have come to realize that art is everything to me. This has prompted me to want to share with you the story of my lifeâ€&#x;s artistic journey. In particular, it is important to understand the key role that the guitar has played as an inspiration to my artistic message. I use the guitar as a metaphor with universal applications and as a visual starting point for advanced imagery. My guitar-inspired emotions explode in vibrant colors as I attempt to harness a myriad of expressions with a broad spectrum of media onto a wide variety of surfaces. I delaminate the architectural elements and apply them into the rhythm of daily life. The guitar strings provide limitless expressive lines, always accenting the subject matter. The neck of the guitar can transmogrify into a marvelous protruding modern building. The heart of the instrument, the sound hole, is a simple geometric element with a grandeur of meanings and symbolism. Some of my most recent works adhere to a mother-and-child theme. These heartwarming scenes depict the unconditional love that this special relationship embodies. Unknown to me, there is an organic force at work as these paintings develop. Through the natural flow and paint process, there always emerges an unintentional heart-shaped symbol embedded in each painting.

I am extremely fortunate and pleased to have become the first official artist of the JoAnn Falletta International Guitar Concerto Competition. Since 2008, I have been providing the artistic spark for this prestigious international event sponsored by WNED Public Television of Buffalo, New York and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. My painting, La Gytara Gytana, has received worldwide recognition and has become the official face of the competition. As a result, my relationship with WNED and the BPO has flourished. This is due, in large measure, to the nurturing attitude and cooperative staff of both professional organizations. Many years ago I was ignited with a creative energy that allowed me to produce an epic work reflecting the tragedy of September 11, 2001. During the 10 year 9/11 anniversary, I participated in a group exhibition at New York University, Barney Building, Commons Gallery. The theme was titled 9/11 Arts: A Decade Later in which two of my patriotic paintings were displayed. At the same time, I donated a monumental 9‟x11‟ mural titled “The Day and the Evening After” to the John Feal Good Foundation in support of First Responders, event was held in Long Island, New York. I embrace the moment as an artist, but my passion for life goes well beyond the canvas. I enjoy involvement in public-service events as a way to give back to community at large. In 2010, I was a recipient of the Professional Development for Arts Educators Grant. I conducted artist workshops with several Teachers and many students throughout Buffalo, New York. This became the highlight of my artistic career! I cherish the experience of seeing people from all walks of life coming together to become “one” with the experience of creativity.

Peter Striffolino, born in Virginia and raised in New Hampshire, studied fine arts at the University of New Hampshire where he successfully applied his talents to the illustration of books. He spent countless hours in the studio, dedicating every moment to the development of his passion for art. Now out of school and based in New York City, Striffolino endeavors to find new ways to grow as an artist. Images that coalesce through lines of ink or washes of color are all derived from an intangible place in Striffolino‟s soul.
“When I produce an image, it is a reflection of something unknown, something beyond words. Only so much can be understood by describing a sunset with words, and as such, I shy away from describing my work. Although we can sometimes agree on a common representation, a work of art is truly subjective in the beauty it shows each of us. My work is my journey to understand the world around me. Art is the unknowable, an impression of something indescribable.”

A longing to escape from the world of political and social restraints. To understand from experience, rather than reason. To find salvation in just being. To have the penetrating insight to let go and just be free.
