I have supported my art as a hairdresser for many years. Recently I have been working on a group of paintings based on the magazine clippings brought to me as proposals by my clients for the look they are going for when they come to my salon. More often than not the style is not really possible to recreate on the subject. Wrong length, wrong texture and wrong color…but to them, the photo of the model or actress is what they want to emulate and I do my best to transform them! I am calling the group Salon Girls. Prior to this group of paintings I had always stayed away from painting hair, opting to keep my bodies of work and working life separate.

From victorian to sci-fi to beatnik to hippie to gangsta rap to impressionist to indie rock to post modern to imagism to expressionism and all over and back and all over again.

I am a 35 year old Dutch painter and illustrator who lives and works in
Berlin, Germany. I graduated from the Minerva Art academy (Groningen, the Netherlands) in 2000. My work is made with acrylics and collage on old wooden surfaces like box lids, signs, cigar boxes etc. The materials I use tell part of the story through the stains, old nails,dents and cracks. The other part is told through all sorts of monsters, freaks and oddballs acting out my ideas, and hopefully spark a positive thought in you.

People, their moods and interactions are an ongoing source of curiosity to me. What I'm searching for is their inner personalities, their thoughts and there are stories I build around them as I work. I like portraying feelings of people when they are alone, lost in their thoughts, caught unawares. Those are the special moments that appeal to me most. I love to experiment and use a variety of medium ranging from oil, charcoal, printmaking, clay to the digital medium but my focus remains fixed on the human form.

I am interested in showing the difficulty and discomfort in fully understanding a person. I leave my subjects incomplete to highlight their limitations, as well as my own inability to see the subject beyond the influence of myself.

Nicole Ray, an Ann Arbor-based illustrator, makes cheerful, quirky drawings often inspired by words: song lyrics, a funny phrase overheard in a passing conversation, poetry, a newspaper article, fairy tales. She focuses on line work and unusual combinations of unlikely pairs: a giraffe in roller skates, a fish dropping from the sky on a balloon, hair that turns into a river.

I use photo based printmaking techniques to incorporate scientific illustrations of aquatic algae (e.g. Hypnae), DNA molecules, plant and animal cells, botanical images, and pathogens into my paintings and monoprints. I establish visual connections between my own invented images and these evolutionary forms that I encountered in nature. In addition to evoking an emotional response in the viewer through the manipulation of color, shape, line, and texture, these images also precipitate rational thoughts about both the history and current status of our natural world.

My work changes each day, and I am finally learning to accept that. Each painting is a new approach that challenges me. I attribute my artisitic A.D.D. to studying Picasso books that covered his career from his Blue Period to Cubism, and my love for eclectic music such as Os Mutantes and Beck. Each song on their records sounds like an entirely new entity from the previous.

I want to live in a world where every home is full of art and it isn't illegal to paint the streets. My paintings and drawings explore issues of cultural memory, looking at pop vs. underground culture, the media, and popular mythologies.

I am an artist who is thoroughly fascinated by the clashes in the visual culture of developing cities between urban/rural, and traditional/modern elements. My painting practice is focused on creating and reinterpreting snapshots of urban life such places, especially Istanbul, where I have grown up. I am interested in elements of my architectural practice into my paintings. This involves both focusing more on my "process"- something that was highly emphasized in my architecture education- and also bringing in perspective drawings and architectural collages into painting as a means of capturing the dynamics of city life that form my subject matter.

chronicler of bulldogs and interstate trucking. He is also proud to continue the 17,000 year old tradition of mammoth painting, and hopes to spark a resurgence. His deadpan, pop-flavored, post-ironic approach is the result of millions of years of evolution. He aspires to be worthy of the title "gentleman farmer." He is undaunted by the inevitability of death and the ultimate futility of all human endeavor.
