My dollar bill collages, inflatable sculptures, and other highly conceptual works – reflect upon the confluence of money and power throughout history, and in particular considers current US attitudes that have filtered down from Westward Expansion and notions of Manifest Destiny. The result is a political and cultural critique that encompasses not only the shifting cultural changes that have taken place within my lifetime but also those throughout US history.

I am an interdisciplinary artist with diverse interests in the fields of social history, scientific research and critical theory, which have greatly influenced my work. I often make use of sculpture, video, and lighting to create works that illuminate our notions of personal identity and community. I utilize my art as an agent for empowerment to involve viewers from all different backgrounds and communities. I was born in Lima. I live and work in New York City and Peru.

Real and imagined, unseen or unrecognized universes coexist all around us. Sea creatures live in the deep ocean; bacteria live in the body; insects make a tiny home within a home; cells form structures to make a human. A small bit stands in for the greater whole, and exists perhaps without the knowledge of the larger piece. I have an interest in biomorphic shapes, pattern and fragile beauty.

My recent work focuses on the creation of identities through the use of fictionalized characters. The shaping of these characters has so far taken various forms: live performance, site – specific installation, internet – based art, comic - writing, and video. I have been analyzing the way identity can change according to one's own cultural references. The elements of failure, longing and frustrated desire are therefore fundamental in the shaping of my work. My installations can be seen as a single scene from a potentially longer narrative, one whose beginning and end are unknown and can, therefore, be changed continuously.

I play with paint, mixing brushes and knives to create the topography of gesture. What emerge from this experience are not abstractions, but realist paintings: vintage kitchen appliances, scrumptious trappings of weddings, modern Italian scenes. I am interested in re-contextualizing these subjects, conveying their iconic natures while displaying strong indications of their modernity. Everything I paint has an energy that I strive to bring to the surface through emphatic edges, vivid colors and heavily textured, gestural brush strokes. I live with my husband, Lee Goldberg and dog, Ringo in our
Newton, NJ home.

My work is a reaction to moments in which I was forced to question my understanding of reality. It is an investigation of the connections between seemingly disparate phenomena. I often find myself in awe of serendipitous moments or paralyzed by coincidental tragedies that have unfolded in a fated synchronicity. Here, imagination triumphs and gives birth to the binding threads of connectivity between otherwise spurious relationships. My images flaunt far-fetched connections prolonging these moments of possibility in the face of inaccuracy and absurdity.

I started painting when i was kid, mostly monsters and explosions. Art gave me new meaning once again and renewed my vigor. Ever since i got into graffiti letters and typography has been a focus of much of my work. Though my love of typography and color i try to make deeply layered paintings that require more then just a glance to judge it. I do believe it is a pop cultural imprint of my generation.The things i have been painting for the lost couple of years i would classify as Modern pop art with a comic-graffiti twang.

Episodic memories are the stories that define our lives. These memories are unpredictable; the big days fade into haze, while the smallest, most insignificant moments loom large and clear. We are left with a personal, scattered playlist of seconds. I paint these moments, these microcosms of memory, and turn them into modern icons. Some are dark, some are whimsical. Basically, I'm interested in the good bits.

In his growth from youngling to older beast, Evan has been continually pressured to partake of the droll acceptance of things that most of the adult menagerie adopts. He refused then and refuses yet to partake of this dry and bitter outlook. In the formative years during adolescence and college, Evan determined that he would never divest himself of that instinct to frolic in the nature of the everyday. In his everyday, the most commonplace and forgotten moments would be as treasured and examined as the grandiose. And in his artwork, such wonder at the possibilities would be shown in its own right, or dragged kicking and screaming to be wonder for others via symbolic and fantastic imagery.

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.

This work is an exploration of self and the dualities of life. The pursuit of love and the need for independence. The comfort in being grounded and the dread of being tied down. The security of stability and the fear of the routine. Through constructed images of my relationship within the domestic I have been exploring these dichotomies.

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.
