I like space travel, transcendence and trees. I like making pretty pictures with little to no explanation behind them. As such, you will find none here.

My "Reflection" work is a reaction to a career of manipulating images and sounds. After struggling to find a way to create truly unique video art, I went to see a film by a director whose work I had previously found difficult to follow. I noticed sitting down the row was a painter I admired. At that moment I made a conscious choice to watch the film as a painting. It was an amazing experience, filled with meaning and metaphor. Realizing what an effect one's frame of mind has on how the human brain processes information. I ran home, pulled a painting out of a frame on my wall and mounted the monitor to the frame.

Wolf and Pack was born of necessity rather than coincidence. The need to produce rather than sit back and judge. Started in 2002 in NYC by Gabriel Hunter and Julian Lynn over drinks at a bar called Max Fish, things seemed simple, produce shirts we wanted to wear. Sell some, give some away, keeping occupied was job one. This momentum, and overwhelming response to our efforts, carried us all the way to Amsterdam NL to open the Wolf and Pack shop, while also expanding the emphasis to working with
artists we admire and support in our split level shop / art gallery space. We look forward to continuing the journey of exposing new thoughts and ideas be they cloth, canvas or digital.

Hailing from Philadelphia, PA, Morgan Thomas has spent the majority of her life in observation of the people around her. She has studied art and art history around the world and graduated in 2007 from Williams College with two degrees (in studio art and sociology). Thomas' main subject is human but strives to examine more emotion and communication than the classic portrait. Utilizing a semiotic vocabulary built up through the existence of the human race, Thomas records the world around her as she perceives it visually and spiritually. She aims to communicate to her audience the honest image and heartfelt meaning of a moment in time as it can be understood through form, color, and symbolic imagery. Thomas' work is sociological, allegorical, and historical record. It does not try to comment on an event, but rather represent it for the audience to bring judgement to.

Artist by nature all my life born to be creative in every way.... painter, dancer, performance, music/sound, sculpture, video, poetry...screenplays, indie films you name it I've tried it. In my creative process I express the deepest darkest ideas of the mind, soul and body by using situations, figures and artificial shapes to emulate nature in a futuristic way. I also use layering, transparency and texture to express these ideas...whether societal, emotional or political.

Matthew McGowan (Two Sevens) believes beauty can be skin deep. With tattoos becoming more socially acceptable every day, lost on most is how the art form started. By incorporating both traditional Japanese and American style tattooing styles, Matthew tries to bring to the forefront the beauty and courage of those who wanted to tell the story of their soul through their skin, even if society wasn't ready to see it. Whether it be a '50's pin-up or a modern Geisha, the subject is proud of who they are. They tell their life story on their skin, never hiding behind the social norm.

My pictures are about relationships. I am trying to fill the role of a muse. I invite women to sit for portraits because I find them attractive. Some characters appear once while others occur multiple times. Women become replaceable and interchangeable. Subjects have plump faces, flowing hair and big eyes. Some of them look as if they just fell out of a painting at the Met. The pictures place women on pedestals, glorifying yet objectifying them. The poses are awkward and elegant. Their gaze is inviting yet passive.

I find myself exploring themes of loss, ennui and disillusion through layers of drawings, using often humorous symbols and characters based on my professional output - painting and repainting the surface as the ideas manifest during the course of the process. I have painted on canvas before, but I found my previous technique of simply projecting smaller sketchbook drawings and then filling in the gaps was far too limiting. I've since started drawing straight onto the canvas, layering with several different media- pencil, acrylic, ink, oil stick, charcoal, coffee, collage, tippex. Essentially I'm now freely drawing onto the canvas, sketching, creating ideas and images as I go along.

I work with food, on food, and around food. The Japanese Zen concept of food as both sustenance and transitory perishable art, pleasing to the senses and meant to be ingested and transformed as life-sustaining energy, is an inspiration for my art media.

After graduating from California State University Fullerton in 1982 with a Bachelors Degree in Fine Art. I painted portraits, murals, still life, and the human figure on canvas, and paper using all sorts of different water based paints. Moving to Taos, New Mexico in 1997 I switched to digital media because I wanted a "photo real collage" look to the series of mandalas I had envisioned. I've been working in Digital Photo Montage since 1999. My newest series of images are recombinant modern takes on old art.

Most people have a lot of stuff. I mean that literally and figuratively. A lot of it is excess baggage that we carry around or accumulate and don't really need. Creating the mounds of stuff you see in these monoprints, became the primary focus of the prints.
