Raymond Federman
IN THE SANDBOX He constantly tortures himself to know who he is, he wants to know, wants to understand himself, but perhaps it is this ignorance of his self that is his strength, his destiny, never to understand himself and to remain always misunderstood ... He offers himself totally, his head, hands, mind, soul, zipper, all open, not to expose himself, but as an initiatory gesture ... This is his way of saying, I am here, everything I have is here take it ... Such ego as he may be said to have is the referred ego of those outside of him who give it back to him as they see him ... He is not generous in any received social, sentimental sense, it is simply his nature not an acquired virtue, a personal gesture, like the way he watches over others ... He is a child in a sandbox asking others to come and play, but no one comes to play with him ... More often than not, they mirror him, but the mirroring does not reflect, it obscures who he is ...

I am a baby-boomer, the middle child of five born in a six year span. My
mom escaped to teach horseback riding full-time, obviously overwhelmed by
her progeny. My dad was a traveling shoe salesman. Gwendolyn Brooks became my mentor in 1967. I am riding my poetry horse somewhere between Dylan Thomas and Bob Dylan. Anita and I had our own five children, while I
operated an art gallery for thirty years. The children are gone, but the poetry stays.

M. Maxwell
I graduated from college with three useless degrees and have worked meaningless jobs that I detested. I am employed and employable merely because the people and companies I owe money expect restitution. I have more interests than time to master them and none of the money required to dress the part. At any social gathering, if you happen to see the sneering, mute wallflower, envious eyes openly mocking the privileged, that might be me. If you notice me, then I need to work harder on being invisible.

Regarding her work Liz says, "In some pieces my work is whimsical but also has a bittersweet quality that emanates from them. I like that sweet sad aspect of life and let it leak into my work. Other pieces are more about the tense moments that are just around the corner, the ambiguity of what will happen next. I like the feeling of being a bit scared. Life is paradoxical; a bit scary and fun which what makes it exciting!"

Nancy Calef
Born in Bronx, New York, I completed Bronx High School of Science at age 15 and received a scholarship from the College of New Rochelle to study painting and sculpture. In 1977, I moved to San Francisco, where I've continued to paint; I also exhibit nationally in solo and group shows.
I have lived in Europe and Thailand, traveled throughout the U.S., Mexico, Central America, Southeast Asia, India and Nepal, all of which served to develop my painting style and sharpen my understanding of the cultural and spiritual diversity of the world landscape. Having experienced the harsh side of urban life, I'm moved to paint society from my imagination, juxtaposing characters in ordinary situations. I often tackle difficult issues while incorporating humor and adding the third dimension (sculpture and found objects on canvas). I have come to realize that art is truly a universal language. read more >>

Claudia Drake
I love to explore the placement of things, piecing parts to uncover and
create associations. My art is a manifestation of this process, which I
term as 'Urgent Alchemy'. Each new work is a puzzle to me, a process of
interlocking forms and alterations that I adjust until I feel that they
fit. Antique engravings and etchings fascinate me, so I use them as the
basis for this exploration. My main interest is in the fusion of forms
and the narratives that emerge.
Art history is the foundation of my visual education. I'm self-trained
through lessons learned from the early Surrealists and Dadaists, a love
child of Ernst and Magritte. My work draws largely on their legacy,
bridging antique to modern.

Military brat. Tried those careers that were 'fun' as opposed to
work (bass guitarist, actor, director, writer). Pretty standard stuff.
Nowadays I work in the video/computer game field
as an digital artist/animator.
“…when I was using brush and ink, very time-consuming. Nowadays it's scan the pencil sketch and paint it up in Photoshop. Whenever I work with the pencil, I always have a moment where I look for the undo button on the pencil and then realize it's called
the eraser.”

Alice Egoyan
I have been creating digital art since 1997, when I opened my first
website, The Keeper of Fragile Things. I cultivated a love for macro
photography & multiple exposure because I could melt images
together to create a sort of visual story. Using Photoshop helped
me expand my visions even further.
My inspiration is derived mostly from myth, religion, & fairy tales
& my artistic expression encompasses several media. I grew up
on a diet of foreign fashion magazines, modern art, classical art,
& street art~~all which have inevitably contributed to my style.
Last year, I self-published a book of my earliest artworks titled
The Intercourse of Angels.
