Scott G Brooks is originally from Flint, Michigan, and currently lives and works in Washington, DC. His subject matter ranges from simple portraiture to intricate narratives. In his paintings, he takes social, psychological, and political issues and injects them with a dark sense of humor. Anatomical distortions separate the figures from the photographic ideal, which gives him the freedom to create his own distorted reality. His work is described as twisted and offbeat, sentimental, and disturbing.

Through my work I strive to understand and create a dialog with the world around me. I present to the viewer my interpretations of what I see and understand as truthful.

New York based artist Taylor McKimens creates installations that are like three-dimensional cartoons. As well as showing his two-dimensional works and painting directly onto the wall, he uses paper and cardboard to make three-dimensional alterations to the space, creating new walls, objects and even people. The world he creates is one in which everything is deteriorating: you find yourself surrounded by broken windows, leaks and puddles, moulding walls and the recurrent image of a sweaty fat man standing or sitting alone in his underpants.
Taylor McKimens was born in 1976 and grew up in Winterhaven, California, a small town on the borders of Arizona and Mexico. Strong comic book influences and his childhood in a small desert border town lend an edge to the tragico-comic energy of his pieces, and moments of elegant painterliness can invest even his ugliest image with a complex beauty.

Laurie Lipton was born in New York and began drawing at the age of 4. She developed a way of drawing that mimicked the technique by building up thousands of tiny lines to get a tone, and she was able to get the same kind of luminous detail that the 17th century Flemish painters had achieved.
Laurie was the first person to graduate from Carnegie-Mellon University in Pennslyvania with a Fine Arts degree in drawing. Laurie has lived in Holland, Belgium, Germany and France and has made her home in London since 1986.

Stephanie Brown is an incredibly talented artist. She is very skilled technically, metaphysically, and her compositions are righteous.
