There were no doubts, so I got admission in the best Art school of my country. Words of encouragement from my principal still ring back in my mind. His faith in my artistic ability led to his arranging a two-man show immediately after graduation. The reviews were good and the work well received. Encouraged, I thought migration to New York, one of the most renowned cities for art and culture, after marriage would be a perfect fit. Whenever I got a chance I would take courses at Parsons School of Design and the Visual School of Arts, but my dreams were put on hold. My husband passed away of a sudden heart attack. Devoting my time to raising kids, managing the mortgage, and providing the finances left me little time to paint. It was not until I was laid off from work that I realized what I was really missing. I started to paint. It gave me such peace and happiness. Slowly I picked up where I had left off, got in touch with my old friends and colleagues, who by now are well known artists. They encouraged me to have an exhibition in Karachi, Pakistan. So in 2011, almost forty years later, I had my first solo! Even though all my paintings were sold within the first two days people didn’t really know my work but it renewed my faith in me. Since then I have participated in shows in both New York and New Jersey and plan to continue my passion. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 2 4 5a 6 9 3 5b 7 10 8 11 12 14 13 15 16 1- "…have faith in your path.

She has worked in the Fashion Industry in New York City for several years.

Growing up in a multicultural community introduced Arain to alphabets from all over the world, which she incorporates into her paintings today. Her work seeks to find a balance between bold strokes of calligraphy, powerfully expressed subtle watercolors, and explores the conflict between these two contradictory expressions. The combination of Middle Eastern, South Asian, and East Asian calligraphy fused with urban graffiti styles of her native New Jersey and New York City create images that are both familiar as well as alien to the viewer. Arain incorporates different aspects of her life, culture, religion, and her experiences in America to combine them in a unique way that appeals to any sensibility. Naila's art work serves as a visual diary where her emotional state guides her choice in colors and spontaneous strokes 1 4 2 3 5 6 7 1-resistance watercolor and black ink pen on watercolor paper print -8x8 $150 2-creation within black ink marker on white watercolor paper print 18x24 $350 3-beach waves black ink pen on paper- print 7x10 $50 4-turbulence black ink pen on paper- print 7x10 $50 5-black and white vibrations black Japanese sumi ink on white watercolor paper original 18x24 $450 6-constant motion acrylic on black board original-20x16 $400 7-calligraphic surge watercolor, Japanese sumi ink on paper-original 18x18 $300 Sunrise My name is Liu, Guo Ping: My English name is Sunrise, which reflects my attitude to life and my personality. My work ranges from portraits to flowers to landscapes to abstract to calligraphy to Chinese ink to murals: really anything large or small. I graduated from the Beijing Institute of Education in 1984, having studied Chinese calligraphy there since 1980, and having received an award from the department for those studies in 1982. I further received awards at the 1997 and 1998 Beijing China Art Museum exhibitions for participating in the Din Shaoguang Art Exhibition and the Exhibition of Fine Art in Beijing. Between the years of 1997 and 1999 I made approximately one hundred pieces, and then from 2000 to 2006 about sixty abstract pieces. 1 2 5 8 3 6 9 4 7 10 11 11 13 16 17 1 Lotus Flower 1 – Red unframed print -12x12 $180 2 Lotus Flower 2 unframed print -12x12 $180 3 Wild Pink Flowers unframed print -12x12 $180 4 Trees unframed print -12x12 $180 5 Panther unframed print -12x12 $180 6 Lion unframed print -12x12 $180 7 Turtle unframed print -12x12 $180 14 18 15 8 Young Man unframed print -12x12 $180 9 Young Woman unframed print -12x12 $180 10 Alien unframed print -12x12 $180 11 Adam and Eve unframed print– 27x27 $280 12 Summer Palace 1 unframed print -12x12 $180 13 Summer Palace 2 unframed print -12x12 $180 14 Summer Palace 3 unframed print -12x12 $180 15 Summer Palace 4 unframed print -12x12 $180 16 Chinese House unframed print -12x12 $180 17 Flowers 1 Oil painting original – 10x10 $300 18 Flowers 2 Oil painting original – 12x16 $500 Emily Hubley Emily Hubley has been making short animated films for over thirty years.

She began paining at the early age of ten. In the following years she has accomplished many things. She has taken part in many national and international exhibitions including group exhibitions at the Art Fusion Gallery in Florida 2009, the Jamaica High Commission in London 2009, the Olympia Gallery in Jamaica 2008/2009, the Berhane Selassie Art Gallery in Jamaica 2010 and the Broadway Gallery NYC in 2010. Later in 2010 the young artist held her own solo exhibition in Kingston, Jamaica. The bright colors, as well as the chaos and spontaneity that characterize life in her Caribbean homeland, are reflected in the vibrancy of her paintings. LauraAnne mostly paints in abstract forms. Representational painting has had little interest for her. From she was a mere 6 years old she has wanted to express the images that bombard her mind in splashes of color, strokes and symbols. 1 1.

McKenna Michael F. McKenna is a self-taught photographer who has honed the technical aspect of his art over the last fifteen years. By reading, trial and error, and studying the masters of Landscape photograph, he has developed his own style based on natural lighting and heavy contrast. With this, his work runs from the classic landscape shot to the surreal lifelike look of an inanimate object. Mr. McKenna is based out New Jersey and has been creating photographic artwork as an independent photographer for the last 5 years.
