PAWEL KOWALCZYK is a self-described, “dedicated generalist fascinated by geekery in all its multitudinous forms.”

MICHAEL A. KOENIG is an ER nurse who has always had a fondness for art and drawing pictures. It was only recently, when his cousin moved in and brought with him an unused stash of art supplies, that he discovered the joy of painting.

MARISA IEVANS "I am drawn to simple shapes and colors. I like things to be clean, visually.
I was interested in the idea of repeating something simple thus creating a pattern....the group being visually stronger, having a greater impact, than one individual image.
...day dreamer, puddle splasher, dog lover, bike rider, picture taker...Marisa Ievans studied photography at Southern Illinois University and currently works for a non-profit boys and girls club where she teaches art.

CHRISTY FREEMAN is a Chicago artist specializing in various mediums such as watercolor, acrylic and oil on canvas. Her work is vibrant and full of color.
