 Ellen Pliskin
Ellen Pliskin prefers to create landscapes by employing a limited range of color and form. Using the entire surface of her paper, the artist allows for the organic, intuitive development of each complex watercolor. Pliskin studied at the School of Visual Arts, and has been showing her work for the past fifteen years in New York and Connecticut. The artist's works belong to the collections of Health Insurance Plan of Greater New York (HIP) and the Connecticut Savings Bank.

Gregg Simpson
Canadian painter Gregg Simpson looks to the early twentieth-century art movement of Surrealism for inspiration, using a very physical, automatic gesture to apply his paint, with no pre-planned composition in mind. "The main purpose of my art is to invoke certain states of mind through imagery, what the Surrealists called 'the poetic imagination', a subconscious realm of imagery." Simpson has exhibited his work in British Columbia and Europe.

Belerfon Dalakyan
Belerfon Dalakyan works in the realist tradition of Russian 19th century masters. His still-life and landscape images metaphorically refer to the breathtaking power of nature. Grassy, spring scenes and impressionist seascapes are also part of the artist's portfolio. Dalakyan studied at the Repin University of Art in Russia, and has shown his work prolifically throughout Europe and Russia.
