Adriana Raby

Adriana Raby was born in Philadelphia, PA the youngest of three, in an Italian family (Go Eagles!) Some sort of writing device was always in her hand. She moved to Sarasota FL, (an hour below Tampa on the Gulf side) in elementary school. Adriana went to a visual and performing arts magnet high school where she was fortunate in having art during half her day. She has a BFA from Ringling College of Art and Design.

In 2010 she and her boyfriend went cross-country for three weeks. The experience was amazing and she scrap booked and sketched the whole time!

She is not your average Visual Artist.
“I am a people person. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy putting my head phones on and getting lost in my work, however; I get my energy from being around others. I try to learn as much as I can from mini trips and meeting new people. I live in Los Angeles, I’m going to go on game shows and immerse myself in this fun culture! “

She is a person who is always in a good mood, enjoys solving problems, anything pop culture, and LOVES being busy.

Chris Turner

When I graduated from art school, my portfolio was all over the place- cartoons, rendering, fashion sketches…I just couldn’t commit to a single style. Comps and storyboards to the rescue! I found that in the comp world, I was actually encouraged to work in many different styles. I’ve been a concept designer at Disney Imagineering now for almost 20 years and variety is still my mantra. Posters, concept sketches, storyboards, show design… pretty good for guy who can’t commit!

Leo Monahan

About the Work:

Inspired by Bauhaus design and color principles, as well as Japanese and Chinese paper arts, Leo Monahan creates modern masterworks of cut and folded paper.

By cutting, folding, and texturizing paper of various weights, and by superimposing the pieces in dimensional collage, Leo gives the objects in his works a palpability they would not possess depicted on a flat canvas. In an old country kitchen, large spoons lean out from their utensil holder, as if hankering for a cook’s hand. A decaying rowboat poses in fugitive relief against the water that threatens to engulf it. Leo’s use of relief is such that some of his most arresting art is white on white.

Most of Monahan’s works, including the kitchens, are prodigies of color. An object’s relief is often heightened by intense tone. Using hot colors liberally in harmony with a few cooler ones, Leo often achieves some of the effects of an abstract. For example, his bigger- and more-colorful-than-life fishing flies seem intended to lure your inner eye.

In recent years, Leo has also enjoyed exploring the sensuous and emotional power of rusts and earth tones, often in images from his boyhood in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

Leo’s work has appeared in galleries in California and across the Southwest. His work is now in the Grovewood Gallery in Asheville, NC. His pieces are in numerous private collections and the Smithsonian Institution. The Art Academy of Los Angeles held a 40-year retrospective of his compositions. Leo holds a Life Achievement Award from the Los Angeles Society of Illustrators.
