Denissa Kiehl

Hi! My name is Denissa Ursula Kiehl. Inspiration for my art usually stems from my love for: admiring nature, exploring the world, recalling my childhood memories, and studying the mysteries of life and the universe. My art has a whimsical quality with vibrantly colored details and a varying combination of realistic and fantasy elements, which are based on what would best serve each project. I work with acrylic paint, oil paint, pencils, pastels, Photoshop and mixed media. I am interested in work involving book cover and children’s book illustration, art to be used for children and adult products (such as clothing, school supplies and decorative items, etc.), and mural paintings (see images of my mural series at Edinburg Children’s Hospital below and on my main website).

I am currently based in Los Angeles. If you wish to contact me about my work or a new project, please send an e-mail to: dukworld@att.net . To see more of my artwork visit my main website: www.dukworld-studio.com .

Mark Pestana

I have been inspired throughout my life by the beauty of nature, our planet’s place in the universe, and the great explorers of land, sea, air and space. I have an optimistic vision of humanity’s expansion beyond Earth into the solar system. I attempt to convey emotion, wonder, and excitement of these subjects through my art. Not being one to watch from the sidelines, though, I pursued advanced education in engineering and sciences, and fulfilled my dream of becoming a professional pilot, in parallel with the pursuit of expressive art. From my first person experiences of flying around our planet, in hostile environments ranging from military combat to flying hurricane research missions, as well as being involved with human spaceflight operations, I capture the essence of flight in my art. I’m also captivated by the imaginations of other artists…those who speculate and write about the future of humanity, and those who produce this visual imagery through film.
