Lenore Gimpert graduated in 1997 from the Center for Creative Studies at the College of Art and Design and received her M.A. and M.F.A. from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. Inspired in art school, she turned to abstract painting and began to experiment with different materials, slathering thick paint on canvas and texturizing it with what was at hand. Her various techniques include dripping, smearing, splattering and pouring paint on paper and canvas. Her backgrounds typically start with a black surface and progress to a bright white or other bright color. She has a strong love of history, particularly the Greek Hellenistic, Baroque and Rococo periods, and fuses the romance of these periods with a contemporary eye in her work.

Photographer Andrea Hillebrand has been combining her love of window displays, great design and architecture over the last several years to form a body of interpretive work called "Worlds Within Worlds"—magical, surreal and abstract imagery from her travels to many cities. The images are not layered, but rather reflections from the architectural elements of the street back into the window displays of some of the most talented and inspiring designers in the world.
Unexpected surprises often occur during the editing process. When the beauty of something serendipitously captured is revealed, she discovers she has created a world within a world. Original forms are transcended, and everything is reinterpreted, sparking further reflections.
