Born in Michoacán, Mexico, Valencia grew up admiring art greats such as Rufino Tamayo, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. After moving to the United States in 1994, she apprenticed under master artists, perfecting her painting techniques through their mentorship and guidance. Eventually, Valencia was inspired to venture out on her own, creating abstracts and florals inspired by the beauty and colors of nature. She creates each painting as though it were for herself, and it gives her tremendous satisfaction when someone admires her work.

A graduate of The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Kevin Wenner began his career painting signs and working as a graphic designer and illustrator before becoming a live-action painter, hurling his body at a massive easel with a loaded paint brush, performing before rock bands, orchestras, jazz bands, poets, dancers and actors at various venues, earning recognition as an Artist of the Year. He now divides his time between art, performing, gallery work, sculpting, carving, illustration, graphic design, storyboarding, commercials, music videos, movie sets, virtual worlds, cartooning, voice acting, puppetry, poetry, installations, television, teaching, theater, murals, fashion, flower shows, restaurants, outdoor advertising, and body painting.

Mary West received her B.F.A. from the Slade School of Fine Art in London, England. Her paintings explore light, space and texture through landscape. Blurring the lines between abstract and figurative painting, memories of landscape inspire every composition. Each painting is an emotional response to a place and shared encounters. She works in oils, allowing the paint to take on a life of its own through chance accidents and gestural mark making. She paints quickly and intuitively, creating a sense of movement while building layers.
