GAIL MARTEN BIO
Climbing the iconic steps where Sylvester Stallone would train for his role in the film Rocky, I attended classes at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and marveled at the incredible work of legendary artists. I benefited from additional painting and drawing classes at the Moore Institute of Art where I received a scholarship for additional studies.
Justin Nepomuceno is a public artist/muralist with a background in illustration, animation, and sculpture based in Baltimore, MD. Graduating with a BFA in illustration from Towson University in 2016, and now works for ManneqART a 501c3 non-profit that focuses on arts education, while also working on murals all over Maryland. With an interest in the weird and fantastical, Justin prioritizes public art installations with elements of interactivity, believing that touching and feeling the art makes for a memorable creative experience.
I'm an artist in Harford County. I have a wide range of artist skills including work in watercolor, fine art acrylic painting, ink illustration, digital artwork, and mural work. These diverse skill sets allow me to sketch ideas, create a digital composition, and implement the final design on either media or wall surfaces seamlessly. I'm open to new projects and would love to get involved in public installations in my community.
