I was born in a little town Steubenville, Ohio and raised in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia called Weirton. Twenty minutes from Pittsburgh, PA. The Steel Valley! Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Sports towns and big rivalries. Our claim to fame was our diversity, our steel mills and most of all what I call the 19. Nineteen professional, baseball, football and basketball players that came from one street in a town where sports was integrated in 1956. Amazing! the Street was Weir Avenue or “CALICO HILL” where every nationality live and worked together.
I have been creating artwork since I was a small child. My first framed artwork was a Watercolor that I created was 12 years old. As time went on I started gifting others creating small drawings, greeting cards with original drawings, or graphics for friends and co-workers. In addition, I donated my time to create posters and flyers for non-profit civic organizations in my hometown and for student events in college.

Corentin "Cory" Seznec is a Franco-American musician who divides his time between Annapolis, Maryland and Paris, France.

Having participated in choir activities as a child, ]onathan Stone went on to encounter the polyphonic vocal music of the Renaissance and Baroque eras in high school, performing in a capella vocal ensembles over the next twelve years. The stylistic imperatives of polyphonic vocal music, voice leading, accurate pitch and rhythmic precision, were carried on to subsequent areas of exploration.
Since the mid-1980's, Stone's primary focus has been on the performance of mid-twentieth century Brazilian song, which he refers to as "Art Samba" rather than the marketing term "bossa nova."
I was born and raised North of Detroit in a rural town surrounded by nature and a rich exposure to four seasons. Water was an abundant resource - I could walk in any direction and see a running brook, a river, a pond or a lake which all provided a playground for curiosity and pleasure.
My name is Stephen Parker. I am a chalkboard artist with an adoration for portraits, both human and creature engaging in pseudo realism. My work reflects haunting tones of black and grey, strictly using plain white chalk, my fingers and a handful of tools.
