Dan Perez
Dan Perez is an artist and photographer from the Boston area who has had numerous gallery shows in Boston and New York City. His work focuses on the human condition and often blends sublime eroticism with dark portrayals of urban scenes. His work encompasses the essence of subtle sensuality and tease and makes frequent use of mythological and biblical themes.

Natasha Quesnell-Theno
Natasha spent her childhood in a charming Midwestern city, dreaming of someday venturing away from the fields of corn, dairy farms, and conservative family values of Wisconsin. After drawing her very first nude in kindergarten (a delightful topless mermaid), she quickly realized that there was something deliciously taboo about the human body... after the nun teaching her class tore her lovely picture to shreds. Many years later Natasha discovered her penchant for research in the social sciences, eventually focusing on the psychology of gender, sexism, romance, feminine seuality and traditional notions of beauty. Of course, nothing could keep her away from her continuing need to create art, and naturally she found herself combining her knowledge of gender theory, fascination with eroticism, and artistic prowess together to create her personal artistic style.

Noelle Scott
A fine artist and burlesque performer in Portland, Oregon, Noelle's work has an ethereal feel with bright translucent portraits in dark settings. Inspiration comes from the range of roles women play in our social settings. Her paintings often capture emotions from a female perspective. Women are mothers, environmentalists, punks, tattooed, and even burlesque stars. Subject matter and themes come from daily interactions with the lives of these women. Her first love is acrylics, although she is also fond of mixing ink, charcoal, and watercolor. The canvas is usually a drape of dark color before she repaints the shape of the portrait in white and then use a very soft watery technique that brings subtle colors into the skin.
