Growing up a skateboarder I was always fascinated by the bold and colorful graphics on skateboards. Some of my earliest memories are of going into the local skate shop and being blown away by all the different art styles. Now although I didn't realize it at the time, this would be the start to a lifelong obsession with art and design. I would draw on my shoes, my homework, napkins at restaurants, anything I could really. But it wasn't until High School that I realized this could turn into a career. I took one computer art and design class and the minute I was introduced to the adobe programs, I knew this was the right path for me. My creative world went from mainly just drawing to being able to carry out any idea I had in my mind. From that point on my artistic style just kept evolving. Now, just recently graduating from Madison Area Technical College with my associates degree in Graphic Design I feel like I'm really hitting my stride. I'm excited to keep evolving as a designer/ human being and to leave my mark on the design world!

Liubov is perpetually fascinated with new mediums and surfaces. You will find his work on anything from discarded curbside furniture, fine works, and large-scale murals and paintings.

Leo Salazar is an abstract painter, sculptor and photographer who lives and works in Madison, WI. He was born in Chicago, the son of Mexican immigrants. The family came to settle in Madison but his parents would later be deported. Leo's mother played a key role in encouraging and nurturing his creativity, which became a powerful source of healing and strength during the family's upheaval.

Leo's approach to his work is open yet very driven. He combines his formal art training with self-taught methods. "If I try something and it doesn't work out, I'll try something else. Or I'll just make it work". This also applies to how he lives his life, with a mix of adventure and resolve that fuels his translation of ideas and emotions into beautiful pieces. He travels the US and Mexico seeking fresh ideas and inspiration.
