Diel, Bele
Hi! My name is Nele Diel. I'm a digital artist from Wiesbaden, Germany, doing freelance illustration and concept design for games, films, books, etc. I've ended my university studies in communication arts in the summer of 2016 and work as a fulltime freelance illustrator now but have done this as a side job over the past years. I especially love painting landscapes and environments in the fantasy genre, old ruins and forgotten relicts of other cultures and past centuries have always facinated me. With my work I want to create a small magical world and draw the viewer into it for a few seconds, wondering what this place is -- as I am never to concrete and want to leave this to the fantasy of the viewer.

Starkweather, Luke
I am a freelance painter and fiction writer. My primary genres are fantasy and horror. Though I currently work as a biologist at an AZA aquarium, I am also working on the side to become a published author and illustrator. Years of studying the creatures of our world has run parallel to creating my own fantastical beings. By day I design and build exhibits for animals, and by night I create strange worlds filled with monsters. I have written a novel, many short stories and bits of flash fiction pertaining to the subjects of my illustrations. Every monster and every character has their own story to tell. Acrylic paint, pencil, and ink are my preferred forms of media. I post my works in progress regularly on my Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/l_starkweather_arts/?hl=en

Zakikowski, Elizabeth
Elizabeth Zaikowski is a Southern California artist and graduate of San Diego State University with a degree in Education. Over the years since, she has been showing and teaching art in public schools and galleries. Elizabeth's work portrays themes that originate in the spiritual character of the mandala and the world of magical fantasy and illusion. Mandalas are symbolic of the universe and its eternal character, which is to provide symmetry and balance. In much of her work, communication, connection and participation with nature's cosmic world order are inherent themes. Her paintings are a reflection of the symmetrical nature of the universe. Mandala is the Sanskrit word for circle. In religious art, the mandala is used to symbolize wholeness - the circle of eternity. However, the pattern of a mandala -- a circle with a center -- reaches far beyond a two or three dimensional art form. The mandala is a spiritual art form found around the world. Mandalas are a symbolic representation of the macro and the micro; what lies within and without. Mandala art has been used throughout the world as a process of self-expression, in the service of personal growth and spiritual transformation. The basic pattern of the circle with a center is found in nature and is seen in both physics and astronomy.

Each piece created is developed in an organic manner, starting from the center and working outward, using a combination of airbrush and acrylic paints. Through her art, she strives to create more balance in our sometimes chaotic world. By devoting her life to art, she believes art enriches our lives and spirits; expressing the need for balance in life.
