Natasha Turovsky, who currently lives in Montreal, has already established herself as an internationally reknown artist. Natasha is twice gifted in both music (violinist) and art. She has painted hundreds of canvases as well as perfecting the technique's of both Monoprints and Monotypes on Arches. Ms. Turovsky conveys a touch of Surrealism, Realism, and an overall unique almost "Dalisque" flavor in her works. No two works are alike, and her talent level is extreme, with an exciting fresh approach to the contemporary art world. There are hundreds of collectors of Natasha' s artworks, and she has exhibited in Barcelona, Hong Kong, Cleveland, Boston, New York, Montreal, as well as having her works on tour throughout the US and Canada. Natasha has an incredible web site of her own natasha-turovsky.com which shows an extensive list of events, artwork, and special projects including her "A Night at The Opera" painting, and her "Pictures at an Exhibition" series.

Born - 1942 - Cleveland, Ohio. Graduate - Cooper Art School. Married - Three Sons. Residence - Cleveland, Ohio. Jim Ptacek's works are the cityscapes of your mind. Gone are the noise of the traffic, the bustle of the crowd. All that remains are the textured images....the beauty and the grace of the city and its structures. He has managed to distill the city down to its very essence...those structures that are a reflection of who and what the city is. Peering through the dark hues and grained images is the life of the city....frozen magically in time by Jim's unique blend of photgraphy and lithographic printing. Jim's prints hang in banks, restaurants, corporate offices and private collections throughout the country. They have been the focus of many gallery shows as well. His work has been reproduced as commemorative posters, calendars and greeting cards. Jim's works now include the cities of Cleveland, Chicago, Cincinnati, New Orleans, Detroit, Buffalo, Jacksonville, Mobile, Orlando, Pittsburgh, Nashville and San Juan, Puerto Rico, capturing local scenes and landmarks in limited edition prints and posters.
