Mark Poppe
Surrealism
My name is Mark Poppe, and I have been painting surrealistic landscapes since 1971. My mediums usually
include oils and acrylics on canvas. However, for the past 20 years I have been using strictly acrylics.
Inspirations such as nature, music and family (mainly my kids) have led me down this path of creativity. I am
a self - taught artist, so I have learned by my own hands and mind, which have carried me to the "places" in
which I paint today. I believe that creativity in any sense is a very important aspect of life. Life's a
journey.......Enjoy the ride!!

Daniel Rigsbee
Abstract - Oil / Acrylic / Paper
Daniel Riggsbee has been a creative person his entire life. Starting with a few small canvases and an easel he
discovered, as an adult, that painting was the perfect vehicle to express his creativity. The freedom of this
medium allowed him to push the limits of his own style and create a wide assortment of works that reflected
his personality. Evolving from Abstract Expressionism and applying unconventional methods and
techniques, he has gone to develop a style uniquely his own. This ensures that each new painting is truly a
personal reflection of the artist.
Jens Schnabel
Surreal Symbolism
I was born in Inglewood, Ca, in 1969. 8 months old my family moved back to Germany, where I grew up and
studied abstract and fine art.In 1994 I decided to come back to the US , where I began working for the
Warner Bros. Scenic Art Department (working on movies like Spiderman, Batman, Charlie's Angels, A
Series of Unfortunate Events just to name a few). It always has been my desire to persue my personal work
which I finally started doing after 10 years of work for the Studios. It is the old school of art which requires
control of colors, values, harmony and shapes in any way and direction, which always fascinated me. There
is no "good" work without fundamental knowledge and skill -nobody can build a solid wall without cement
or even water to mix the cement, same in painting. I hope my work reflects that a little bit.
