About the Artist
Artist Gary Leonard enjoys the challenges of figurative work, focusing on color and composition rendered spontaneously to create a lasting impression. His paintings express the delicate beauty and romance of the world, leaving the viewer with a deep sense of warmth and peace. “That which lies within us must be recognized and explored,†says Gary. Inspired by the techniques of the old masters, Gary took inspiration from the works of John Singer Sargent, weaving his influences into his creations. Driven by specific objectives, each of his artworks serves to continuously refine his skills. He gathers references from a collection of photos and experiments with various arrangements to achieve his artistic goals. Gary finds focus while painting to music in his tidy studio, surrounded by his works. Beyond art, Gary works as a marketing designer, explores 3D-printed sculptures, and enjoys playing tunes on the piano.

About the Artist
Naoko Paluszak began her career by studying graphic design in Tokyo, followed by several years working as a designer, before switching to oil painting. Now located in the United States, Naoko continues to develop her style through different series of paintings that have varying degrees of abstraction. By bridging representational with non-representational forms, the artist seeks to stir personal memories and spark new narratives. “Art is about having a sense of mystery and drama,” she says. Naoko is also passionate about color. She mixes her paints based on the intuitive emotions that different colors can trigger within the viewer, and within herself.
