Craig Alan
Born in 1971 in San Bernardino, California and raised in the Atlanta area, Craig first recognized his creative drive via crayons on his parents' walls, like many inspired young artists, and by the age of 7 his capacity for detailed visual interpretation became undeniable. After excelling in an introductory drawing class in school, Craig continued to develop technically and conceptually through his own diligent studies while always planning to pursue a formal art education.
Craig is humbled as he sees his work inspiring creativity among enthusiasts in various forms, including commercials and advertisement. He asserts, "Art needs to be responsible to its purpose; to inspire and enhance." To beginning artists he says encouragingly, "be yourself and do what YOU want to do, not what someone else advises or suggests," and in the words of his Pepaw, "Don't ever quit!"
Inam
Inam was born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan, and learned the fundamentals of sketching and painting at a young age under the tutelage of a dedicated art teacher who encouraged him to pursue his obvious artistic talent. Later, Inam decided to get a taste of the world and went traveling, attending three different art schools in London, Istanbul, and Atlanta, Georgia. The approach to art and creativity was very different at each school, and Inam gained immensely from the breadth of perspectives that he gained at these institutions, all of which contributed to his unique and original style, which has been dubbed “magical expressionism.”
Inam now resides in the United States and debuted as a professional artist in 2001. He has exhibited his work in cities ranging from Karachi to London to Las Vegas and his art is widely collected around the globe.
Mani
Mani Mustafa is the son of the world-renowned impressionist, Inam. Mani was able to learn the fundamentals of oil painting from his father at a very young age. Mani spent the majority of his early art career as an extension of his father. Though he was a painter, Mani never considered himself an artist at this point in time. After over a decade of painting landscape after landscape, it wasn't until 2014 that Mani discovered his own voice.
Mani was heavily inspired by the likes of Rene Magritte, Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, and Leonora Carrington. He believes the human imagination to be the most powerful tool on the planet. His art is an attempt to showcase simply how vast, absurd, and magical our imaginations really can be.
Shelley Helms Fleishman
Anna Grom
Anna Grom was born and grew up in Tallin, Estonia, a country in Northern Europe. She was exposed and taught to create art on a high technical level from a young age. She graduated from Togliatti State University in 2006 with a Bachelor's in Art and Design. After traveling the world, Anna moved to the U.S. to pursue her dream of becoming a professional artist. She settled in Atlanta where she experimented with different mediums and techniques. Traditional painting on canvas seemed restrictive, so Anna took on the challenge of working large with murals across Atlanta. Anna has grown into an accomplished artist, drawing inspiration from her travels and diverse experiences.
Her work demonstrates a free spirit and love of experimentation. In addition to murals, she is currently working on several other lines, combining diferent styles. Anna's unique artistic vision and experimentation continues to push boundaries in the world of contemporary art.
Shelley Helms Fleishman is a writer and an artist. Her art reflects her linguistic interest in the juxtaposition of made/found, but makes tactile connections with paints, papers, and the unexpected.
She is currently represented by several regional galleries and teaches workshops in mixed media and encaustic techniques. Although blogs seem to be a thing of the past, Shelley writes one contemplating parenting and making art.
Shelley’s art journey is constantly evolving. Her explorations result in a variety of mediums and techniques, making her work a junction of science and art. Look to her collections for pieces in beeswax, oil, acrylic, paper, and other mixed media.
Shelley now lives in Marietta, GA with her husband and two kids, in a house filled with other people’s art.
