Patrick Antonelle has been painting for over three decades continuously in pursuit of perfecting his talent. Although an alumnus of the School of Visual Arts at the Brooklyn Museum and the Art Students League, it has been mostly self-education and confidence that has guided him from novice to master of his profession.

When not painting the landscapes of Pennsylvania or the seascapes of Long Island, Patrick has most recently been portraying the many facades and moods of New York City, Central Park and their environs.

Originally from the Netherlands, Hanneke deNeve learned to be resourceful and industrious from a young age. This comes with growing up on a farm. Her studies took her to Tilburg Katholieke Leergangen where she learned about the history of art, fashion, design and printmaking. With teaching degrees for both art and crafts, deNeve taught high school for five years. She moved to the United States in 1974 as a young mother of three sons, and there she used materials economically and worked mostly in fabric appliqués, which gave rise to her work in fiber art. In 1979, deNeve started to make monotypes, some of which were reworked into collages. Her fibercollages, paintings, watercolors and mixed media are figurative and all linked. They depict an imaginary universe with landscapes, people, still lifes and dreams—often inspired by real events and people.
