Artist - Forrest Hills, New York
Artist Valerie Joy Lauria began drawing and developing a love for the craft at an early age. She went on to the Art Students League in New York, during the 1980's on scholarships, where she tudied drawing and painting.
Over the years her interests spread to digital photography, small sculptures, and currently, drawing. “I love fantasy, so everything I do is with humor, whimsy, and is fantastical,” she says. “I LOVE small detail, so everything I do is pretty small. I can't force the process, it has to come to me. It is hard for me to do anything that isn't lighthearted. My high school art teacher told the class that if I tried to draw Dracula, it would come out looking like Snow White!! LOL.”
“I have a number of interests, including animal advocacy, reading, collecting antique items, classical music and opera, and art. These are all part of my soul.”
You can see more of her work on DeviantArt and StudioVox.

Artist Melissa McGaughey describes herself as part daydreamer, part gamer and part nerd with a love of art and stories. Art, spirituality, fantastical realms, human emotion, and bad ass babes have always made up the majority of her daydreams ever since she was small, these themes have appeared over and over again in her art work.
She graduated in 2010 from Mercyhurst University with a bachelor's in the Arts and Humanities, a minor in Religious Studies, and a concentration in painting.
She recently, she has begun experimenting in Autodesk Sketchbook. “I hope to continue to hone my skills and eventually save up enough money to purchase a REAL desktop computer complete with Photoshop and Zbrush,” she says. “But, alas, until then I shall continue with my experiments and hope that you enjoy them!”
Artist - Munster, Germany
The work of Artist Maren Koenig is diverse. She feels equally comfortable creating very dark and melancholic illustrations and just as much as pretty, colorful works. Shortly after she was born in 1992 her parents moved from Germany to the USA. There, in Maryland, close to Washington DC, I spent my first years.
In 1999 we moved back to Germany and settled in Münster. I obtained my highschool degree with a focus on art and literature in 2012. Until 2015 I trained at the WAM Medienakademie in Dortmund and graduated in the field of illustration. Since then I am studying art history as well as Dutch language and culture at the University of Münster while additionally working as an illustrator.
“I love art.,” she says. “Whether it is my own art or seeing the art of others, whether I am creating or consuming. My goal is to learn as much and create as many beautiful things as possible.”
Illustrator - Toronto, Canada
Artist and (soon to be Astrophysicist) Waleed Shahzad was born in Pakistan, raised in Canada … and is fond of noodles. These are the quick facts about him.
He has practiced many art styles since he was 8 years old and is now a skilled carpenter. “I find inspiration in theory, philosophy, jazz, and all forms of writing,” he says. “I am a chronic sketcher and like to try my hand at new ideas."
"I am new to doing painting on photoshop and love all criticisms and ideas to improve my technique. I’ve never worked as a professional artist because I am working on becoming an Astrophysicist … that does cause my art to have cosmic tints.”
You can see more of his work on StudioVox.
Illustrator - Winter Park, Florida
Yrandiel is a young concept artist who loves making new character designs and putting them in a form of an illustration. Her real name is Skyler Fenenbock but anywhere on the Internet, she is known as Yrandiel! “You can find her works by searching this name!” she says.
What she loves is that, " There are no rules when it comes to art. There is no one way to make art. There are no boundaries. Not even the sky is the limit. As an artist, you make what comes from your heart and your soul." I would love to be a professional character concept artist and of course, I am still learning! I have SO much to learn, just like anyone else and that's the fun part about art. You're never done. You never settle. It's a never-ending learning experience but an absolutely amazing journey.
I am here to share my story and my works with you in hopes of inspiring people! Whether my work motivates you to get up in the morning or just inspires you to keep working on your own kinds of work, I am here for that!”
