Here are a few bios of some of the more interesting artists
we carry:
Michael Sowa 
Long before the international echoes generated through the press
from Sowa's exhibition at the renowned Wilhelm Busch Museum in Hanover,
Germany, the fans of Michael Sowa seemed to be magnetically drawn
toward his paintings and their thoughtful contradictions between
the comic and the solemn.
The native of Berlin prefers to let his work speak for itself. In
fact, he chooses not to reveal his motives or objectives in creating
his paintings.
Michael Sowa is neither a painter in the classical sense or a caricaturist.
He projects his unique characters; athletically-inclined airborne
pigs, tiny, well-dressed rabbits and humans with their oversized
insect companions, into dreamlike reality where everyone and everything
seems perfectly at home.
Rudi Hurzlmeier 
Rudi Hurzlmeier was born in 1952 in Lower Bavaria. In his early
life he worked as a gas station attendant, fruit picker and other
jobs. He came to Munich in the 70's and worked there mostly as an
occasional painter and object artist. His work is regularly shown
in magazines such as, Stern, Penthouse, Titanic, Kowalski, in addition
to many others. Hurzlmeier also has done work in the television
medium. As of today, more than 20 books have been released at Lappen
Publishing. Rudi presently resides with his family in Munich.
Phillip Craig
Philip Craig was born in Ottawa in 1951. He began his art studies
in high school. After graduation, Philip continued on to Sheridan
College in Oakville, Ontario as a graphic design student.
In 1971, he returned to Ottawa to work for the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation as a television graphic/set designer. IN 1975, he became
Art Director for th e C. B. C. in St. John's Newfoundland. By 1985,
demand for Philip's work had become so great, he returned to Ottawa
to pursue his Fine Arts talent full-time.
Philip now works exclusively in oils. His work is represented throughout
Canada, the United States, England and Europe.
