Interview with Gloria Keh
We appreciate you taking the time to speak with us again. Could you please give us a brief overview of the new art project titled "Environmental Series"?
Making art for the environment is nothing new for me. Every year, I paint one or two works for Earth Day as I believe in honouring Mother Earth. The earth is our home planet. It is the only one we got. But this year, I was invited to participate in a four-member group exhibition in South Korea. And decided to create a specific new series of 12 paintings dedicated to the care and protection of our environment. Because the audience was going to be Koreans, I included Korean texts in Korean scripts in some of the works.

´´My ritual drawings are a mix of sizes, that aren’t sketches or plans for something bigger. Their reason and meaning are not a means to an end.
Lauren Marx
Sinuous, intertwined wildlife bridge worlds of the living and the dead in Lauren Marx’s intricate multi-media work. Twisting fox heads, disemboweled deer, and lambs bursting with flowers and birds are rendered with watercolor, ink, pen, and colored pencil. Marx often places her animal compositions on semi-abstract backgrounds, awash with grey tones that give a sense of weightlessness to the dense drawings by evoking fog or clouds.

Interview with Carlos Abraham
How would you describe yourself and your artwork?
I describe myself as a thinker, showing my images with a personal style and where each image shows that precise moment in just a few seconds and also the character is transmitting what I have in mind. I try to take pictures with ideas that I feel attracted to since the beginning, leaving my mark as an architect. I studied for my Bachelor’s degree in architecture in Mexico. I have a double nationality; Mexican and Lebanese.
Interview with Kana Hawa
What is a barrier you as an artist overcame? Is there anything that enabled you to develop your work as an artist in your life?
As an artist, I don't have much trouble expressing myself. Because I've absorbed a lot of things, and I've always expressed them as art, and my expression has always evolved. The problem with my activities as an artist is how to get people to see my work. I'm not rich, so I needed some ingenuity to spread my work. We've solved them by using the Internet effectively, but it's not perfect yet. We will have to continue to deal with those problems.
