murals, mixed-media pieces and installations; all created with reclaimed-objects and found artifacts. He paints
and draws in a style considered as Postgraffism, but he prefers to call it urban-pop, since he has lived most of
his life in urban, populated areas and most of his inspiration is derived from the inter activity between man and
his urban environment.

we have understood and learned from life. Throughout her art career she has displayed her work in multiple art

Emily Kwong
Elimy is a peabody reident and painter who explores the human figure as a vehicle for allegory and painting the
figure as a means of exploring the human condition. Each painting is developed intuitively. Her work offers an
introspective exploration of self while presenting an empathetic reflection of humanity. She says the paintings
ask more questions than they provide answers, and in that, generate a beautifully emotional poetic resonance.
Scott Froeshl
Scott Froeschl is an artist living on the North Shore of Boston, Massachusetts. He was born on Long Island,
New York and moved to Vermont, where he discovered the wonders of the natural world. Scott says he was able
to connect with the natural surroundings and enjoy the purpose and structure of our delicate environment. His
passion is painting in acrylics on a myriad of surfaces, anywhere from traditional canvas to the heads of screws.
Scott says photography is also an avenue of creativity, as well as sculpture and multimedia. What he loves most
about art is the process of creating. Scott says he does not have one specific genre he likes to stick to, and feels
that his exploration of a variety of materials and formulation of ideas make for an interesting body of work.
