Linda La Rose is currently exiting a 26-year graphic design position to become a full-time illustrator. She is pursuing a degree in sculpture at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. She has been painting since age 12.

Todd Marrone. In 1974, God made a beautiful glowing ball of creativity, sprinkled it with art dust, wrapped it in skin, installed an abrasive voice box and called it Todd Marrone. I say this, not as a megalomaniac who writes in the first person, but as a friend.

Suzanne Comer. The beautiful areas around her current home near Philadelphia inspired Suzanne to explore digital photography and its use as an art form. Her work is influenced by her background in fine arts and graphics. Suzanne's digital photo-art pieces have been featured in many area juried exhibitions.
