Amy Glaser was born in 1971, in Newton, New Jersey. Her formative years were in rural Hunterdon County, NJ. Ms. Glaser earned her B.A in 1993 from Kentucky Wesleyan College, with a double major of Art and Psychology. From 1992 -1994, Amy was an Artist in Residence at Ichthus Studios Art Park, in Owensboro, Kentucky, where Ms. Glaser created art workshops for adult art education, assisted with exhibition curation, while also producing her own studio work.

From 1993-1994 she developed and facilitated group art sessions while a counsellor with the Kentucky Impact Program; a program which provides in-home services for emotionally disturbed youth. As a selected US Peace Corps Volunteer (1994), she served a challenging and rewarding two year term in Guatemala, Central America, working in the Appropriate Technology Program. During this time she also created a fundraising project generated in part from sales of her original art. All monies raised supported sustainable projects in which she was involved. She also participated in two group shows, one in the Galeria de Arte in Slama, Baja Verapaz and another in Galeria La Fuente, Antigua, Guatemala. Upon returning from Peace Corps (1996), Amy became a member of the Hunterdon Art Museum where she exhibited and sold in the juried members' exhibition. Studying under Bernie Marek in 1998 was a highlight in her artistic training. This training greatly influences Amy’s work to this day.

Ad Arma is a versatile artist. Besides his graphic work, he paints and makes glass and ceramic sculptures. Often, the same theme can be found throughout his work: the coincidence of past and future in the dreams of the present.

Ad Arma was a part of Confluence 2012 - An Exhibition of Contemporary Art from Europe & Asia and Resurgence 2012 – International Group Exhibition organized by VAM Art Inc. at VAM Art Gallery, Metuchen, NJ, United States.

Ad Arma finds inspiration not only in that twilight zone of subconscious and conscious, but also in daily life, both near and far. His restlessness drives him to travel and explore. He has sailed Arabian seas and visited India, Nepal and Japan. These experiences inspired his senses and brought new considerations to his art; new Impressions, landscapes, colours, smells, conversations with people from completely different cultural background. Nepali red and gold tones, pieces of the world map, navigation points, and mathematical Indian basic patterns can be found in his etchings.

Ximena Steevens and Mauricio Velez are the artist duet known as ABSTRACTUS since 2002, when they decided to condense all of their material and conceptual experimentation and research (personal and aesthetic) within a concept, to reflect the truth in ways that help to find freedom from the turbulent world around us. Theirs, has been an evolutionary process of shared exploration throughout Europe, US, Canada and Latin America. Their work draws from the use of collective thoughts and interpretations from life’s distinctive array of facets, comprised by emotional crossing motivated by their relationship (they are married) and distinct aesthetic experiences.

ABSTRACTUS was a part of Continuum 2013 – International Exhibition of Mixed Media Art which was held at VAM Art Gallery, Metuchen, NJ, United States.

Present human existence as a paradoxical fact is the core of Abstractus’ work. Through art, they try to disturb, or at least question the alienation that we all love so much, while unsustainable future is under construction by careless insiders in this impassive chaos.
