THOMAS GRONBUK started painting in oil, acrylic and pastels six years ago. His color choices infuse his landscapes with an emotional dimension that runs from breezy to intense. He credits his mother, a fabric designer, with laying the foundation for his sense of color and design. "She was always focused on color harmony, warms and cools," he remembers. Since graduating in the fall 2001, Grønbukt has decided to make the United States his home and to pursue his fine art while serving as a drawing and painting instructor at The Academy of Art University in San Francisco.

PETER MARS has been the leader of Chicago’s Avant Pop Movement for the past fifteen years.
