Marcos Dorado is a remarkable artist who captures each person’s personality through drawings. When I saw his drawings, the first thing that I noticed was his painstaking attention to detail. Drawing people is not that easy, especially when you view art the same way as Marcos does. Each of his work is a combination of research, skill, and creativity. Aside from taking the time to sketch and draw his subjects, Marcos also takes the time to get to know his subjects better if possible. Drawings are not merely drawings, but art that is meant to educate each and everyone about appreciating and respecting the uniqueness of each individual.  Read more

Craig Mendez is a freelance photographer in Fresno. He started taking interest in photography when he was in high school, but left it behind him for 30 years. He then continued his pursuit in photography, but it wasn’t until 10 years ago that he realized he has a passion for taking pictures as well as a talent for creating something extraordinary with just one shot. Craig still has a connection with old-school photography, mostly using a film camera to capture shots. Negatives are scanned and processed in a computer for editing, using a Photoshop software that was introduced to him by his son. Amazingly enough, his technical know-how in editing pictures is self-taught.  Read more

Stephanie Allison is an interesting local artist here in Fresno, mainly because her paintings and creations have a certain feel of historical fashion. If you look closely at her work, all females featured in her art are created with styles that mark a certain era in the history and world of fashion. Another amazing thing about her art is the detail that she puts in every stroke of her brush. The features are so striking; you will always be drawn to the face of each character, with each and every one of them sharing similar traits yet still bear that distinct characteristic that will certainly identify one from the other. What I find striking about Stephanie is her ability to dedicate such detail to every piece of her creations while balancing her time between working and studying. She’s currently studying at Fresno City College and plans to transfer to Fresno State in order to get her credentials for teaching art.  Read more
