About Matt Deifer : www.deifer.com
A serious artist for over ten years now, Matt Deifer harnesses the world of the surreal into the realm of the passionate and spiritual with paintings meant to stimulate senses you never even knew you had. With Wassily Kandinsky's innovative work involving the marriage of vision and sound always in mind, Deifer's work is designed to put universal unity on display. His pieces, which evoke everything from emotional chaos to the deepest, calmest spiritual place you've ever been, flow into each other much like the songs on your favorite mixtape.
Matt Deifer was born and raised in Coplay, Pennsylvania, where he started to shape his original style of creative art. As a graduate of the Roy H. Park School of Communications at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York, Matt played an intrinsic part in starting the See Spot Art Gallery in the Ithaca Commons, an area noted in numerous publications as being among the most enlightened in the country. While he has since moved back to his hometown, Ithaca fed Matt's hunger for the type of live, free-form music he always listens to while creating, and he can often be found painting live at art events throughout Pennsylvania and New York. Whether helping to start art cafes or promoting the musicians that help fuel his creative fire, Matt is quickly becoming a prominent figure in the cultural rebirth of the Lehigh Valley.
A "think big" expressionist in all he does, Matt Deifer is also an accomplished photographer, graphic designer and promoter; he's developed cover art for numerous bands and organizes festivals and other events for Funtown, a company he currently runs. Feel free to contact him at info@deifer.com and check out all of the links above to get a true feel for all Deifer can do. You'll see that his creative flow has the power to unite the senses we try too hard to keep separate.

Born in Gdansk, Poland in 1978, Veronica was raised by her father, Zbigniew, a sculptor with work in the Renwick Smithsonian and other national galleries and her mother, Agnieszka, an accomplished painter.

She saw how both worked together and has ever since explored the creative possibilities giving her a unique edge in the industry. She has photographed the likes of Iggy Pop, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction, Audioslave, A Perfect Circle and many others. Founder of nulinegraphics.com and vera-icon.com and co-creator of femalepersuasion.net, she has been published in the Web Index for 2005 as one of the best designers and in Curvy Book by Yen Magazine as one of the best graphic designers of 2006.
