NEWBERG ARTIST HONORED AT HOLLYWOOD AWARDS GALA Newberg, Oregon artist Ms. Gigi Hooper is a winner in the L. Ron Hubbard Illustrators of the Future Contest and was honored along with eleven other artists and twelve other writers at the Taglyan Complex in Hollywood, California on April 25th. She illustrated the story, "Summer of Thirty Years" by Writers of the Future Winner Lisa Silverthorne. The illustration and story, along with the other writers' and illustrators' stories and art are published in the international bestselling anthology, L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 40 which will be officially released on May 7th. Born in 1985 in East Chicago, Indiana, Peggy Hooper is a versatile artist whose creativity knows no bounds. Known in the art world by her moniker, Gigi Hooper, she's a child of the 90s, drawing early inspiration from iconic pop culture. Simultaneously, Gigi was deeply influenced by the enchanting worlds of books in young adult, children's books, and comic books which have fostered a love for sweet, fantastical, and mind-bending literature. Gigi's artistic journey began in her childhood, her experimental nature led her to beautify and unintentionally destroy her mother's personal property. However, throughout her life, Gigi's mother remained her steadfast supporter, purchasing her first set of art supplies, which only continued to encourage her creative process. While her path took her through diverse careers as a United States Marine and a personal trainer, Gigi eventually returned to her true calling. She completed her degree in Illustration from George Fox University and graduated with a B.A. in the field. Currently residing in Newberg, Oregon, with her husband, Gigi specializes in digital art, collage, and pencil work, although her artistic palette embraces various mediums. Today, she continues her artistic journey, pursuing independent studies at Watts Atelier while actively engaging in freelance work, bringing her captivating visions to life one creation at a time.

Brian Buckrell is a full-time Canadian painter. After a long, successful career as a Professor of Veterinary Medicine, he made the decision to switch to a career doing one of the hardest things known to humankind: painting fine art. The transition wasn't easy - especially doing so much later in life while in his sixties. He admits there were times he felt like quitting. However, he stuck with it. Brian doggedly continued developing his painting skills. Recognizing the importance of learning the fundamentals of the craft, he attended many workshops and enrolled full-time at the highly acclaimed Jeff Watts Atelier. Buckrell's determination and dedication to the craft finally paid off.

Because of the joy viewers experience in seeing his art, Brian's colorful paintings grace the homes of many collectors around the world. Acrylic is Brian's medium of choice. Modern innovations and developments in acrylic paint provide an exciting medium and playground for Brian to explore and experiment. It allows him to paint quickly what he loves to paint in the way he wants to paint. And, most of all – have fun!
