Welcome to our very special 'Winners Issue' of UConMag.com: A Contemporary Arts Communique. We are proud to feature the five talented winning artists of United Creators' first annual juried online arts competition. In exclusive interviews with Mary-Anne Murphy (drawing), Robin Antar (sculpture), Fabrice Covelli (sculpture / installation), Pascal (sculpture) and Charles Grogg (photography), we discover the beginnings, inspirations and creative processes of these five different yet each highly creative artistic visionaries. United Creators received hundreds of artist entries for its first online competition. Although the judges had the difficult task of reviewing many talented entrants, they were unanimous in their praise and decision to award Ms. Murphy, Ms. Antar, Mr. Covelli, Pascal and Mr. Grogg the top honors. We hope you will enjoy and discover why these five artists made an indelible impression on United Creators and UConMag.com.
