Artists Biographies
In order to fulfill our monument objective of emoting a true personal experience. The art must carry the burden of depicting, with high impact, the intensity, horror and challenge of Battle. The viewer needs to be brought, emotionally and visually into the challenges and bravery demanded upon Veterans to overcome tyranny and preserve the freedoms they enjoy.
Each of our Combat Artists work is devoted to illustrating the true nature of war and putting you directly into the fight. Their work, now combined with other colleagues art provide an experience, panel after panel on the monument, that provides the visual and emotional experience for visitors that reinforces the memories of those who gave their all to preserve Democracy.
