About our Artists
 |
MONICA SCHOLL sets the tone for our photo card line with her soft water colors
that evoke rich memories of holiday gatherings and family traditions. She is a graduate of the School of Visual
Arts and the mother of a young son named Holden. She has years of experience as a muralist, 3D
designer, window dresser for a national department store, and has been an apprentice under
a famous NYC pastry chef.
It adds up to a lot of flavor that
she generously shares with C&O! |

BRIAN
KRIVAK is an artist’s artist. His love of art is so much a part of him that
it is impossible to separate the artist from the person. He brings our designs to life. He
is a spiritualist who believes in living in the moment and truly does it.
Brian graduated from the Pratt
Institute with a major in commercial art. A former actor, he is nowadays in great demand
as an artist-muralist. |
 |
He lives between New Jersey, where he works for C&O, and Miami,
where he lives in a cottage and works on his tropical paintings. He has been influenced by
Caravaggio, Gaugin and muralist Diego Rivera. Can you recognize that influence in our
designs? |

DANA
CHAPMAN is the perfect blend of artist and draftsman. She understands what Cooper & Oliver is all about and illustrates our designs from the heart.
She is a perfectionist as well and never complains, no matter how often we change our minds! Dana graduated from William Paterson University in 2001 with a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design and a minor in Art History.
|
She is also a Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer, which has allowed her to combine her passion for fitness with a source of income to help pay for college.
She is greatly influenced by the style and philosophy of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Like him, her love of nature has a tremendous influence on her artwork.
Dana is a highly valued addition to our staff! |
