The purpose behind Mohamed's artwork is to challenge the ability to see and hear the art itself, rather than putting meaning to it. He believes it is its own entity and seeks to be seen and heard. While he is mainly focused on pottery and ceramics, Mohamed is not afraid to dive headfirst into other medias.

I am grateful to be participating once more, at this amazing event. Thank you to everyone who made this possible. Let the Art Battle begin!

Chelsey Petersen, artist commonly known as 2neuro started out with Crayola crayons and coloring books. After a career in the field following college, she left behind her B.S. Diploma from Creighton University. She decided to focus on her art. Many said she was crazy, and she was. Also, supported and successful. In the past decade her art forms and styles are constantly learning and evolving. Some of her favorites include body painting, murals, mixed media canvas work, acrylics, and photography.

I am more than thrilled to be presenting my love for Art, LIVE at the Omaha Art Battle Championships. I cannot express how much color is needed in this world. And so I am here to bring the color—every action and every creation… I am not here to focus on the bad all around us—but to show the beauty in creativity and to celebrate it. Because the beauty of creativity is in every one of us.
