Each piece starts with a bare wood panel, complete with random grain patterns and variations.  This natural surface is then saturated with paint, both accentuating and obscuring these marks, in the process creating an atmosphere that is only partly my doing.  Within, entire environments are created- trees, mountains, earth, light and air, as well as living creatures, both real and imagined.  Often taking the form of the northern forests of my youth, these scenes are places of great play and whimsy, where woodland animals inhabit the waking and dreaming worlds. Kristiana Pärn is an Estonian born artist living and working in New York City.  At the age of seventeen she launched her art career, studying with Estonian painter Marje Berlokko.  Shortly after graduation, Kristiana moved to New York City to study animation at The School of Visual Arts.  Since 2005, she has focused exclusively on illustration work, starting out as a textile designer for various Manhattan studios.  In 2006, Kristiana established her own studio in Brooklyn.  Her work has been shown throughout the United States and abroad.

Joey Ma was born and raised in Hong Kong. He started getting interested in art during the last two years of high school. Then Joey moved to Los Angeles to study Economics at University of Southern California and took a few painting classes. That’s when Joey discovered his passion in using oil paints and ever since then, Joey has been doing oil paintings regularly for the last eight years.      Joey has developed his current style by experimenting with pure oil paints mixes with chunks of wax to create a unique texture for the paintings. His bold use of all different kinds of colors and brush strokes certainly gives a strong impact on his paintings.

Suzanne was born in 1977 and live and work in Glasgow, Scotland. She worked as a full time artist for a few years now,  and exhibited in many galleries all over England and the USA. Her art is a deep expression of a somewhat lost childhood innocence in all of us. It resembles a need to find reason in what we see, it challenges our thoughts of comfort, safety and social acceptance, it challenges our preconceived ideas of childhood. It touches on the taboos of bringing children and death closer than is normally comfortable and evokes a sense of overwhelming calmness, and perhaps contempt to the viewer. Abandonment features heavily, the sense of loss and longing. And of being alone in the world. The sheer stillness of her girls poses are accentuated with the movement around them, in their flowing hair or landscapes. Offering what seems like just a brief moment of their world, catching a glimpse of their lives and their emotions. The girls featureless faces force the surrounding paintings into describing the scene for the viewer. Their faces lack of form are more childlike (and almost foetus like) and the lack of emotion is tinged with powerful wounded messages of grief tinged with hope

Sarah Britten works in a somewhat unusual medium: lipstick. She started working with it in 2002 and it remained a hobby for several years. It was only when she became involved with a Range Rover campaign in late 2010 that she began to paint cityscapes. This is the first lipstick cityscape she ever painted, for Land Rover’s marketing manager Roland Reid Lipstick is wonderful to work with: the colours are extraordinary and it’s possible to write into the paint to reveal the white board beneath. This allows her to imbue the work with layers of meaning. Ideally each work should grab the viewer on an emotional level at first viewing, and then slowly reveal itself on each subsequent examination. The idea is that the viewer will see something different every time he or she looks at the work.

"Hello, world. I am a Brooklyn, New York based selftaught illustrator. Several years ago when I was stuck in my life, I quit everything and started to paint hoping to find a new prospect in my life and nurture my inner child. Since then, I have been painting.  My artwork comes from everyday life in my neighborhood. I draw, paint and print in my loft studio. Most of the materials I use are also from the neighborhood. I get inspiration from beautiful Prospect Park. I run along the Brooklyn Bridge Park. I see beautiful sunset from my rooftop. I walk around in my neighborhood with a sketchbook. And I meditate in my studio to be present.  I’m trying to bring out the five-year old in people through my artwork. Because I believe that is the last moment before children start learning how complicated the world is, and that was when I once stopped drawing. It took me decades to come back to myself. Now? Here I am drawing everyday!" Awards: New York Times Best Illustrated Picture Book 2012 National Parenting Publication Award, Gold 2012 Gelett Burgess Children's Book Award 2012
