I was drawn to Thomas's work because of the intricate designs and his use of colors and textures.

Somefield (present)

While I couldn't find much information about this artist, I was still incredibly drawn by their work. I love their use of very imaginative subjects and their creative use of color. A lot of their images give off a vintage feel to them, which is very visually pleasing.

Maggie Taylor (1961-present)

Maggie Taylor, born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1961, is an artist who specializes in digital images. Her work has been widely exhibited in the United States as well as Europe. She received her BA degree in philosophy from Yale University, then went on to the University of Florida in 1987, where she got her MFA degree in photography. In 1996, after ten years of being a still life photographer, Taylor began working with the computer and Adobe Photoshop to create her images. She produces prints by scanning objects into a computer, then layers and manipulates these images to create a surrealistic montage.

Sandrine Estrade Boulet (present)

Sandrine Estrade Boulet is an artist who is greatly inspired by the urban environment around her. She finds random objects and different things in the streets and creates illustrations based off of what she sees. I love Boulet's work simply because of how creative and imaginative it is. What might look like a piece of trash to one person, may be another work of art for Boulet.

Mark Tucker (present)

Mark Tucker, based in Nashville Tennessee, is a commercial photographer who is most well known for his Lifestyle and Portrait photography. His work has been featured in Communication Arts, Photo Design, Photo Insider, and PhotoMarket magazines. I was interested in Tucker's work, especially his portraits, because of the unique way he captures his subjects' emotions and facial expressions in his photographs. While his portraits are very unique and beautiful, he also photographs landscapes, lifestyle, and animals.
