Hanna Nyman (present)

Hanna Nyman, a Swedish textile designer, specializes in intricately-designed wallpaper that is both three-dimensional and interactive. Having graduated from Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts, and Design in Stockholm, Nyman works mostly with patterns that change shape, as she enjoys the tension when something beautiful transforms into something new or acquires an unexpected function. She also creates origami sculptures and lights. Her work has been exhibited at A World of Folk, a craft and design fair in Norway. Nyman admits her work is more about telling a story, saying that her work is "narrative rather than functional."

Frederick Brosen (1954-present)

His work, including his most famous series, "Still New York: Watercolors by Frederick Brosen," has been exhibited in the Museum of the City of New York.


"A true son of the city who celebrates every urban detail from our most lavish and opulent landmarks to our most humble neglected curbsides, Rick Brosen paints with exquisite virtuosity. He is an artist who helps us see anew the treasure that surrounds us."
- Susan Henshaw Jones (President/Director of the Museum of the City of New York)

Gregory Colbert (1960-present)

Gregory Colbert, born in Toronto, Canada in 1960, began his career in Paris creating documentary films regarding social issues. Colbert's filmmaking led him to become a fine arts photographer. His first public exhibition as a photographer was in 1992 at the Musée de l’Elysée in Switzerland. For the next ten years, Colbert traveled around the world to places such as India, Egypt, Kenya, and Antarctica, where he filmed and photographed the interactions he saw between man and animals. His most famous exhibition, launched in 2002, is titled "Ashes and Snow," which is an ongoing project. More than 10 million people have attended his show since its debut in 2002.

“When I started Ashes and Snow in 1992, I set out to explore the relationship between man and animals from the inside out. In discovering the shared language and poetic sensibilities of all animals, I am working towards restoring the common ground that once existed when people lived in harmony with animals.”

- Gregory Colbert

Elizabeth Turk (1961-present)

Elizabeth Turk, born in Pasadena, California in 1961, is a sculptor who's main medium is marble. Other art projects of hers include works in metal, glass, and porcelain, as well as drawings, photography, and video. In 1983, Turk received her B.F.A. in International Relations at Scripps College in California, then, in 1994, she received her M.F.A. from the Rinehart School of Sculpture in Maryland. Some of her most famous sculptures are a part of "The Collars," a series of sixteen delicately carved sculptures that explore both organic and geometric patterns. What drew me to Turk's work is her ability to take such a heavy medium and make  something that looks seemingly weightless and pliable.

Paul Alexander Thornton (present)

Paul Alexander Thornton's work is definitely out of the ordinary. He takes different mediums and combines them to create one unified piece. In one of his series, he uses photographs of people's heads then creates their bodies with pencil, marker, and other mediums. Another one of his series, he creates quirky looking plants using things such as biro, colored pencils, and maker pens.

Sannah Kvist (present)

Sannah Kvist, who is based in Gothenburg and Stockholm, is a freelance photographer. She is currently studying in Gothenburg for a BFA in photography. Her photographs range from portraits to random and simple objects in everyday life. She has done work for People Magazine, Neon Magazine, and many others. While her work is fairly simple, her compositions are what make her pieces so interesting. She takes simple subjects and displays them in an unexpected way.

Eduardo Recife (present)

Eduardo Recife began his work with just creating fonts. He eventually branched out into drawings and collages. His personal works and projects now are all a mixture of collages, drawings, as well as some of his fonts he has created. Recife's art gives off a vintage feel to them and intrigues the audience with interesting compositions, colors, and subject matters.
