Ruth Oosterman is a Canadian artist who strives to capture the chaos of her mind and the fascination for realism into art form. Her greatest motivation comes from her three year old daughter who has taught her how to accept "mistakes" as part of the artistic process and embrace the unexpected. Through this new found confidence she has embarked on a series called "Collaborations with my Toddler" and paints side by side with her toddler, Eve. When Eve sleeps, Ruth allows the chaos of her mind to run wild among the nighttime hours in order to expand her artistic boundaries and create her own solo work.
I am a self taught part time artist living in Norway. I love to draw and I draw both pieces made to order as well as cards for sale at a local shop.
I make gift tags, albums, guest books, personalized cards and pictures,- whatever comes my way!
I am dreaming of writing and illustrating a childrens book, as well as getting my own line of stamps.
Lauren Saxton is a self-taught artist who lives in Arizona with her husband and cats. Much of her work is influenced by fairy tales, history, and nature, and she wants her work to transport the viewer to sweetly mysterious and magical places. She found a deep connection with the pop surrealism movement and began to pursue her artwork more seriously in 2009, and has sold her work ever since both online and through galleries.
I'm an Indonesian born visual artist and self taught doll maker. My work is inspired mostly by my childhood memories, fairy tales, and dreams. I have been a lot of things before I came to where I am today. A graphic designer, a teacher, a baker and an illustrator. Nowadays, I'm happy to say that I'm a full time artist and mother.
