Based in Norfolk, UK, Sarah Jarrett is fascinated and inspired by the human relationship with nature and the natural world. A prolific book cover artist, she has been widely published throughout her long career from prints to stationery to packaging. She loves making bread and kombucha in her spare time, and has two grown up children.
Ashikin Hussin, aka Eureka, lives in Malaysia. She is inspired by nature, animations, literature, and everyday life. Her obsession with celestial bodies adds a whimsical element to her art. When she isn’t creating, you can find her going through book stores and hunting in antique shops.
Matt Small paints on found objects to create striking anonymous portraits of people he photographs on the streets of London. “The theme of my work is young, dispossessed people: individuals who feel undervalued, who don’t have a voice, who often get overlooked.”
Gabriela grew up in El Salvador, surrounded by volcanoes, Mexican ceramics, and tropical flowers. She received her Masters from Camberwell College of Arts, London, where she lives with her husband and children. It is here that she discovered art as a way to express her world and imagination.
Monika Forsberg loves drawing almost everything, but her favorite things to draw are ducks. She lives in London, and finds inspiration for her flower drawings by walking down the road and looking at everyone’s gardens.
Vasilisa paints with both digital and traditional media, incorporating botanical elements, intricate patterns, and fauna into her artwork. She imagines her paintings to be a window into a magical world, much like reading fairy tales as a child.
