Born in UK in 1992, Ben Giles earned a BA in Fine Art at Kingston University and currently works as a freelance artist in Norwich.  His work is defined by his handmade collages, utilizing antique and vintage materials to create often colorful and detailed artworks. The collage often spills into other mediums such as sculpture, paint and illustration. His work is inspired from many different things such as color, nature, juxtaposition, children’s encyclopedias, repetition, and metamorphosis. Ben has focused on working with commercial commissions for several years, such as magazine editorials, fashion labels and advertising campaigns. Clients include: Google, Apple, New York Times Magazine, Vice Magazine, Wall Street Journal, GQ, Elle, Bloomberg Businessweek, and more.

Elizabeth Rosen is a trained graphic designer (BFA from Parsons) and a self-taught painter. This design background almost always permeates Elizabeth’s art, and the combination has influenced most aspects of her path as an artist. While most illustrators have one ‘look’ or style, Elizabeth creates with a wide range of styles and mediums. “There’s always some kind of order to things- a graphic simplicity- or organized chaos. I have a fascination with visual problem solving and some sort of grid to organize the various elements, and I often use typography as a primary or secondary element. Creating mixed-media pieces thrill me. Traditional painting with collaged elements, the juxtaposition of vintage items with contemporary ones, upcycling, and the hunt for interesting elements is certainly part of the fun. I truly love to get my hands dirty.”

Laura Ladendorf is an interdisciplinary artist with a long career in graphic design and illustration. In addition to traditional illustration modes she also works in printmaking and book arts. The “artist book” form offers a world of possibilities for illustrative play — mixing media and telling stories with every project. Her preferred media include pen and ink, water-based paints, relief printing — occasionally mixing it all together in collage. For finely detailed technical illustrations she uses digital software – Illustrator and Photoshop.

For ten years, Sarah Arnett designed a womenswear collection, which sold in over 100 luxury stores worldwide.

Sarah works across a range of mediums, including hand-painting, photography and digital-illustration. Clients include: Dior, American Express, Metropolitan, Royal Ascot, Myself, and the Illustrated Recipe, The National Trust, TEKTURA, and more.“Whatever I turn my hand to, there’s always a narrative running through my work. Influenced by flora, fauna, film, poetry, architecture and – of course – travel, I think of my aesthetic as a cocktail of adventure, color and pattern: a fantasy style that lets you into an indulgent paradise and leaves you feeling like you’ve woken from a dream.”
