Katey Cooper is an incredible painter with a unique vision. Inspired by the shapes of organic matter and empassioned by existence itself, she redefines life and reorganizes it to create a new reality on the canvas. Her masterful gold leafing serves to bring her shapes to life in an amazing visual journey.

Dalia Kaplan's illustrations are both wonderfully sensitive and boldly graphic in design. My personal favorites are the beautiful FRUIT LADIES and the CERAMIC CHICKENS.
