Maura is an artist who has joyously jumped to the right side of her brain and loves playing with color after teaching Science for many years. It all started as a child, sitting under a tree in the backyard and drawing.

 

Now her muse inspires her to work in mixed media and Steampunk. She likes to use her imagination when creating art and is often inspired by books she’s read, the natural world and places she’s visited.

 

Maura currently works on several design teams where she creates for artists and companies such as Simon Says Stamp.

Doris has loved making things for as long as she can remember. As a child, her grandmother taught her to crochet and sew, and when she was six she got her first sewing machine and started making clothes for her dolls.

 

Over the years, Doris’ passion for crafting has expanded to other mediums and you will often find her surrounded by papers, inks, paints and glue.

 

She is a talented and diverse mixed media artist and painter who brings unique creations to life.
