Charles Harrop-Griffiths is a London born British Mixed Media artist currently residing in Bermuda. His work balances on the edge of a physical and digital art process in response to the imbalance between reality and technology today. He produces etchings, paintings, photography as well as a wide range of digitally produced images, animations and Virtual Reality experiences. His subjects differ widely, but relate closely to the impact of technology on society. He has a keen interest in the importance of architecture, nature and history which he attempts to reflect in his work. Charles has a background working in the film and architecture industries, and studied Art History BA at University of Nottingham, and Fine Art MA at University of the Arts London.
Leigh Brooklyn is a Multidisciplinary Artist currently based in Ohio. In 2006 Brooklyn enrolled into the Columbus College of Art and Design. Later she transferred to The Cleveland Institute of Art after being inspired by the work of forensic artists who helped in a missing-person’s case. She earned her degree in Biomedical Illustration in 2011. Brooklyn worked with several hospitals, museums, and research facilities including the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, The Cleveland Botanical Gardens, The Cleveland Museum of Natural History, and Case Western Reserve University.
After 2011 Brooklyn moved throughout the country gaining artistic inspiration from various individuals she met through her street photography. After hearing all the incredible stories of those she encountered and drawing from her own personal experiences Brooklyn decided to switch her work’s focus back to her roots of figurative drawing and oil painting creating portraits from her many subjects in the downtown Los Angeles area.
