BRONSON WHYTCROSS

“I don’t know how to ride [a] skateboard, but every time I go to Venice beach, I’m in awe at those who ride the concrete wave.” This series is purely coincidental but captures a moment in time, the true artists themselves (the riders) as they carve the cement with their wheels…”

RHONDA DENT

“Both of my images showcased within Birdies were shot in Palm Springs and I was so inspired by the dry desolate landscape; being born in the West Coast where everything is so rainy and green and vibrant, the dessert landscape truly inspired a creative eye within me and the story of the desert unfolded.”
(EMPTY SEVEN, 2012)

NADA HAYEK

Nada is a Vancouver-based illustrator who’s love of graphic novels, campiness, knick knacks, and nostalgia is a major source of inspiration in her work, which is characterized by a blend of tongue-in-cheek humour and bold colours. Her art often makes use of unexpected juxtapositions as she explores nostalgia, and the joy found in simple objects.

ALFONSO DE LA CRUZ

“I learned to play with colour and composition at an early age; my mother is an interior designer and I grew up looking at Charles Eames and Herman Miller catalogues almost everyday. I was also raised by my great grandmother who would tell me all sorts of stories daily and I was intrigued by storytelling from that point on.”

SEAN JANTZI

In bold, flat colours, Sean Jantzi’s paintings speak through a language of contemporary pop, where playful connotations act like advertisements for the good life… there is a thread of nostalgia and a laid-back atmosphere that runs through his entire body of work.
(SUMMER STUDY NO. 3, 2023)

SANDRA LOWE

Sandra Lowe is a photographer from Vancouver who has recently moved to LA. The sun and diverse culture in the big city are her most current inspirations. There is something to be captured with every turn, from the streets of Hollywood Blvd to the salmon pink skies of the desert.
