Rachael Shores is a travel and visionary artist. She works mostly in watercolor, painting favorite travel scenes or people's visions from dreams and meditations. She currently lives in Germany with her husband and working in an Irish pub. Her next big life goal is writing her travel stories from all 7 continents which will be illustrated by her travel sketchbooks.

Laumee Fries loves to create art that is both tender and bold. She paints abstract and figurative paintings with eco-friendly materials, creates textile art, makes drawings inspired by myths, fairy tales and life itself - and illustrates her own stories. She lives in Germany with her husband and her cat and currently works on new textile artworks and a graphic novel.
