Aisling Doolan feels being an interdisciplinary artist is the most interesting way to live out her human experience on Earth. She uses her cathartic artistic practise to see parts of her mind, that she otherwise may not have access to, in the tangible realm. Aisling wants to see spontaneity and raw human cognitive process in her creativity. Aisling creates and shares her art as a method of communication to connect to different parts of herself and others.

Claire is a multidisciplinary artist and musician in her third year of the studio art program. Her current approach to image making is extremely meditative and gestural, relying on rapid intuitive movements of the arm/hand that often mirror the typical pacing of syntactic writing or childlike scribbling. She is particularly interested in the concept of surrealist automatism and explores themes of consciousness, the body, language, memory, catharsis, and psychedelia.
Elena is in her fifth year of Studio Art at the University of Guelph, completing her Studio Art degree with a double minor in Art History and Theatre Studies. Elena paints with bright colors and bold lines and is focuses on how portraiture can be used as a method of communicating one's personal trauma, healing and the pain that accompanies growing up. As a form of activism against anti-Semitism, her current work is meant to confront viewers of the violence that occurs against Jews today, though to also consider their own emotions and experiences based on the symbols and words that stand out to them.

Zoe Dougherty is a first year Studio Art major from St. Catharines, Ontario. Previously a caricature artist who worked mostly with ink, she took up oil painting and practices portraiture with her previous caricature experience and tries to get familiar with as many mediums as possible. She takes inspiration from the works of Egon Schiele, the Romanticism era of fine art, and the films "M", "Pink Floyd's The Wall", and movies directed by Richard Williams.
Sarah Bryant is a third-year honours student in the University of Guelph’s Studio Art program, focusing on painting, sculpture, jewellery making, and fiber arts. Sarah is an easily distracted human, who compulsively makes art inspired by people, experiences, and objects in her life.
