About the Artists
Julia Anne is a senior in high school in South Florida. She is very passionate about conservation and loves to photograph nature’s raw beauty.
Sunny Cao is an artist and writer who enjoys capturing memories in photos and penning poetry under pseudonyms. Since the first day their father placed a camera in their hands when they were six, they have found delight in photographing anything that catches their eye, particularly all things sky and sunlight-related.
Sadie Chapman is a young writer and artist located in New England. She takes inspiration from her surroundings and is curious about human nature. Sadie justifies the abundance of partially finished projects scattered across her bedroom by saying that her inspiration is in every new place she goes, and at some point, she will come back to the cryptic jotted down notes. Along with writing, Sadie also enjoys painting, drawing and taking 35mm photographs.
Nora Dorn is a 14 year old photographer and artist based in Philadelphia. She has been doing photography for 2 years and loves it immensely. Her current passion project is experimenting with analog cameras and film photography. She always has her camera on her, ready to capture the beauty she sees in the world.
Eli Ernst-Fontaine is a fifteen year old Canadian writer, artist and poet drawing inspiration from the world around him, as it has a lot to offer. His art and written works come from past experiences, things he has heard and people watching. He is self-taught and creates for fun rather than for recognition, as he still thinks he has a lot to learn. However, he loves art more than anything.
Rory Frasch is a student from NY. They enjoy creative writing when not taking photos.
Digby Ives-Obrien is a British student studying art and photography. His work is usually abstract, and these creative subjects are his passion. He loves nature, and he always finds a way of including it within his work to illustrate our need for change. He is based in Norwich.
Nina Vieira discovered her passion for fotography and writing a few years ago and is now focusing on persuing this in her future. She enjoys writing, reading and specially taking candid photos of her family.
Audrey (Qianxun) Lou (she/her) is an artist and poet from Guangzhou, China. She has attended the Iowa Young Writers’ Studio, and has won the Bronze medal in the Art contest INNOART ROME 2023. As an oil painter and bilingual writer, she often sought spiritual solace and creative inspiration from the woods and bays of Australia during her childhood. Upon her return to China, she tirelessly explored the essence of human nature in a complex society. You can find her previous artworks on her Instagram, @audreylou97, and her Chinese poems in "Youth Literator" (青年文学家), a Chinese literary magazine. Beyond her love for poetry and art, you might also find her playing Debussy or Richard Clayderman.
Hannah Yeung is a seventeen years old photographer born in Hong Kong and is currently living in England. She studies Arts, English literature and history in school and she enjoys reading as well as painting in her free time. This is the first time she has ever published her work.
