Sinuous, intertwined wildlife bridge worlds of the living and the dead in Lauren Marx’s intricate multi-media work. Twisting fox heads, disemboweled deer, and lambs bursting with flowers and birds are rendered with watercolor, ink, pen, and colored pencil. Marx often places her animal compositions on semi-abstract backgrounds, awash with grey tones that give a sense of weightlessness to the dense drawings by evoking fog or clouds.

The love of art and the need to express myself through colours and compositions have always accompanied me. Photographs, nature drawings, nude and portrait painting developed while training as a textile and design engineer have helped me develop handwriting that is as precise artistically as it is sound on an artisanal level. Like many artists of the 20th and 21st century, I have turned from figurative painting first to collage and then to abstraction.
How would you describe yourself and your artwork?
Staying fluid with an open mind really helps to reduce my own boundaries and stay flexible in both my life and artwork. I love to research and explore many styles of art from figurative, abstract, contemporary, and traditional. This is intrinsic both in my mindset and range of artwork.
Suzanne Harkhoe is a Dutch Surinamese conceptual artist and technologist active in installation, painting in mixed media, technology-based art, sculpture, photography and film. She is based in Rotterdam.

After graduating from the University I started working as a journalist in Budapest. Later on, after becoming Editor in Chief of the inflight magazine of the Hungarian Airlines I could travel quite extensively, thus managed to visit wonderful places around the world and meet interesting people that inspired me to a great extent. When I began painting, attended some artist courses both in Budapest and Stockholm. My paintings are in oil on canvas, mainly landscapes, but I love to capture eyes and faces, as well. I had solo exhibitions in Sweden, Israel and Hungary and participated in group shows in Austria, Belgium, Romania and Hungary. My artworks were purchased by collectors in Australia, the USA, the UK and some other countries.
Theodora Dea is an Oslo based artist, who studied visual art at NISS- Nordic Institute of Stage and Studio in the early 2000’s. Back then she made more figurative paintings on canvases. After years with a brush she moved on to liquid arts such as poring, and from there she discovered epoxy resin which is the medium used today.
She uses a mixed media technique of alcohol inc and resin to create organic and geometric shapes, adding gold and shimmer to elevate the 3D effects of the different layers of media, and to make the art playful to light.
Theodora loves nature, everything from the mountains to the ocean and all the way to the far galaxy, from micro to macro. This is where she draws inspiration as well as within. It’s important to Theodora to constantly developing both herself and her art.

I have exhibited and enjoyed representation by art galleries in New York City, Los Angeles, Milan, Waterford, Sligo and Dublin with works currently in residence at Green Gallery, Dublin, Ireland. My work has been sold, auctioned and gifted for charitable organisations and private collectors in the U.S., Europe and Australia.
