Rebecca Wilkinson (Bex) was born in Chicago, Illinois, to parents who were avid art collectors. Her childhood was spent surrounded by works by The Hairy Who (1966-69), and Surrealists such as Paul Delvaux & Joan Miro, as well as artists without quite as much recognition like Maryan (1927-1977.) Her parents also collected local Chicago and New York artists such as Seymour Rosofsky (1924-1981,) Leon Golub (1922-2004,) and Irving Petlin (1934-2018) who also influenced her work. At six years old, Bex boldly declared that it was an ‘artist's life for her,’ told her parents that she would become a painter, and wanted to paint the living room ceiling purple with pink polka dots! She understood, even then, the paramount importance of art in the world.

What is a barrier you as an artist overcame? Is there anything that enabled you to develop your work as an artist in your life?

I overcame the societal compulsion to "work until retirement, then there's free time" by leaving the secure working life. My partner, who has been by my side for several years, believes in me and my talent. This has strengthened my self-confidence and enabled me to develop my work as an artist.

How would you describe yourself and your artwork?

I would like to call myself a colorist and a transformational painter.

Nature is my primary source of inspiration. Painting for me is a meditative state of being, where I connect to the elements and the rhythm of nature, weaving dreams and visions into my artwork. My intention as an artist is to be able to communicate that all things are connected with one another and to the universe. The interconnectedness of all things in nature represents a deep unity within myself. My hope is to inspire the viewer.

I am Marie Marchandise, a 27 years old photographer and art director living in Toulouse, southern.
France. When I was a child, I wanted to be a poet. Growing up, I was obsessed with being helpful: I wanted to be a vet, a psychologist, and a lawyer. I guess with photography,
I combine the inherent desire for my first dream job as a child, and my inner need and enthusiasm
developed from my teenage years to adulthood.
I love exploring new artistic techniques sometimes that I invent myself, as I
feel that I’m letting my inner child out by doing so, and I hope that what I create allows people to escape,
only for a few minutes. I have been published several times in international magazines, and it is an
honour to know that my work has been seen by many persons from all over the world.
If you feel something when looking at my photographs, it means that my job is done; if you are
inspired, motivated, and looking for something new thanks to them; it’s more than I could ever dream of.
