Stina Wirsén

"Stina Wirsén was born in 1968. She is known for her illustrations in the newspapers and has received several awards. With her illustrations she moves between vastly different subjects; everything from fashion to psychology. She is also famous as illustrator of children’s books, working a lot with her mother Carin. She points out that she almost never works with a book that is practically done but exchanges ideas with the author as they move along. She has also made her own picture books, making both the text and illustrations." (http://www.bonniergroupagency.se)

Rachel Bright

Rachel is a writer of words, drawer of pictures and champion of silver linings. She exhibits widely, writes tirelessly and frequently creates slightly unhinged characters.

Her written work includes children’s stories and poems, clever advertising copy and lots of other stuff besides. Her illustrative work is a smorgasboard of giant, hand-printed poems, mind-bogglingly detailed gouache illustrations and a cacophony of quirky prints and etchings.

Her work aims to capture a free way of thinking - one which makes you feel anything is possible, a feeling all too easily lost with the end of childhood. When we’r
