JoAnne Poniatowski is an illustrator/writer at heart and a designer by trade. My love for nature and recording it in drawings has always been a part of who I am as an artist. Though it has been a roundabout journey with many offshoots, it is almost a relief to be back to drawing nature after the inevitable forays through abstraction, conceptual art, and developing my work into a business. Digital drawing, in particular, has allowed me to expand past the restrictions of tangible media and work as freely as I would like while still maintaining a classically illustrative visual quality that I enjoy.
Genevieve Stevens is pursuing an MA in Poetry at the Royal Holloway University in London. Her dissertation is on the relationship between poetry and visual art in the twentieth century.
