Shannon Marie Ferguson - Perpetual art student, mommy, & something of a jack-of-all trades. Studied Fine Arts, Graphic Design, Retail Fashion, & Photography from several different art schools in the US (including a diploma in Small Business). Now I sell art prints & jewelry on Etsy, and vend at several shows a year in New York. I also run a second shop on Etsy for graphic design and logo work, and do freelance photo editing. “Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people” – Leo Burnett

Julia Finucane - I have a love for fantasy, fairy tales, and cute little girly dolls. This love started when I was a little girl. I can remember reading Alice in Wonderland, Snow White, and the Brothers Grimm with my father while holding one of my porcelain dolls. I still love this fantasy world and try to represent it in each piece of art. I went to art school and have a teaching degree in art education. I believe that everyone should express themselves through the arts and be able to use their imagination in a creative way.

Your Co-leader

Kest Schwartzman graduated from Massachusetts College of Art with a degree in metals. After graduation, she created Vagabond Jewelry- a company all about being one of a kind, affordable, and easy to wear. She uses metal to evoke the natural landscape from which the ore emerged. Some pieces are very bold, shouting of earthquakes, while others whisper of quiet fields of rustling grass, or paths through autumn woods. Like any good traveling companion, these pieces are a bit eccentric- each is entirely different from every other piece she has ever created. Each has their own personality, as organic and hard to define as each of your friends. The masks provide a different kind of freedom; by letting you pretend to be something else, they allow you to truly be yourself. They are wearable, yet function as sculpture off the head.
