Laura Hamje
Laura Hamje lives in Seattle, WA and has this to say: "My work is based upon my travels; traveling allows me the opportunity for passage into the non-mundane and a break from recycled thought. It heightens a sense of mortality---with views coming and going at every moment. Not much is more fulfilling than awakening new parts of yourself you never knew existed."

Frederick Woodruff "I live on Vashon Island in Washington state and work as an
astrologer and writer. Painting preserves the link (and balance) between the rational and irrational parts of my nature. Everyone should paint, the world would be less tense if that were the standard. I like painting abstract work because I like creating things that have never been seen before. My tumblr is
here, check it out and say hello."
