Donna Poingdestre
"I work in mixed media but mainly in acrylics. I paint predominantly landscapes and portraits and anything else that inspires me. I always find inspiration in my city, it's people and their stories."

M-One
"I tend to work my own path to realize the work as I would want it - I basically paint art that I would like to own! I do look at other artists for technical pointers - how did they do that? How did they solve this issue? But at the end of the day, inspiration is more about the people who surround you - their influence is as much on how you deal with the struggle to keep on painting, to keep focused, to find the courage to keep going and to keep trying to improve, and that is the sort of influences that are more important than studying books."

NinjaGrl
"I did a lot of paintings of sea creatures as I was hoping to inspire people to take interest in ocean conservation... now it's a bit of both and trying to make people laugh."
