We also share a deeply personal conversation between fellow artists Brandi Milne and Troy Brooks. And let the strength and ‘take no prisoners attitude’ of Brian M. Viveros’ female army lift us up and inspire us.

Discover the sugar coated dreamland of celebrated Australian artist Pip & Pop and get swept away in the vibrant surrealism. And come with us as Casey Baugh lets us peek into his New York studio.

The most dramatic thing that my work has shown me is that I have a voice. My voice is valuable, strange and unique, and it need not be silenced or hidden, or made to sound more like someone else’s. My voice is powerful – even if I’m the only one who hears it.

Brandi Milne

In our exclusive in-depth interview with Andrea Kowch she reveals how her “metaphorical self-portraits” add to her dreamlike scenes and create a deep sense of nostalgia in her work. We take a close look at Jenny Boot‘s luscious portrait photography and discover her keen eye and serene balance between light and darkness.

We feature Iva Troj‘s dark and dreamy paintings that explore a world of contradictions, and delve into the vivid, pop-surreal waters of Alex Gross‘ creative musings.
