I Love the vibrant colours and the small dot or line details Kurihara includes in her work. I find her ability to take everyday objects like chestnut and make then so visually interesting very inpirational.

I love the way Milbrath is able to convey feelings and emotions through her art. Her choice of colours and her hazy yet precise style is incredibly interesting to me.

Cozen seems to pick such precise and interesting colour palettes in her work which I find very interesting to look at when going through her work. She also leans heavily into contrast and boldness which creates such a striking impact on the viewer. Cozen’s almost collage like style of bringing different organic elements together is very also inspirational to me for this project.
