Nanami Cowdroy
http://www.nthread.net/
Nanami Cowdroy was born in Sydney, Australia with close bonds to her mixed Japanese-European heritage. Growing up with such contrasting cultures and surroundings, has greatly influenced her style of art and creative expression.
By intertwining complex characters and highly detailed objects her pieces reflect a juxtaposition between foreign and familiar entities and environments. Her imagination is illustrated through works which are elaborate and exotic. She is drawn to subjects, which may on the surface seem delicate or fragile, but are given strength and depth through her pen and ink techniques, intricate hand generated style and mixed media compositions.
Her signature detailed style reflects a refined monochrome pallette with her name 'Nanami' (meaning 'Seven Seas' in Japanese ) stamped in red. Fluid line-work, watery creatures and Goldfish are some of her favourite subjects, and distinctive forms which are featured in her artworks.

Nate Ronniger was born in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1977. He attended the University of Utah where he majored in painting and earned a BFA in 2000. Following college, Nate worked as a graphic designer and illustrator as he simultaneously began painting the western landscapes.
By 2002, Nate was focusing entirely on fine art oil landscapes and pursued this career path while living alternately in California and Hawaii. When attending different exhibitions and galleries of contemporary artists, Nate was taken by the modern approach to still life painting. From this inspiration he began to reinvent his own approach to fine art.
