Whisper B
Whisper Blanchard is a small, flowering plant that flourishes best near ocean water. She is currently a Creative Writing major at Purchase College, however she was originally born-and-raised in Miami, FL where she attended Design and Architecture Senior High (DASH) for fine art and Graphic Design. Whisper considers the act of making art to be both an act of creation, and an act of preservation: of an idea, a feeling, a state of being. She has a theory that everyone lives many little lives throughout one lifetime; that each time we grow, we say goodbye to a past self, and that making art can help us to both record this experience, and better understand it. Whisper believes thoroughly in art that involves multimedia, and has experience in drawing & painting, film & digital photography, graphic design, printmaking, and sculpture.

Connor C
Taylor Swift once said, "if they don't like you for being yourself, be yourself even more" - these are words New York City-based artist, Connor Coleman, chooses to live by. Growing up in Dallas, Texas, Connor found himself resorting to the arts as an outlet for self-expression, which would then culminate in years studying visual art at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. From there, having always had dreams of moving to New York City, Connor attended Parsons School for Design, recently graduating with a BFA in Fine Arts and a Minor in Art & Design History. A dedicated "Swiftie", Connor's personal art practice is influenced by all things Taylor Swift. His work is passion based as he truly wishes to create for the sake of creating, even if you're just making it for yourself. Connor's work (mainly 2-dimensional) finds itself at the intersection of fine art and design. With most of his works based in mixed media, Connor combines his love of drawing and colored pencils with watercolor, pen & ink, and collage. He also translates his love for music to build a portfolio of branding and graphic design works. Connor has dreams of working as a visual artist in the music industry, with a goal one day being a part of Taylor Swift's creative team. When not drawing or listening to music, Connor enjoys oat milk chai lattes, baking cookies and being the best dog dad he can be.
