Julian Wong “I was born in Cambridge but grew up in Hong Kong. During which time I started learning traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting. After completing high school in Hong Kong, my family moved to California and I continued my education at UC Santa Cruz. At which time I was introduced to plein air painting and I was incredibly inspired by the beautiful coastline of California. I continued my education further at California College of Art in Oakland and San Francisco to study Industrial Design. Currently I live with my wife and baby in Cambridge, dividing my time as an illustrator, painter and industrial designer.” |
Katie Yates grew up mostly in French West Africa with stints in India and Turkey and now finds herself in New Haven, Connecticut not a bad place to raise children. She has a DA from The University at Albany, an MFA from Naropa University and a BA from Carleton College which simply implies she’s well-qualified to converse with a two year old. She lives with her blended family in a brick house in the suburbs and looks for insight in Buddhist teachings as much as she can. She still considers the Pacific Northwest her home. | |
