SASHA FITZGERALD
Sasha grew up on the West Coast of Canada, moving from town to town, from city to suburb to country, for the first twelve years of her life. Through all of the changes, new schools, and general upheavals, one thing remained constant - her love of art.
She attended the illustration and design program at Capilano University, and learned many news skills, and met many talented fellow-burgeoning artists. A year later two of her illustrations were published in Jasmine Beckett Griffith's Vampire Art Now, a beautiful, hard bound coffee table art book. She has also sold her wares at various conventions, including Anime Evolution and MiniComi, as well as at the Granville Island Public Market.
Through her work, she hopes to tell a story, set a mood, and express emotion. With each painting she endeavors to define the ethereal 'feminine', and uncover all of her secrets.
In her free time, she loves to cuddle her black cat Honey, take long walks through the forest, drink peach cider on a hot day, and take photographs of her surroundings.

TINA MOLINA
Strange, unusual and mostly misunderstood, Tina Molina is one odd bird! Shy at first, until you get her talking about creative projects or the latest collaborations. The Arts have always been her outlet when she's too shy to express herself through words.
This is Tina's first book and wants to pass on how much fun it is to dream where everything is possible and anyone can be a hero. And maybe, just maybe... you'll be inspired by one of the artists and want to draw something of your own. She loves it when people share their drawings!

BRYAN MAHNKE DAVIDSON
Bryan is driven to tell meaningful stories - whether that's making art that someone working 9-5 can watch or read to unwind from the day or helping that one teenager who doesn't quite fit in, connect to something larger, or helping children learn something that will influence their lives for years to come.
Bryan strives to create characters that don't fit neatly into one moral category. Showing the humanity in monsters , and the darker impulses of heroes adds an element that hopefully reminds people to find the good in the bad, and be careful of the bad in the good.

CHRISTINE BARLOW
Christine grew up in the Midwest and was a grade school teacher in Chicago until she retired to San Diego. She was very creative and artistic with a knack for lifelike drawing, painting, making small murals and creating extremely detailed porcelain doll figurines. Christine was also a craftswoman skilled at restoring wood furniture, upholstery rejuvenation, and sewing clothing. There was no doubt she was capable of taking a creative idea from drawing to finished product.

LESLIE WEIDNER
Leslie Weidner is a professional quilter she certified Quilt In A Day Teacher.
It all started in 1963 when she won a scholarship to Chicago’s Art Institute during her junior year in high school. There had been a contest directed to art students to present their vision of Chicago. Naturally, most of the art work submitted leaned toward Chicago’s dramatic skyline, or Buckingham Fountain, or one of many other distinguished sites in this Toddling Town, Chicago. But Leslie had a different vision. Her vision was the unseen part. The scenes experienced when she rode the “L” out of Halsted Street: gritty fire escapes from run down apartments. Her “sketch” became so detailed that the judges accepted her pencil sketch and not the required ink drawing. It won her the scholarship at the Art Institute of Chicago! Her restless spirit carried her to California where her attention was directed toward the soldiers in Viet Nam. This interest led her to create her own “newspaper” called Tom’s Times. Even though it was sent to one soldier, Tom was able to circulate his one copy of Tom’s Times to at least 100 other home sick fellow soldiers. Tom’s Times brought news of the latest music, movies and goings on of the people of California. Eventually, Tom came home and Tom’s Times turned into quilts. Leslie began to focus her art on fabric: quilt designs and other fiber creations. Some homemade card quilts as well as full size quilts were sent to VA hospitals. She continues to create and give away quilts to veterans and other charitable organizations. She also began original designs onto quilts that are currently being sold at her Etsy shop, Bratty Ann Designs. Her first client brought her a pencil sketch of a quilt block she asked to be created. And, created Bratty Ann did! She continues to design and create quilts for veterans, security quilts for children, and quilts used for raising money for fundraisers.
