Lara Kaminoff Illustration Begotten in the wilds of Canada by a clown and an actress, Lara and her brother grew up surrounded by books and circuses. When she was still a wee lass, Lara and her family stowed away in the guts of an ancient Zamboni and made a slow but steady break for the U.S. border, eventually settling in Seattle. Lara attended Maryland Institute College of Art on a Canadian Refugee scholarship and now lives and works in Baltimore, a city she is proud to proclaim is no longer the murder capitol. She spends her days drawing, writing and counting local cats. 206.818.5156

Monique attended the Art Institute of Philadelphia for Multimedia/Web Design and is now a local Baltimore artist and creator/designer of Nikdapooh Designs. The nickname Nik da Pooh was given to her by her Uncle Clifford. He would sing the Winnie the Pooh songs but add Nik the Pooh in all the verses. As an adult those songs remind her to stay young at heart, slow down and think like a Pooh.
Monique creates eclectic terrariums using re-purposed light bulbs, original hand sculpted clay creatures and unique wearable art made of sculpted clay and found objects. She designs without molds for her original sculptures and clay jewelry. Her 2D paintings are whimsical, bright and imaginative nature/animal themes that have fine details and bold expressions.
She's inspired by bold patterns in fabrics, bright contrasting colors, unique nature themes, anything vintage and lots of texture.
She homeschools her two children in her Baltimore City home and volunteers at her neighborhood art center 901 Arts.
