KLAUDIA WEBER
GRAPHIC ARTIST, PAINTER
Born 1964 in Austria, MA (English language and Media Communication). Childhood passion for drawing (pen, ink) was later expanded to creative outlets like writing, music and (voice) acting. As mostly self-taught artist, I achieved photo-realism in my teenage years, a style which I try to escape from now... My illustrations and cartoons were published in 1980s Science Fiction, Comic book and Heavy Metal music fan magazines (under the fandom nickname “MDS”). For about 2 years worked as cartoonist of German heavy music magazine Rock Hard. After moving to Finland, I became more interested in water colour and acrylic painting and I am still experimenting, inspired by movies, TV and Pop-culture. Recently I have also been expanding to sculpting, custom-Barbies and wearable art, using low-budget raw materials.

INÊS WELLENKAMP JALES
ARTIST & BIRD ADVOCATE
"Hi, my name is Inês, but some people call me Crazy Bird Lady.
I'm a graphic designer turned illustrator that found purpose in bird advocacy. My passion for nature was always present, but it was greatly influenced by my grandmother, who adored all creatures. However, birds sing sweetly and may be near powerlines without being electrocuted. They were magical."
Combining her passions for art and bird advocacy, the artist hopes to increase awareness of these amazing animals through art, creating beautiful art pieces that others would like to have and share, and telling a bit more about specific birds and their conservation status.
YEYE WU
ILLUSTRATOR

NAN YU
VISUAL ARTS, PATTERNS & ILLUSTRATION
I was born in the foothill of a poetic mountain that is surrounded by endless bamboo forests in coastal China. Life led me to live my adulthood in the land of pure and magical nature - Finland. Both of these experiences shape my aesthetics and artistic
expression.
I studied fashion and textile design at universities. It took me several years to explore and feel what I resonated with until I realize that my passion lies in the fields that are
creatively driven.
Lately, I have dedicated myself to enhance my professional skills in developing
visual arts and explore the journey of being an artist.
