Eleanor Doughty

Eleanor Doughty

Eleanor Doughty is a Virginia-born, Seattle-based freelance artist, specializing in travel illustration and urban scenery. Graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University (BFA ’13) she has worked with companies including the Boston Globe, Hilton, Indiewalls, Marriott, VICE, and west elm, as well as many small businesses and individuals. Eleanor is at her happiest while traveling the world, sketchbook in hand—she recently completed a 2.5 month solo painting trip through Japan and Taiwan. Perhaps because she is the offspring of two cartographers, her illustration is strongly connected to place; plein air sketching is integral to this artist’s practice.

Justin Gaffrey

Justin Gaffrey

As a self-taught artist, Justin Gaffrey's work challenges the norms of art, pushing boundaries is usually the only way he will be satisfied. His work is constantly changing like a moving target, making it hard to pinpoint any particular genre or theme of art. His earlier works have inspired a path for many impasto acrylic painters. Much of Justin's early inspirations come from artists like Van Gogh, Jimmy Lee Sudduth, and Monet. He has since evolved and finds inspiration in artists like Louise Bourgeois who's work tapped into the subconscious, writers like Mary Oliver with her poems on nature, and scientists like Albert Einstein.
