Thurbon is originally from Peru, studying at the renowned National Fine Arts School of Lima focusing on painting and art education. She is passionate about painting successfully working as an artist, muralist and arts educator. Her artwork ranges in style and centers on bold colors, strong lines and organic shapes. When asked about her work Thurbon stated, "Painting is like living, it reflects my an inner, meditative quest for enlightenment, birth, love, joy, and compassion.” She currently resides in Scottsdale, Arizona where she runs her successful art business.

Erin Cooke has always had a deep interest in art, science, and the intersection between the two leading her to study both medicine and art. She graduated in 2001 from Wake Forest University as valedictorian with Honors in Studio Art and in 2005 from Baylor with a degree in medicine. Cooke’s work is reminiscent of Jackson Pollock’s for its physicality and its scale, but her pattern work is all her own, creating intricate layers, with the kind of minute detail one sees in hyper-realistic pieces. She paints primarily with acrylics focusing on Cubism, movement, textural studies and color abstraction. Cooke currently resides in Seatlle we she practices Radiology and art.
