@toni_gill
Toni Gill is an Auckland-based artist and graphic designer pegged for artistic feminism. She almost exclusively paints powerful women with flora, fauna, wild animals, and stitches them together. Spurred to create a style somewhere between bootleg film posters and contemporary Japanese art, her multidisciplinary work takes cues from classic motifs through the perspective of outsider art. tonigill.com

@gabriella_bowden
Gabriella Bowden, 20, is a full-time painter who creates large-scale portraits of friends and strangers, the latter usually becoming the former. While portraiture initially began as a means to attain catharsis, it became an occupation very quickly. She enjoys the technical challenges that painting people presents but hopes to branch out into more conceptual work, and primarily views Instagram as less of a selling platform and more of a large practical joke.
