Tiffany Sharpe is a mixed media artist who most enjoys working with watercolor and creating unique, handmade books. Although she enjoyed staying busy with a variety of different crafts for most of her life, Tiffany recently immersed herself into mixed media art and art journaling. After doing a 100 day project called "100 Days of Collage Fodder," she bravely co-launched the wildly popular Fodder Challenge, a series of short, free classes from popular mixed media artists. Tiffany is now the Executive Producer of a new online school called Fodder School, the only 12 month online art course dedicated to the love of collage fodder, where over 3500 students are making fodder, using fodder and repeating! When not creating art, you can find Tiffany at home, taking care of her two kids and husband and walking her dog on a frozen lake in rural Minnesota.

Barb is a mixed media artist who enjoys layering collage papers and paint to create surprising results. Adding lines, textures, shapes and colors onto a page or canvas allows her to experiment and find enjoyment in the discovery. Barb is inspired by the beauty found in many of the home arts, including quilting, stoneware pottery and all the gorgeous patterns found in linens and textiles. She is also inspired by organic material and nature, having a window in her home studio that looks out toward trees and a stream. Always looking for a way to combine her interest in art and psychology, Barb has discovered that the practice of art making itself is a wonderful and helpful thing to share. She teaches classes locally out of her studio, with art centers, retreat centers and in galleries. Whether she is teaching the principles of art, art journaling, collage, card making, abstract art or painting papers, Barb's goal is always the same. She wants to help people discover joy in the process of art making and notice that they have so much to share. Barb lives in Ohio.

Megan has been art journaling and book binding for about 20 years. However, she took a 10 year break from paper arts when she had her first 2 children. About 6 years ago, she came back into journaling after some big life changes, including 2 more children. Journaling had always been a part of her life, especially working life’s challenges out on the page. When she first started out, Megan only focused on making books by hand with some basic collage and stamping. She was intimidated by the amazing art journalers out there who had elaborate, mixed media spreads in their journals. When Megan came back to journaling after such a long break, she decided that she was going to really push herself to learn all the techniques that she had been too afraid to try. Painting and drawing have really allowed her to find so much joy in her creative process, and Megan now almost exclusively creates mixed media every day. Megan lives in New Jersey.

Alison currently designs stamps for PaperArtsy and teaches both in person and online courses. Alison lives in the Czech Republic.

I’m Sarah Gardner, also known as Juicy*S. Juicy*S is my DJ name. I'm not a DJ. I would love to be a DJ. I am a recovering perfectionist. I have learned that what gives me joy is the process of creating, not the “perfect” end result. I want to help others explore creativity, ignore that perfectionistic inner critic, and play around with art supplies. It gives me joy, and I want to share this way to happiness. This is my wish for you. What's your DJ name? Let's sling some paint, share some art, and you can tell me all about it! Sarah lives by the ocean in Southern California.

Jennifer Wilkin Penick's introduction to collage was in early childhood, when her mother cut up magazine pages and invited her to make "mosaics" from them, using paste and a small tin brush. Living for decades in Italy as an adult gave her weekly access to the vintage paper vendors of Rome's legendary flea market. She studied studio art and art history and these two interests converge in Jennifer's sometimes whimsical mixed media and collage works that frequently reference her relationship to (and nostalgia for) the artistic heritage of her adoptive country. In addition to being a practicing artist, she teaches art to children and adults and has been a Visual-Artist-in-Residence with MedStar Georgetown University Hospital's Arts & Humanities Program since 2018.
