ABOUT T HE A RTIST
Dominic Davison was born in London, 1972 and now lives in Buckinghamshire,
UK where he gets his inspiration for his idyllic and romantic scenes.
One of the finest landscape artists working today, his works display a Dutch
romanticism using 21st century tools and methods. His influences are varied and
include the 19th Century Dutch landscape master Barend Cornelis Koekkeoek as
well as the English Romantic painter John Constable.
Though he uses a mouse instead of a paintbrush to create his images, it is his
observant eye, his composition, and his use of colour and light, which makes his
images stand head and shoulders above his peers working in the digital media.
Prior to joining MGL he worked as a freelance artist, having his work published
in magazines such as ‘3D Artist’, and ‘Advanced Photoshop’. This work includes
both tutorials and double page galleries.
His hobbies include the cinema, video games, art galleries, and making music.

A B OUT T H E ART I ST
The art of painting to Josephine Wall is much
more than just a career. It is an all-consuming
obsession and a passionate love of colour
and form. Since the age of four, she has
always known that there was nothing else
she wanted to do.
She has so many images in her mind that it
is a race against time to produce all of them.
Hence she likes to use fast-drying acrylics,
which allow her to paint more quickly than
the traditional oil medium and also to create
many different textured and colourful effects.
Josephine produces images which are not
only pleasing to the eye, but also contain
hidden messages or a thought-provoking
statement.
She paints in great detail and nearly always

hides creatures, faces and other items within
the painting, adding ongoing mystery and
interest to her wide and varied range of work.
Her paintings, though mainly fantasies, are
based on close observation and sketching
from nature, the preservation of which is a
subject very close to her heart.

ABOUT T HE ARTIST
Nancy Wernersbach’s art career began at an early age thanks to her parents’
gift of a 128 Crayola crayons. Her love for painting and desire to capture the
beauty of the natural world in her art was nurtured at Southampton College
of Long Island University, Southampton, NY. She graduated with a BFA degree
in 1981. Over the last 35 years Nancy’s watercolor & oil paintings have been
exhibited and won awards in national and regional juried art exhibits in the
New York City and Long Island, New York area. Happy, refreshing, uplifting,
and “windows to the outdoors” are words collectors often use to describe her
paintings.
Nancy brings the same love of nature and adds an element of fun and whimsy
to her licensed images, now in the digital art medium. Her illustration portfolio
has been licensed worldwide for jigsaw puzzles, garden flags, greeting cards
and a variety of home décor products.

ABOUT T HE ARTIST
Bridget Voth was born in Louisiana. She developed a love of art from a
young age and was encouraged by her talented, artistic grandfather. The
natural world fascinated her and even the tiniest insect on a garden flower,
a dappling of sunlight on grass, or the song of a bird would capture her
undivided attention. She spent countless hours attempting to recreate on
paper what she had seen outside.
Over the years her artistic abilities improved through self teaching and with
help from her high school art teacher. She sold her first painting in her early
teens and has continued to further her art career over the years with online
sales to buyers throughout the world. She is well known for her animals
in whimsical scenes and her realistic wildlife paintings. Most of her art is
created with acrylics, watercolors, and gouache, but she has also worked
with pastels and colored pencils.
