Stephanie is very minimalistic and creates some very vibrant pieces. I really love the way she takes figures and distorts them to a minimal style. It becomes very deco or retro. This is something everyone should check out.

I really must say that Andrew has some interesting work. Not that I am particularly fond of it, but he has some clever conceptual ideas when he is portraying figures. The color palette is a bit washed out for me, but I prefer vibrant colors. Overall, I feel his color choice works well with his compositions.
