About the Artists
Sam Cohen
Graphic DesignerSam Cohen lives in Waunakee, Wisconsin (the only Waunakee in the world) with his dog, Cecil.

She’s been drawing and painting since she was little, often capturing landscapes or experiences from places she’s visited. Outside of that, she spends every waking hour obsessed with her tuxedo cat, Jelly, taking part in various forms of music journalism, and running her pop up niche perfumery, Pomelo Perfumery.

Mei Stone
ArtistMei first started out in photography just taking photos of friends in college, and photographs weddings, performances, celebrations, and everything in between. As a classically trained musician, she learned from a young age to always keep an eye out for the tiniest of details, and she’s carried that into her photography practice. You can find her at meiyoshimurastone.com and on Instagram @meidayphoto.
“But her family farm in Wisconsin was home, its many acres of soybeans and corn. She didn’t think she could ever get away from it, for better or worse.”
