"My art is fueled by the amazing women in my life who keep me going. They inspire me to create "hot" art for equally hot people. With bold colors and dynamic compositions, I do my best to capture their strength and vitality."
"My creativity is driven by my own emotions and how it feels to be a woman. My art is constantly being inspired by moments of self reflection."
Marina Hunter is a photographer and creative director based in Charleston SC. A graduate of College of Charleston, she began her fascination for photography through a BA in studio arts. Marina works primarily between her studio in Charleston and Los Angeles. Her mixed-media editing approach is heavily inspired by surrealism with nodes to the 90’s. Music, fashion, and youth culture are some of Marina’s greatest influences.
"My creative process comes from a place of curiosity. The characters are often ornery manifestations of myself, not that fiction doesn't include facets of the truth; it's just that dark imagery that gives the work purpose. However, so much of my work is created because I can pour my heart into it safely and my goal is to communicate honestly. The figures share a narrative of empowerment, expression, and sexual truth. This canopy of the human condition is the starting point for creation and hopefully, that approach inspires folks to delve into their own stories and share them unapologetically. If I can convey that and spark inspiration in another then I feel accomplished."
Cassidy Rae Marietta is a visual content curator, illustrator, and painter working out of her home in Columbus, Ohio. With sheets of velvety hues, ornate designs, and expressive figurative elements, her work is focused on creating striking images that showcase the modern woman, dotted with botany and psychedelia. Recurring themes in her work include censorship, social normality, and the raw and undying characteristics of human nature. Her keen eye for color and detail has helped her blossom a career that includes collaborations, design, and graphic work for clients around the globe.
"My work approaches women's diversity of forms of existence through an alternative and political perspective. I use the diversity of shapes, the exaggerated body proportions, and the unity of colors and themes to present a very personal universe of positions and thoughts, from the discontent about social inequality to the desire to raise awareness of political issues that I believe are important for a social transformation. Inspired by the raw energy of punk-rock, the vibrant expression of street art, and the urgency of political movements, my creations embody simplicity yet carry profound symbolism. By distilling complex ideas into minimalist forms and colors, I aim to create artworks that resonate as iconic representations of broader societal issues and ideals."
Camila Rosa is a Brazilian artist and illustrator living in Brooklyn, NY. She began her artistic journey in 2010 with a female street art collective.

Through her unique style, Camila invites viewers to think about identity and social justice. Her illustrations, full of vibrant colors and bold symbols, have been shown in galleries worldwide. She is dedicated to amplifying marginalized voices and advocating for change through art. Her work reflects the diverse experiences of women, sparking reflection, dialogue, and positive action.
"I’m taking my inspiration from my everyday life, thoughts and feelings … but in the end I think I can sum it up to: I’m drawing my heart out. Drawing leaf by leaf, day by day, I've developed some kind of an artistic mood in which I'm making these illustrations."
