PREVIOUS COLLABORATIONS
REBECCA CHRISTEN
Rebecca Armbrister Christen spent her earliest years between Washington DC, USA and Nassau, Bahamas. In 1986 she relocated to Nassau permanently where she attended St Andrews until graduating in 1999. Rebecca went on to graduate from Florida State University in 2005 after attending both their campuses in Tallahassee, Florida and Valencia, Spain. Her next 3 years were spent living in Miami, Florida before returning home to The Bahamas. Rebecca’s first children’s painting was created at the request of a friend. To her surprise more requests quickly followed giving birth to the idea for a series of island inspired paintings for children. As word spread of her children's paintings Rebecca was contacted by Bahamian author Jennifer Stack to illustrate her children's book 'The Adventures of Flip & Flop: Sole Survivors'. Since then Rebecca has illustrated several Bahamian children's books, now proudly included among them is 'Porkchop Learns To Sign.

Her world travels brought her throughout the Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Greece and the Mediterranean.
In 1998, Papillon visited the island of Andros and fell in love with the beauty and the special light that exists. She decided to establish roots. She built a home and became a teacher at North Andros High School where she taught Spanish for 10 years. She spends her days now creating. Recently she has illustrated a children’s book on the Swimming Pigs of The Bahamas. Ms. Papillon’s works are exposed in Canada, Australia, England, France, Holland, the United States, The Bahamas and in private collections around the world.
CAMERON D. JOHNSON

His interest in culture and folklore inspires the stories he tells in his work, exploring worlds where reality and fiction co-exist. Seeking to find the uniqueness in each new project, he works in a variety of styles, while drawing from his own influences of classical painting and animation. He is currently producing an animated short film featuring a band of stray-dogs playing Bahamian folk music called the Shanty Shack Shuffle.
