Raine Storey was born to Sue and Chris Storey and grew up in Fenelon Falls, ON. [2] Her mother is the daughter of the British-born Canadian artist Derek Woodhead and is a nationally decorated police officer. [3] Storey consistently cites her grandfather as the chief influence on her work, stating in 2013 that, "He pushes me the most". [2] She commented again in 2017, calling her grandfather, "a talented artist" who she is "closely tied with". [1] As a 15-year-old Fenelon Falls Secondary School student, Storey founded Raine Storey Illustration, taking private commissions, while selling her creations. [1]
Storey is known for composing humorous and intriguing visual paintings that reimagine everyday scenarios and personal memories through fragmented, hyperreal imagery, bright, gestural brushstrokes and large areas of negative space. [4]
In 2013, Storey was awarded the Loran Award, the largest Canadian post-secondary scholarship, worth $100,000, for the funding of her entire undergraduate studies. [5] Storey is the second visual artist to have received the award. [6] As a Loran Scholar, Storey attended Queen's University in Kingston, ON within the Bachelor of Fine Arts (Hons.) program, coupled with a minor in the History of Art. [7] At Queen's, Storey was also the Graphic Director of the Queen's International Affairs Association. [6]
In 2014, Storey held an exhibition in Toronto, entitled "Fashionably Illustrated". [8] The following year, Storey spent the summer working in Quito, Ecuador as an art therapist. [6] In Spring/Summer of 2016, she travelled to Sydney, Australia working largely on printmaking, including examples of lithography on silk. [6] In a television interview Paul Lafrance and his wife Janna highlighted one of Storey's hand-painted silk scarves, while talking about the promotion of a new generation of artists. [9]
Storey was exhibited in the 2021 London Art Biennale for her piece Daliesque Woman and in the same year won the People's Choice Prize at the 2021 British Art Prize.

Within those areas, it services the communities of Orono, Cameron, Rosedale, Norland, Moore Falls, Miners Bay, Lutterworth, Carnarvon, Buttermilk Falls, Halls Lake, Pine Springs and Dorset.

Christina Quarles is a queer, mixed contemporary American artist and writer, living and working in Los Angeles, whose gestural, abstract paintings confront themes of racial and sexual identities, gender, and queerness. She grew up as an only child to a single mother and started drawing from an early age. She took her first life drawing class at age 12. During high school, she developed skill and learned techniques from her teacher Joseph Gatto that she still uses. “He spoke of the muscle memory of rendering the form,” she said. “Before making a mark, you would trace the movements to outline the figure, with just charcoal dust. When you started to draw, if you made a mistake, you wouldn’t erase it, because that would reinforce the muscle memory; instead, you should go over it with a new mark.”
