"I have been in LA for just over 3 years now, and I have yet to find a photographer here who can match what I got from Ross and Sarolta in Vancouver. They are top notch, top drawer, and top of the list for me!"

Ross den Otter & Sarolta Dobi of Pink Monkey Studios

Leaving their small B.C. towns of Courtenay and Summerland in the mid-eighties and meeting at Langara's respected photography program led not only to a thriving partnership in business but also to a thriving partnership in life. Pink Monkey Studios, established in 1996 by the husband-and-wife team of Ross den Otter and Sarolta Dobi, has skillfully filled the portfolios of actors, models, and corporate executives from across the Lower Mainland for over a decade.  Establishing and maintaining quality relationships with all their clients, the Monkeys' branched out to commercial and on-set film work as well, expanding the scope of their business.

Ross was born Port Alberni BC in 1969 and was raised in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. He is a photographer, mixed media artist, small scale sculptor and photographic printmaker of over 25 years. A natural collaborator, he has worked with many of Vancouver’s fine art and commercial photographers.

As a child he was taught the importance of stewardship of the land, conservation of resources and creation of a strong community. Those lessons formed his core values and have guided his personal growth through his life. Ross is an active scuba diver and has amassed hundred of dives off the west coast shores, assisted in the training of divers with physical challenges, and worked with conservation agencies in the annual Ling Cod egg mass counts.

Michelle Vulama



Biography

Michelle Vulama is a Canadian artist, originating from Vancouver, BC. Though her work is diverse in form and content, she is chiefly recognised for her original and distinct style of rock-painting.

To those close to her, Vulama’s artistic potential was evident from an early age. As a child she dabbled in an abundance of artistic forms: everything from shoe-box dollhouses, to delicately crafted sock-puppets, to the sketches of ‘pig-faced people’ which still resonate in her current work. However, it wasn’t until her late teens that Vulama, having acquired a job as an office assistant at Vancouver’s Clochard Gallery, found the inspiration, guidance and encouragement to hone her talents and find her artistic niche.
Despite having received no formal artistic education, Vulama has always been fascinated by the idea that she can use her skills to transform ‘bits of garbage into something people will admire and value’. Consequently, Vulama frequently took to painting on unusual canvases such as jam-jar lids and cereal boxes. Experimentation with a multitude of these atypical mediums enabled Vulama to refine her canvas-preference and ultimately led her to develop her unique penchant for rock-painting.  Read More Here http://www.michellevulama.com/bio.html
