Tiffany Toland-Scott is a Chesley-nominated artist originally from the Cascade foothills of Washington State and now living in Georgia. She works primarily in oil and watercolor, but started out as a digital artist. She’s self-published a number of fantasy and gothic art books, coloring books, and the Ancient Wisdom Oracle Deck. She has also worked for and with other companies, producing The Angel Tarot for Llewellyn Worldwide (2025) and a number of illustrations for Flame Tree Publishing, Hot Topic, Out of Step Books, and others.   Tiffany is a proponent of the self-taught artist, having left the scammy for-profit art schools behind as a young adult and pursued an artistic career without them. She is an ardent supporter of free art education and produces 4-5 instructional videos a month which are available on her YouTube channel, @spellboundbrush.   Working with classical techniques, Tiffany produces imagery inspired by mythology, ghost stories, folklore, and gaming. Her work is heavily inspired by her childhood growing up in a Pacific Northwest ghost town where nature encroached on all sides. Her paintings frequently feature an abundance of flora and fauna, a reflection of her childhood in the barely-tamed wilds of Washington.   After living in Washington for nearly 20 years Tiffany was briefly a denizen of Arizona, where she attended Collins Drafting School. Life took her back to Washington and then to Montana, where she lived with her husband Luke for seven years. They now live in Georgia with their son Wolfgang in a 112-year-old creepy manor house that is being swallowed up by nature, just how she likes it.

I am called Emmanuel Gabriel Ndayambaje and I am a Burundian by nationality and an immigrant in Uganda. I fled my country Burundi due to politic involvement of my father who was a deputy chief of defense forces in Burundi military 2007-2010. Both my parents died and I grew up as orphans from age 14. No one supported my higher education, I could work and pay for my school fees from secondary 2 to technical college where I got my diploma in CEM (Computer Economic and Mathematics),It wasn’t easy for me to study day and in the evening I could work, this part was a test of my life but I accepted it until 2017 November I decided to come to Uganda where we were hosted as refugees me and my father before his death. I spent my first two years in Nakivale Refugee Settlement and saw many community were committed in supporting fellow refugees but they lacked were to get hand support, I started developing some of the CBO(Community Based Organization Developing for them websites and show the challenges most fellow refugees face and how they want to solve, but most CBO couldn’t afford the price of development because they couldn’t have financial capabilities, I came to understand these challenges are not only faced in the Refugee Camp I am living maybe other refugee camps face the same challenge, I came with idea to develop the Social Networking Platform where communities, CBO, Entrepreneurs, Non-profit, Humanitarian Organizations and Government Organization can meet in the Space to discuss and raise funding causes, and other donors across continent or any other community/CBO or any humanitarian agency can support they causes.
