We’re Zooguu, and we make high quality handmade décor for people who like to have fun. Don’t worry, no actual (or stuffed!) animals are harmed in the making. Jen Gubicza is the designer and maker behind Zooguu. Jen graduated with a BFA in graphic design from MICA in 2001 and worked as a Graphic Designer & Creative Director at Big Blue Dot and the Boston Children’s Museum. In 2004, Jen started designing and sewing her own creatures as a hobby to get back to the enjoyment she feels when making things by hand vs. mainly on a computer.

Rebecca Volynsky does not see her work as scripted or planned. When creating mixed media collages, she attempts to reach a destination where all of her ideas and visions are the most clear. Everything that spills out onto paper in the form of repeating patterns and symbolic imagery is under her control. She begins by placing and arranging paper and other media on a surface in order to remove them. Old photographs, graph paper, colorful drops of watercolor, thin sheets of transparent tissue and graphite markings that look as though they attack the page are combined.
