Sarah Lee is the 1st Prize Winner of the Beautiful Bizarre Magazine Founders' Emerging Artist Award 2023, she creates sculptures of animals that reveal fragility, vulnerability, insecurity, human emotions, awkwardness, odd self-inflicting behaviors, adaptation and survival. Eggshells are fragile empty houses that are abandoned after birth; they become lifeless and no longer serve a purpose.

Karin Hauck is the 2nd Prize Winner of the Beautiful Bizarre Magazine Founders' Emerging Artist Award 2023, the focus of her interest was always the human being and his consciousness, in thinking, feeling, acting and being. The desire arose to express their knowledge and experiences through paintings. She started to realize this with realistic oil painting in 2015.
