A self-taught multi-media artist with a passion for the wellbeing and conservation of animals and our beautiful planet.
“In the last 25 years my art has gone through a variety of transitions, and I find my biggest inspiration in the visual aesthetics of line and color in our natural world. Giving back keeps me humble and close to my roots. That’s why I share my art journey and experiences freely with others on my YouTube channel and other social platforms. In the last ten years I’ve been teaching art classes, and more recently, art workshops. Currently I’m busy with my studies in Art Therapy. I’m truly fascinated with how our thoughts and emotions are influenced by Art, and how a MINDFUL approach can help us find solutions to cope with the ‘noise’ of our rushed existence and save us from digital burnout. I’ve come to realize that my Art might not change the world, but that every day, it makes a difference in my world.”

"Hi there! I’m Julia Rolle, also known as Juj in Motion. I'm an illustrator and animator on a mission to infuse the world with magic. Passionate about creating for good, I collaborate with eco-conscious brands to amplify messages that inspire a more sustainable and conscious world. My art is rooted in the vision of making green thinking mainstream, sharing ways we can work together to build a healthier planet. I’m here to connect with those who share this purpose and believe in the power of creativity to drive positive change. Through each collaboration, illustration, and animation, I aim to leave a legacy of love."
"If we aren’t creating for good, then what on earth are we doing it for?” — Juj



LaTu is the creative team of Lindsay Rossetti and Laura Luckhurst, two great friends who share a love of the African bush. Lindsay, a self-taught artist working primarily in colored pencil, meticulously crafts pieces of art that capture the essence of the African bush, accurately reflecting the vibrant life and natural beauty of the subject and its surroundings. While Lindsay’s artworks are the soul of LaTu, Laura is the beating heart; her entrepreneurial spirit drives the business, all while providing inspiration and encouragement. Together, we get a great deal of enjoyment from creating items that bring into your life a piece of the African wilderness, from the woodland and grass savannas of Zimbabwe, where we both grew up, to the incredible diversity of the Fynbos and Renosterveld of the Western Cape, where we both now live. We are passionate about conserving our natural heritage and strive to bring you authentic pieces that are created with joy and reflect our deep connection to the natural world around us. For us, every picture tells a story.

Anja Stoeckigt is a self-taught illustrator whose work is inspired by her love of the peculiar, the quirky, and the everyday beautiful moments—such as eating Nutella straight from the jar, cuddling on the couch, or walking the dog. Paper Tales brings together her lifelong passion for design, daily joys, and eco-awareness in a vibrant collection of uniquely charming, yet relatable seeded paper creations designed to spark smiles, plant seeds, and nurture appreciation.
