LEO BOYD
PR TEAM
Leo Boyd has been pretty obsessed with print and printed media his whole life so it seems only natural that he has ended up working as part of the Vault PR team.

JONATHAN BRENNAN
PR TEAM
In a former life, Jonathan was head of communications for the British Council in Brussels, while moonlighting as a printmaker / painter / bar fly. Eventually one thing gave way to the other and he became a full-time artist … that is until he found himself on the PR Team for Vault Artist Studios. In the words of Michael Corleone , “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!” He does, however, love Vault and wants to help out where he can.
