Our creations reveal glimpses of our inner landscape. Our art then becomes our portal to the unseen world.

We tend to live and work on borders and boundaries. On these edges we explore places of tension where wonder is revealed. At these intersections we endeavor to learn, practice, and share sustainable ways to ground ourselves in wholeness. We look to continuously re-form our relationship with each other, with the earth and with the spirit that sustains creation.

Through our art and active interdisciplinary communion with others, we aim to re-waken hope and encourage a new ecology of respect, tolerance, and love. Our goal is to re-store durable, adaptable ways of stewarding the earth and to move closer to wholeness.

Our work is a result of collaboration. We go beyond the conceptual sense, to include working together on the same canvas. We paint at the same time, forging ideas together that neither of us could create alone. We experience this as both visual and verbal communication. When we begin our conversation in paint, it is important to let each of our voices be heard, allowing expression of our unique perspectives. 

Chaos seems necessary to get to the deeper order that unifies our work. Because we know that ideas usually don’t move in a straight line, we make intentional space for a more organic and flowing nature to take hold. It often takes courage, faith, and time to allow transformation by this practice. We bring this process into our workshops where we create paintings in large groups, much the same way we create our own work.

In life, and in conversation, things get messy. The visual language of color and shape helps us think about larger issues together. We each bring ourselves fully to the canvas. We move from ego and forced will to a space that holds creative tension and gives rise to a reconciling third voice. It becomes both personal and universal. We are always surprised by what we have painted, discovered together, and what we have in common.
