Since then we have taken part in Open House and had our first group show at the Fishlab last year. We enjoy bringing our art together to reflect where we live and work. Each one of […]

My work is abstracted through unreliable memories, sideways glances, passing thoughts and unrelated meanderings filtered through the discipline of structure, mark making and form.
