Once a reference image that I create leaves my hands, I’m never quite sure what the outcome will be (although we do have many back-and-forth conversations during the process). Paintings just have a way of telling John the direction they are going to go — and it’s almost always a relatively unknown journey.

When John text me his first pass at this one I joked and sent back “Scrumptious” — which is a word I would never use — which is why it was funny to us, lol. I proceeded to give him the rest of my feedback but the title was born. Inspired by lake trips, sunrises and sunsets.

Part of the From Dirt Collection. 23 years of planting flowers as owner of a landscape company, now John is seeing them in a whole new way. For sure, we’re inspired by the light, the color, the feeling and the memories they evoke, but more importantly by the fact that they come FROM the DIRT. They start at nothing, their roots dig in, they grow and then they display their badass, God-given magic.

Part of the ‘Don’t Sand the Edges’ Collection:: Renovation has been a growing part of our lives the last couple years so we decided to merge construction materials (concrete, mesh joint tape, etc) into the work. The result is so much texture, depth and richness. Visually inspired by new horizons, this collection is also about hard work, knowing when to let go and finding beauty in imperfection.

Most of our work doesn’t just mean one thing but is packed with multiple layers of thoughts/memories/inspirations. Some connect to each other and some are just various commentary.
Each piece starts with a “jump-off” of visual inspiration and the goes through a of complex journey of development — both in thought and visual expression. The work is almost impossible to articulate in one sentence — especially since it is coming from two people — yes, we may look the same, but we have completely different thought patterns.
Here is just a partial list of thinking and inspiration for this piece::
It all started with the house. I was walking through town and grabbed a photo of it one day. I loved the size, the centeredness, the door, the porch, the gate, the attic vent, everything about it. It came to represent stability, humility, approachability, relatability and a bunch of other “…ility’s”.
Then, we built out from there to add memories, commentary, connections, experiences, questions. None, and all of which work together. For example, the Tootsie Pop is a reference to the delight of childhood but also asks the question, “how many licks?”. How many times can you get knocked down and get back up? How long before you catch a break or get discovered? How long do you have to struggle until you reach that chocolatey middle?
The flowers are inspired by our landscaping past and will forever be part of our work. Folks like flowers. So do we. They’re pretty. They bring joy. They can lift the spirit.
What about the gate? This is a touchy one. Sometimes, it feels as if there are gatekeepers in the artworld. It feels like you need to think a certain way, and if you don’t, you can’t come in. You need to have a CV. You need to enter contests, and win, for credibility. You need gallery representation. You need to be like this, and not like that. We pretty much say, we’ll just keep being ourselves.
So many other thoughts but that gives a snippet. Hopefully the ultimate take-away is hopeful and positive. Makes zero sense and perfect sense at the same time.

In this collection, we are focusing on letting all the things we love influence the work — drawing, painting, graphic design, flowers, landscaping, architecture, renovation, construction, deconstruction, experimentation, other artists, contrasts, abstract vs. real, geometric vs. loose, modern vs. tradition — all of it.

Titled "Beyond the Rooftops & Attic Windows". This gorgeous old church in Ludlow is an absolute hidden gem where we went to kindergarten and where John's father-in-law was the minister for 18 years. Although this painting has ties to our past, it's about a lot more than that --- it's about looking beyond physical structures to reflect on vast and incomprehensible wonders and a deeper faith --- it's about looking up and taking a second look to figure out what defines you, you know, way beyond the rooftops.

The day we started this piece, I was in a mood and, honestly, a little bit of a funk. Truth is, that John and I can be moody sometimes even though some people might think everything seems all unicorns and rainbows. That’s just not real life. So, as I was working through the digital rough draft for this piece (see the second image), I liked the contrast of the pretty flower against the moody face because it began to suggest that things may look pretty on the surface, but if you do a little digging, you may find that there’s a little more to the story. The truth exists somewhere in that middle whitespace area where the outside and the inside collide.
