welcome to our studio video

 may 11, 2020

Hello : -) …just wanted to check-in and let you know that we’re doing fine and hope you are too. While we’ve been staying home for the past many, many weeks, and our planned art events have been postponed, and storefronts & galleries where our art is residing, are temporarily closed, we’ve been staying busy.

Our friends at the Alliance for the Arts https://www.artinlee.org/ invited us to make a video to be included in their ‘Welcome to My Studio’ series presented by teaching artists.

In this video you get a short demonstration on how we make our little stick people that's attached to some of our art, a quick, accelerated, clip of Jeff applying ears and fixing teeth of one of our animals, and you'll see what was recently on our studio table of projects we're working on.

take care, be safe, ~jeff & dale





Water Ways - a tribute to life in the tides

Water Ways - a tribute to life in the tides


For much of this year, we worked on new pieces specifically for a special show that is currently installed at the Arts For ACT gallery in Fort Myers.


'Water Ways – a tribute to life in the tides’ is a whimsical, naïve but loving view of living things in and around our banks and shores. Water connects us all. It is our intention to stir up, refresh, and make one think about this vital message.
