I was born in Montmartre in the late 1940s. At that time, painters were setting their easels at many street corners in the neighborhood.

My art is a means of expression for me, whether I am writing, painting, cutting glass, or creating scarfs. I become absorbed in the process and even obsessed by it.

Gail re-entered the world of painting a few years ago. She spent her childhood coloring in any coloring book she could find, along with free-handing her favorite themes of dogs, clouds, trees and flowers.

Archie’s black and white pen and ink work comes together as a multi-faceted mirror reflecting their own questions and anxieties about the evolution of life, the inevitability of death, and the purpose of either in the vast unknowns of our universe

What drives me to paint is a sense of impermanence and a belief that there is no better way to be in the present moment than through art, either by creating it or experiencing it.

I love to draw, it is the foundation of my art. I’ve explored a variety of drawing mediums; but nothing excites me more than working with my dry and wet tusche washes.
