If you could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint.

– Edward Hopper –

Hopper tells his own story via paintings, as do we. Our diverse collective of five artists meets periodically to share information on techniques and processes, but we have come to value our different working styles and the stories we each tell.

We are at different stages in our careers, with very different objectives. Nevertheless, the making of art is an imperative part of each of us.
