Our studio/home sits in the private Cinnabar Canyon in Sunnyslope. It overlooks the city lights of Phoenix and is surrounded by the natural desert of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve.

Our art is shaped and seasoned by our beautiful desert environment. Come and see. As cooler weather arrives, we will be hosting a series of small get-togethers with particular themes, such as an evening of Plein Air painting. Subscribe to learn more about these events.
