About The Artists

Our Story

Inspiration

Our Story

Becky and Jane met as art students at Arizona State University in the 1970's. In 2011, they began collaborating by combining their own art forms as painter (Becky) and sculptor (Jane) to create , original, experimental work that questions the conventional expectations of traditional fine art and craft materials.

Materials

Inspiration

Our Story

Jane's phenomenal, figurative ceramic sculpture skills are joined with Becky's prolific  use of mixed-media materials to create both two and three-dimensional works of art that range from amusingly playful to beautifully bizarre.

Inspiration

When Jane and Becky get together to work, their creative choices expand as they explore narrative themes such as women's roles in society, ancestral memory, or the wild notion that women become more beautiful in later life.

Process

Although Jane lives in Arizona and Becky lives in Washington, they collaborate via the internet and periodic residencies in each other's studios.
