FROM OUR TRAVELS:

We recently facilitated our workshop Heaven of the Heart at the Ballygilbert Presbyterian Church in Bangor, Northern Ireland. Twenty four artists from all over Northern Ireland gathered for a day of creative, artistic and spiritual exploration. We concluded our time together by offering painted prayers on the World Canvas. The workshop was sponsored by the Presbyterian Church of Ireland and displayed our work at the General Assembly being held in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

FROM OUR STUDIO:

We have been busy in our studio the past several months designing a mural that will find its home in East Belfast, Northern Ireland. Amanda Kilwin, Jared Bergeron, Lauren Maibach and Samantha Fine, all recent graduates in design from the University of Kansas worked with us in our studio. We traveled to Northern Ireland for two weeks to complete the project by painting the mural with the Ballymac Community Group and the East Belfast Partnership. The mural is located in the subway at the Titanic Quarter Train Station in East Belfast. To see more go to With Growth Comes Transformation.
