LAURA SHANK'S GALLERY

I struggle with the idea of defining what my pieces mean to me...what is the reason for each one of them. There isn't one thing...sometimes it is as simple as being giddy about placing red next to green. Other times it is about telling a little story that someone will laugh at. Now you have a connection with that person.

SPLAT'S GALLERY

All the pieces in this gallery are the combined talents of two artists creating on one canvas. This process is unique on many levels.

Our collaboration allows us to explore contemporary social themes, often specific to women. The collaboration is like a good recipe: one ingredient enhances the other.
