WHAT WE'RE CREATING

We believe in art that is inclusive, accessible, and thought-provoking. That is what we're setting out to create in the public art realm. Through painted murals, we seek to tell meaningful stories, while sparking reflection and dialogue.

THE LATEST / @HANDINHANDCREATIVE

Follow along with us on Instagram for a closer look at our journey + what we're creating.

After Day 2 of dreary weather including a tornado scare, Day 3 brought with her a mix of sun and chilly air. And as for us, we awoke ready to bring our loose sharpie sketch to life. (Cryptic even looser photo included). Meanwhile Escher kept a watchful eye (head) out. Drawing stage is done and we start painting tomorrow! This mural we are working on is agriculturally inspired, paying homage to parts of the history of Lake City. And just across the street from where we are parked and painting happens to be a sweet produce stand that’s been around and in the same family for decades. Needless to say this is where we will be getting our produce fill while we are here. #artfields2019 #lakecitysc #muralists #publicart #communityart #artishard #collaborativeart #southernartists #thesouth #artforeveryone
Lake City DAY 1. // Getting reacquainted with this sweet town and newly acquainted with our wall — the side of Hanna’s tailoring shoppe, where Miss Anne gave us a warm welcome. Started with our grid so we can get drawing soon. Even with @artfieldssc a week out, Sauls street is bustling like a movie set. All action! As was true of our last time here and a big part of why we were so eager to return — people here have time to talk and see the value in human connection. It just makes you feel so great to be here and be part of the energy. #artfields2019 #muralists #artishard #husbandandwifeteam #mobileartists #handinhand #collaborativeart #publicart
We joke that life either happens all at once or not at all. Only it is no joke. We knew as the rollercoaster year that was 2018 came to a close, we were ready to greet 2019 with an openness to move forward more fully in alignment with how we want to live and be. And as soon as we decided we were open and ready — things started moving divinely. We call this flow. Or in this case, overflow! Long story short — over the past 6 weeks, we’ve acquired and have been working on “the marshmellow” our box truck turned mobile dwelling space, getting her road and live-in ready to take us and Escher to our next mural. We arrived in Lake City, SC last night and are getting to work on a mural here in partnership with @artfieldssc. There’s a lot more heart and behind-the-scenes to this story as it’s been in the making since we got married. For now we will just say we are overwhelmingly thankful to be here with Escher. #artfields2019 #artishard #collaborativeart #muralists #mobileartists #escherlittlebuddy #boxtrucklife #publicart
Two years ago we traveled to Lake City, SC to participate in @artfieldssc. This experience was lifechanging for us. It was the first time we displayed words and visuals together on the same, large scale. From this experience we knew we wanted to do more work together and create art for community — truly connect with a place and its people to create something meaningful. We fell in love with the spirit of this small town, and the whole experience redirected our hearts and art. We return this week to create art for this community in the form of a mural. We couldn’t think of a better fit for this season of life and art. See you soon Lake City! #artfields2019 #lakecitysc #southernartists #muralists #collaborativeart #artishard #publicart #communityart #artforeveryone #mixedmedia #southernartists
