Creating art with intention. It’s all for connection!
WHO WE ARE
We are Andrew and Sarah Wilson — husband and wife collaborative artists using words and visuals in meaningful ways. We've brought our modes of expression together to create art for community. We are working hand in hand, creating work that tells a story greater than our own.
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.

![Reflections [on freedom]. // We’re grateful for the privilege and the choices that have brought us here, to a place where we are free to go and connect and create. Now that we have “the marshmellow” we’re geographically more free than we’ve ever been. Connecting with communities and using art in collaborative ways to bring people together and speak to issues that matter are heartfelt priorities of ours, especially at a time of such deep divisiveness. We seek to be stewards of and for humanity. And we thrive off of meaningful human connection. We are currently seeking opportunities that align with the depth we desire to create visually. If our intentions jive with your own mission and you are interested in us creating in your community, or on your wall, please reach out to us! We are especially drawn to the South because it’s where we’re rooted and we see such a great need here for more — art, inclusivity, openness, connection. But we aren’t limiting ourselves. We are in FL with family for the heat of summer working on the marshmellow and personal projects but open to setting sail again in the near future. We truly believe in flow. And that’s what we’re following in this season, as we go. #muralmonday #familyportrait #mobileartists #handinhandcreative #familymeansforever #escherlittlebuddy #artishard #artforcommunity #collaborativeartists](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571119e1f8baf3d8b08e949f/1562608153146-3FBBH9WTE2ZYYAS9KXUS/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kHem505q6McQd8XRhQc9zkRZw-zPPgdn4jUwVcJE1ZvWQUxwkmyExglNqGp0IvTJZUJFbgE-7XRK3dMEBRBhUpxpEURhgSBEh9ILe0HKIG3CcOCklsxWwam3CdWF6Xw7jwVv5P97BEtB5XaVnmvMtTA/image-asset.jpeg)
![Some people spend months on their build-outs. We had a couple weeks to get “the marshmellow” road ready. // Two weeks before we departed for our mural in South Carolina, we started our build-out on our newly acquired box truck. She came equipped with a solar kit, bed frame, cabinetry, insulation and walls, as she previously served as a vessel for stealth camping for the wonderful couple we purchased her from. We knew we wanted to make adjustments to make her ours, while building upon what was already in motion. After taking everything out, we started with the floor. Though our best intention was to reuse the partial flooring that was there and fill in gaps, the most cost effective option to cover the entire area and for ease of install was new peel-and-stick vinyl. A hole was cut in the ceiling to install our vent fan, which as our only active cooling system on our first trek was a life saver! (works like an attic fan pulling air through constantly). We took off the existing back doors and then built out the back frame with reused wood from a high school friend of Sarah’s (thank you Duce!!) Inspired by Sarah’s childhood home, the back was built around our door and crank window from Pensacola salvage. The $25 door was bought with E in mind. We opted to cover the existing dog door hole since the door had to be cut down to size (it’s metal so that was a fun jigsaw time!). We added a second door for access to our “garage” under the bed. Despite rainy days, we had a prime protected spot to work at Andrew’s parents house with access to helping hands and a table saw. This condensed time of long days and tired bodies was a whirlwind schooling in new territory and a different application of the recurring life lesson that is releasing your expectations! In the end we rolled out of town with the exterior feeling like home (complete with a wreath made by Sarah’s grandparents). And the interior in a workable state to live. The beauty of things being unfinished is we got to see what works and what doesn’t and go from there. (Isn’t that life?) We’re still seeing. [We like what we’re seeing]. #tinyhouse #boxtrucklife #mobileartists #mobileliving #vanlife #tinyliving #vanbuild](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/571119e1f8baf3d8b08e949f/1559156566442-C47KPZVSRI8JEWBNH9H7/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kHem505q6McQd8XRhQc9zkRZw-zPPgdn4jUwVcJE1ZvWQUxwkmyExglNqGp0IvTJZUJFbgE-7XRK3dMEBRBhUpxpEURhgSBEh9ILe0HKIG3CcOCklsxWwam3CdWF6Xw7jwVv5P97BEtB5XaVnmvMtTA/image-asset.jpeg)
