EXHIBITION ON VIEW: September 1st-December 1st, 2026

FROM THE ARTISTS, ABOUT THE EXHIBIT: With little to do in the early years of the pandemic, we began taking a closer look at the local environment.  We would often walk the dogs through the nearby greenbelt, and enjoyed spotting and identifying plants, fungi, animals, and insects.  Nearly every photo in this collection is from the specific area around our apartment in northwest Austin, and the expanse and diversity of the subjects continues to delight us.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Steve and Lisa have been together for 16 years, having met while working on a local theatrical production.  Steve is an elementary music teacher, as well an actor and technical theater jack-of-all-trades, and Lisa is a stage manager and costume technician.  They enjoy travel, food, theater, photography, and spoiling their dogs: Coalhouse Walker, Jr. and Sarah Brown Eyes.
