Gil Born, Jenny Clark, David Cramer and Larry Griggs - four artists who have painted
together for years, now exhibiting together for the first time. What brought these four
together was their teacher and mentor, the late Joe Peter at the Art Academy. The artists
frequently paint together as a group in plain air and in figure studies. Often their work will
be of the same subject; but different in their individual style and perspective. Although
each artist is unique, their collaboration informs their own work.
