This gallery starts with 14 24x24” canvases painted during a three day collaboration with Seattle artist Natalie Oswald. We swapped paintings back and forth, each having turns at each canvas. Read more about the process in this article in MungBeing Magazine. (The first series can be seen in Gallery 2.)
