The three featured artists have been inspiring each other over the past several years. They attend workshops together, often paint in each others’ studios and encourage each other to grow and take risks.

Their styles vary from somewhat representational to wildly abstract.

Arnold, Moldoff and Reed show their work at Mia’s Café in Eastsound. Paintings of Arnold and Moldoff have been exhibited in the San Juan Islands Museum of Art. All three artists have exhibited their work at the Palm Springs Art Museum. Arnold is a member of the Orcas Island Artworks in Olga.
