✨Meet Julianne and Mark✨ MFA students at AAU, share not just a studio but also a life built around creativity. Julianne’s thesis explores portraiture through the balance of traditional grisaille and abstraction, featuring classmates as her subjects. Mark’s project, Remnants of Creativity, captures the spirit of artisanal spaces in Sonoma — from ceramics studios to florist warehouses — and reflects on the stories left behind in these environments. Their artworks invites us to think about identity, space, and the beauty of artistic process. 🌿🎨
