We were honored to host, live, and work with the fantastic art of Cory Oberndorfer and Jeff Huntington. As our inaugural exhibit coincided with our Grand Opening, we didn't host a proper reception for these artists. Please join us for a reception for the closing of this show. The artists will share with us their thoughts on their work and be available for questions.

(With the rest of the world.) If not, -duh!- then he will probably live with his wife and children in a large, cultured city until he is shot in the chest by someone modern civilization had ignored up until that point. Facebook Twitter Instagram Website Scott G Brooks Scott G Brooks lives and works in Washington, DC. His paintings are primarily figurative, and range from simple portraiture to intricate narratives. Often using humor, he depicts scenes using social, psychological, and political issues. Anatomical distortions separate the figures from the photographic ideal, which gives him the freedom to create his own distorted reality. His work is described as twisted and offbeat, sentimental, and disturbing. Twitter Website Anne C Smith Anne is a visual artist in greater Washington, DC.
