Hawley and Bill have long circled each other in their respective artistic and life journey's. In the early 90's their work was exhibited side by side in a memorable, nationally curated group show in San Francisco.  They soon realized their paths crossed  (but never met) as 20 somethings in the Western Mass Music and art scene. From the Pioneer Valley  Bill went to NYC and Hawley went West! In the mid 2000's they re-connected in Coney Island, the Hudson Valley and Orkney. From there countless trips together and alone together have taken place. This exhibition celebrates two people both born in 1957. Six months apart. Still creating as though they are 20. Welcome 69! Just two pre-digital people in synch with how much they love to make art and music, work with young people and care for our cats. In this exhibition we offer paintings, sculptures, stories and music.
