About
Collaborative Art is powerful and exciting. When ideas fuze together it creates a third person in the room with endless possibilities. When Photographer Anne-Marie Bickerton joined forces with Artisan Robert James Grace their joint belief of art for all and joining people together through the medium of Art was immediately apparent. The hope to break down barriers and educate on the acceptance of expression and exploration.
“The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” - Pablo Picasso
