better together

Dave and Liz were married in 1973 in Racine, Wisconsin. They met at church and quickly discovered how much they had in common. Beyond their shared commitment to honor and follow Jesus wherever He would lead, they also shared a deep love for art—one that only grew stronger as they built their life together.

For decades, they have devoted themselves to creating custom fine art from their clients’ photographs—transforming meaningful moments, loved ones, pets, favorite places, and once-in-a-lifetime memories into one-of-a-kind works of art. Whether it’s a portrait, a beloved animal, a special landscape, or a scene that holds deep personal meaning, their passion has always been about more than painting—it’s about preserving what matters most.

For many years, they worked side by side, each developing their own skills and artistic voice. They never imagined they would one day work on the same painting… until a mural project for a restaurant in Charlotte, North Carolina changed everything.

The mural—a large sailing vessel stretching across an entire dining-room wall—became a turning point. Dave began painting the bow, while Liz started on the stern. As the work unfolded, they suddenly realized they had crossed into each other’s space. Without even noticing, each was refining what the other had begun.

Instead of stepping back, they leaned in.

That moment revealed something special: their individual strengths didn’t compete—they complemented. What began as two artists working side by side became a true artistic partnership. Today, that same process shapes every custom piece they create from photographs—carefully blending their talents, refining every detail, and honoring the story behind each image.

Every artwork they produce is not just a painting, but a collaboration—with each other and with the client—crafted to preserve memories in fine art.
