SiriOm and Ayala
2022
acrylic on paper
7 x 10 inches (combined dimensions)
Years before I moved to Lambertville, I met Ayala at a networking event for artists, and, when she mentioned that her gallery was in the LBV, I perked up immediately. My partner and I ended up coming to a music jam that Ayala’s partner, SiriOm, organized, and years later my sweetie and SiriOm now play out together sometimes. Since moving to town, I’ve met plenty of other Lambertville artists, including Hope and Winifred.
