Janet Morgan and Gregory Frux are artists whose sense of adventure, both local and exotic inform and enrich their art. Each traveled extensively before teaming up and their excursions have only ramped up since. Janet's landscapes capture movement and a flexibility of spirit that inspire a desire in the observer to dance in and out of her paintings. She takes inspiration from near and far, often blending it with her other passion – belly dance. Her bright colors seem to jump off the page. When painting the quiet landscapes of his hometown of Brooklyn New York, Greg reaches deep and stirs a longing for a place that is familiar to many. Bringing his unique vision and passion for landscapes far from home, he captures other parts of the world with the same intimacy as where he lives. Together
they have taken their unique painting styles, often working side by side
in remote locations including Morocco, Peru, Patagonia, Antarctica, Arctic
Norway, Central Asia (Exhibiting at National Museum of Art of Kyrgyzstan)
and Mt St. Helen National Volcanic Monument. and as Artists-in-Residence
in Death Valley National Park , Weir Farm National Historic Site, Joshua
Tree National Park and Glacier National Park.
