Robert Moll is a graduate of UCLA with a degree in English and Education, and he is also a graduate of the Los Angeles Art Center School (now called the Art Center College of Design) with a degree in Art. He is a member of the faculty of the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park in Lincoln, MA. Robert is drawn to the unexpected and abstract. He looks for different, alternative ways to view ordinary objects and scenes, and his teaching tends to gravitate towards abstract photography and what he calls “alternative landscapes” – ways of looking at our ordinary world from unusual and occasionally quixotic points of view.

Lois Tonnessen Andersen studied at the Pratt Institute, the Art Studentʼs League of NYC and Statens Kunstakademi in Oslo, Norway. She taught studio art for 21 years at Lexington Christian Academy in Lexington, MA and at the Imago School in Maynard, MA. From her earliest memories, making something has been her deep delight, and engaging in a way unlike anything else. As a teenager she first experienced working in oil, and quickly identified with the medium. She loves the history of it, and the feel of the experiment of each attempt. Even the sense of never fully reaching an inner goal is compelling, always inviting her to try again. Each painting is a finite attempt to know more; a particular time of day, idea or feeling; to savor and to save a little of what is true about it.
