My husband Cory has a background in construction engineering, working in software dealing with it for a living. I went to art school and am happy to be home painting each day. Our jobs really never overlapped until now. With COVID having so many working from home-my husband included, we spend a lot more time together. He no longer has a commute (he was walking to work as the commute was a 25 minute walk to the office) and with so many places still closed we spend a lot more time indoors than we had so it has given us the opportunity to work on projects long put off. One of these has been to collaborate on a series of artwork! Cory uses his scroll saw to cut out designs I draw on wood boards to make shaped windows that frame out pictures I paint on MDF. I paint the inner edges of the “window” and he then makes a frame to pull it all together, finishing it. In his frame making he starts with a 1”x2” board and uses a router to give it the beveled edge. He’s only just begun and is doing so great!
We have plans to continue this series as I have so many ideas I want to see actualized.
