For the past three years, Daphne has spent the majority of her time living in her home state of Tennessee, taking care of family matters. She is excited that she will now be spending much more time in California, and Hill&Stump are back in the studio again together. Although most of the fairs we have traditionally participated in are not yet back in session, we are planning several small exhibitions, including at a winery in East County San Diego, and possibly gallery shows in San Diego and Los Angeles. We are excited!

​Below are starts of new paintings. Check our portfolio page to see them finished.
​Thank you for your patience and we hope to see you soon. As always, you're welcome to contact us for a studio visit.

We had big plans for the Spring of 2020: "Bouquet," a group exhibition at Roswell Space in Los Angeles curated by Jonna Lee, The Brewery Artwalk, and a solo exhibition at Sepehri Gallery in San Diego. Sadly, all that is postponed for now, althought the "Bouquet" was opened for a few days before things closed down. Hopefully in the Fall we will be back in person.

We hope you are all safe and taking time to be with loved ones, whether in person or virtually. 

A collector sent us photos of our paintings in his beautiful Santa Fe style home...

We will be at the Brewery Artwalk, April 6 and 7, 11am to 6pm.

​Our newest work will be a series of Dogwoods, in honor of Tennessee!

We are thrilled that our Cherry Blossom Triptych has found a home at a non-profit in Los Angeles that houses women who need support. It was so fun to deliver the painting and see how the room came alive. The large craftsman house has been lovingly restored, and provides a peaceful and healing atmosphere in the heart of the city.

We had a bit of a rough patch recently, meaning lots of shows, but few sales. This is discouraging because our work is costly to produce. Entering shows, buying booth space... it all adds up. 
And then... The wonderful Tish Laemmle asked us if we could be ready in one week to do an exhibition at the Laemmle Royal Theater in West LA. Can we? of course! Tish loves our work, and it also sells through her curation, a big plus!
This show will be up through January and possibly into February of 2019. You can see it without buying a movie ticket, just tell them at the door. But why not see a movie, too?

It's always a treat to have a collector send us photos of our work in their homes. This one sort of bowled us over! 

Here's the partner to the Joshua Tree, in a different house. 

Beverly Hills ArtSHOW the first weekend (set up 7am Saturday, pull down 6pm Sunday).
The Other Art Fair in Santa Monica the next weekend (set up Thursday morning, work four days, pull down Sunday evening).
The third weekend, a two-person show of our personal work on Friday night at Blue Azul Gallery in San Diego.
​October Craziness!

We've got a busy season ahead.

Daphne moved back to Tennessee to support family there, but we are forging ahead with our partnership. New paintings arrived a few weeks ago in the mail, a gorgeous desert collection. We're making new prints (many people have requested the "Blooming Cactus" as a print, and it's a little jewel). 

Anna will do a small show at the 29 Palms Inn Oasis on Sept 15-16, the Joshua Tree National Park Art Exposition. Daphne will arrive for a whirlwind of shows in October: The Other Art Fair in Santa Monica, The Beverly Hills ArtSHOW, and a two person exhibition of our personal work at Blue Azul Gallery in San Diego. Hope to see you all at some point.

Anna and Daphne
