Matt Spahr, a sculptor from California (among other places), and

Valerie Molnar, a painter from Cleveland, investigate the transfer of

energy and the dynamic exchange within nature with color, form, and

complex time based installation. The collaboration began in 2012 as

their work collided through their friendship and mutual love for

plants. They both teach at Virginia Commonwealth University. Matt

earned his BFA from California State and Valerie from The Cleveland

Institute Of Art, they both made their move to Richmond for their

MFA's at VCU. The duo received a VMFA Professional fellowship this

year, they attended Mountain Lake's Art Lab Residency last summer,

and have recently returned from this year’s residency at Wave Pool

Gallery in Cincinnati Ohio.
