I'll send out quarterly email newsletters with an update on work available by Distinct Studios Artists. The quarterly newsletter may include articles and links to art news of interest. If you are interested in developing an art collection for yourself or your organization, watch this space over the next few months. I'll be posting articles about how my husband and I started collecting and share thoughts on the process of building and maintaining an art collection. Collecting is done for many reasons.

We provide one on one consulting for new art collectors. The consulting includes advise and instruction on how to start the process of collecting. The consulting is a plus for individuals and organizations that have an interest but may find the idea of building a collection daunting. Whether it be budget or where to look for original art work, I'll be speaking to you from the voice of experience.
Adjoa J. Burrowes is a mixed-media artist, author and arts educator with a BFA in printmaking from Washington DC and an MA in art education from the Corcoran School of Art at George Washington University. Her work evokes a sense of movement and depth to such an extent the viewer feels that they are moving through a rich, layered environment.
In her art, she explores the subtle rhythmic variation in our daily lives. Using natural fibers and hand embroidery stitches, each work explores it's "objectness" with the tension created between hand-stitched materials and the structure of the underlying grid. The resulting work creates a mediative presence.
The "Death Becomes Her" collages explore fashion, human nature, and climate change. These collages were a response to my personal feelings of existential dread and sparked when I received a gift of an 1894 women's fashion magazine. This periodical was a fascinating window into the past that included the latest fabulous fashions of the day but also a lot of bad advice for women, much of it authored by men, regarding their health and numerous opinions about how they should conduct themselves.
