Manželé Grant a Erin Garmezy pracují jako tým. Grant vytváří velké sochy zvířat, zatímco Erin vytváří delikátní botanická díla. Našli způsob, jak přirozeně spojit své řemeslné dovednosti a odlišné přístupy v křehkou symbiózu. Kontrast masivního hutního skla a křehkých výtvorů nad kahanem tvoří hlavní výraz těchto unikátních děl.
