"This is an exciting time for the community to come out and visit local artists in their studio as well as purchase art and enjoy the husband and wife show, 'Til Death Do Us Art," said a spokesperson for the AAO. "Bob is a local photographer, taking photos of local scenery. Laurie is a stained glass artist who owns and operates her studio, Glasshaven. She also enjoys other media such as, pottery, painting and collage. The show is a collaboration of both artists. Kesters enjoy inspiring each other through their art."
