TLDR: Artist statement from our show/listings for the 4 remaining pieces
"After more than 10 years of friendship, and solidarity as working artists, Andy Joy Chase and Evan Jed Memmott have finally begun to collaborate. Kindred Spirits is their first collection of collaborative work being shown publicly.
The creative process is always a challenge, and collaboration can be even harder. It took us more than a year to complete our first piece (Sego Lily), but once we did we were so pleased with the result. Our styles are incredibly different, and we weren’t sure how it was going to work out. Evan’s approach is methodical, and focused on precision when executing his squiggly line-based designs. Andy has a much more wild approach, executing her unique linework with a very special twig she dips in Sumi ink, her drawings often including drips, splatters, and scribbles.
Kindred Spirits is a celebration of our kinship, both the things we have in common, and the things we don’t. The things we have in common brought us together, and the results of our differences are here on display. Our different styles and approaches form a connection that feels both natural and intentional. These collaborations somehow shine a light on both our individual styles while still feeling balanced as a whole. The contrast is illuminating. These are our first collaborations, but they will definitely not be our last.
Kindred Spirits is just the beginning."

Now available on my website “Cereus” 32”x40” mixed media painting on panel andyjoychase.bigcartel.com or through @evanjed leftover from our collaborative show, “Kindred Spirits” #andyjoychaseart
Late post, but show is down and there is a new show opening tonight @harrington_art_studio (see story) Thanks so much again for all the love for “Kindred Spirits”. Thanks you to @jwoojwoo for the photos and helping us hang the show 💕 We will be posting the leftover pieces, stay tuned.
32”x40” mixed media on panel. I attempted to draw a woodpecker and went with a golden eagle instead. Evan’s crisp line work tied the painting together beautifully. You can still check out the show for another two weeks or so. ——SOLD—— #andyjoychaseart
This little guy was one of my favorite pieces that Andy and I made for KINDRED SPIRITS. It was intimidating to execute, but I really enjoyed it. And it gave me some ideas of other designs I could try. This show snapped me out of a creative lull I'd been stuck in for quite a while, and I'm so grateful to be out of it. Just hope it sticks. 🤞🤞
Wooooow, thanks so much to everyone who came out to support “Kindred Spirits” our hearts are very full and our brains are pleasantly tired. Thanks so much to @harrington_art_studio for being so amazing and continuing to support art and artists.
A few quiet moments finishing up blocking in the first coat of the background on this piece. Come check it out along with the rest of the collaborations with Andy this Saturday from 6-9pm at @harrington_art_studio .
