Her first harvest was in 1998 at Comte Armand in Pommard, with California experience at David Bruce and Goldeneye wineries. Suzanne and Chris have been married since 2005 and are excited about their new joint project of Horse & Plow and the opportunity that allows them to work together for the first time.
Alan Crockett has a MFA from U.C. Davis and a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. His paintings are in many private collections and he has shown at various galleries across the country. Alan’s paintings are slightly reminiscent of old master landscapes with thick multi layered glazes and a luminous light. The paintings are inspired by the rivers and creeks of far northern California. He has published several artists’ books and is currently program director for the Klamath–Siskiyou Art Center.
Florance Condos has a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. Florance’s Graphite Drawings and Oil Paintings are botanical investigations that evoke 18 and 19th century plant drawings and paintings. Her art employs elements of highly refined accuracy with passages of loose gestural marking that both obscure and reveal her artistic process. She has exhibited widely and her artwork is in many private collections across the country.
