Years before I moved to Lambertville, I met Ayala at a networking event for artists, and, when she mentioned that her gallery was in the LBV, I perked up immediately. My partner and I ended up coming to a music jam that Ayala’s partner, SiriOm, organized, and years later my sweetie and SiriOm now play out together sometimes. Since moving to town, I’ve met plenty of other Lambertville artists, including Hope and Winifred.

You can watch the making of SiriOm and Ayala’s portraits.
