Ali:
I was born in Putaruru, New Zealand. My parents were in the Plants and Nursery Field and I have worked in several nurseries in the Bay of Plenty area of New Zealand. Even though I have no formal training in art, I always enjoyed doing arts and crafts with my two sons as they were growing up.
After meeting Dart, I moved to the United States and we were married in August of 2005.
In April of 2009, we moved back to New Zealand where we are continueing with our spray paint art. I love being back home, I no longer feel like a fish out of water
Dart:
I was born in Hannibal, MO and moved to the St. Louis, MO area at the age of 11.
When in school, I took every art course that my High School had to offer. Two years after Graduting, I entered into the US ARMY and while running an obstacle course in Air Assault School at Fort Campbell, KY., I tore up my knee and was discharged shortly there after.
I worked for the United States Postal Service for 12 years, before going on Disability Retirement. I am the proud father of three sons.
In 2004, I met Ali online in the Yahoo Chat Rooms. In 2005, I went to New Zealand for a 'Trip of a Lifetime' to meet her face to face. Things went so well that I proposed to her.
Our journey in life has now taken us to New Zealand, to share our artwork with the Southern Hemisphere.
