Jackie Welch-Schlicher and Rebecca Mark are both artists who have mastered the art of listening deeply, receptivity and response, and playing with the magic of the unexpected. Each of them uses “an open hand” when crafting their work, which allows the artistic expression to reflect the improvisational nature of life. The practice of trust rather than control, receiving rather than forcing, keeps the work fresh and alive no matter what the form or task.
