Quotes:

"Gina and I have worked together before to present our work and that of other artists to the Spokane public, and we talked about how much we'd like to do that in the beautiful settings of gardens and river valley where we live and work. People loved the studio tour that first year, and the show has grown and added new things each year since." -Hulda Bridgeman, Tour Host

"Photographs are a perfect representation of a memory. Like memories, they are distorted from reality and subject to personal (emotional) interpretation. They are exaggerations of fact through the use of wide angle or telephoto lenses that flatten three dimensions into two." - Ira Gardner, Photographer

"The individual stones and components almost seem to select each other and create their own story together. It always pleases me when someone is immediately attracted to one certain piece. It is as if they hear that particular story, too." -Kris Howell, Jeweler
