Paint & Sip in New York City (Tribeca)

Aston Philip is a painter originally from Sydney, Australia and now based in New York City. Aston's paintings have been exhibited at many notable Museums and Galleries including The Art Gallery of New South Wales, Artspace, Galerie Pompom, Campbelltown Art Centre and Gouldburn Regional Art Gallery, all in Australia. Recently his works have been included in exhibitions with The Williamsburg Art and Historical Center and Trestle Gallery in Brooklyn, Gallery Aferro in Newark and he has an upcoming solo exhibition planned for the Australian Consulate General Office in New York City. Aston's paintings and his interest in the environment and sustainability led to artist residencies at the Hafnarborg Centre for Contemporary Art in Iceland and at Bundanon in the pristine Shaolhaven Valley in Australia. In 2018 he undertook a 12 month artist in residence program at Trestle Art Space, through which, he developed his current paint tapestry technique. Spurred on by this new fascination with weaving and tapestry combined with his ongoing interest in botanical and animal illustration, he is now researching the decorative use of flora and fauna in historical crafts as a form of cataloging biodiversity. Aston's love of the environment and painting promotes the long standing connection of nature in art since the first known paintings, tens of thousands of years ago.

Danielle started her art journey all the way back in kindergarten, drawing snoopy and other characters she saw on t.v. Soon her talent was noticed by her fourth grade art teacher, she decided that Danielle could expand her talent and introduced her to an advanced weekend art class. There she learned every medium available to her, oils, acrylics, pastels, charcoal, watercolors, etc. She continued to expand her art horizons and soon had ambitions to seek art in school, she decided to apply and later attend F.H LaGuardia of Performing and Visual Arts. There she was among her peers and able to artistically find her own art style, while being introduced to even more new art forms she hadn't explored before. Upon graduating High school, she entered School of Visual Arts to further pursue her interests!
