Jerry and Suzanne Edwards had no idea that someday they would be having an art exhibit together, when they met at the Post Office in 2010. As a matter of fact, standing in a long line at the Wasilla Post Office resulted in lots of surprises. Suzanne, who had never had any children of her own, married Jerry in 2013 and they had six out of his seven grandchildren in their wedding. After their retirement, they started taking art workshops, including those offered at The Machetanz Art Festival, at Mat-Su College of UAA, Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival, Alaska Watercolor Society, and Kachemak Bay Society visiting artist workshops. Now the two of them are ready to show a body of work as a result of the last five years of art making together. Stop by Kaladi Brothers in the Carrs Mall during the month of June and feast your eyes on some very exciting watercolor pieces. For more information contact Suzanne at (907) 301-5308. By the way, if you find yourself standing in a long line at the Post Office, just remember that some folks met there, then ended up happily married and showing their art together.
