Garage Key Group Once upon a time, there were three very different artitsts who were friends: Rebecca Boatman was a ceramic artist who worked in mixed media sculptures. Chris Fulmer painted large canvases & incorporated found objects in her symbolic works. Sandra Heller worked plein aire in oil & pastels. Every Friday, they would leave their respective studios & get together for a sip of wine. One Friday they decided it would be fun to work while drinking!Since they all worked so differently, they came up with all sorts of new ideas & soon their new art was in galleries. The artists decided they must find a name . . . so they selected their weekly toast, "Garagekey." What is Garagekey, you ask? Why it's what Sandra's grandmother always said before imbibing. And now you know the story!
