This is the website of Frank Rekrut, sculptor and Laura Thompson, painter.

"Art has the ability to allow for a much needed pause... a calm, reflective moment that endures in an often "too fast" world.

Artists provide an opportunity for the viewer to see that which is frequently sacrificed in our hurry.

As artists, we are able to help recall a person or a place, show beauty in everyday objects and events, and record our ideologies both past and present.

This chance to take a "second look" at everything we so often fail to notice is what lured us to both Art and Florence, Italy."
