“Ms. Brine, who now manages the couple’s design office, was doing large-scale acrylic paintings… ( in the early 1980’s) and showing them at alternative art spaces like Fashion Moda in the Bronx and ABC No Rio on the Lower East Side; after she became immersed in the world of plants, though, she turned to botanical watercolors.”

“Both Brine and his wife, Julia, have art in their blood. She is a botanical illustrator and graphic designer, and he once was an art director in film. ”
