He relocated to Cornwall in 2002.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch of Gary's work addresses themes of grief and loss, yet his creations, whether painted or knitted, are typically positive, joyous, and celebratory. Angels frequently appear in his work, symbolizing either the process of coping with loss or the creation of a fantastical world for his angelic grandson, Florian. His current portfolio is a diverse blend of painting, knitted textiles, children's book illustration, hand-painted signs, and illustrations for businesses and products. Gary finds that these various projects inspire one another, and his background as a graphic designer influences his paintings, incorporating elements of hand lettering, typography, fairground, and tattoo art. He also has a deep appreciation for \"kidlit\" art and pop art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChloe Woods studied at Bournville College of Art and has a degree from Nottingham Trent University. After a career in Interior Architecture she reignited her love for painting on her relocation to Cornwall in 2015. Since then she has been working as an Interior Designer, Gallerist and Painter. Chloe became a full time artist in 2025.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen artist Gary Ray Smith joined Krowji, he and Chloe Woods quickly connected over shared creativity and humour. A discussion about AI sparked the first Claude collaboration, October Wood, which sold before completion. Their partnership now blends Chloe’s precision with Gary’s expressive wit, evolving Claude’s world through imagination and experimentation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternational Orders\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003ePlease note - shipping costs do not include any duties and tax payments that may be due upon import.
