As partners in their art business, Square House Studio, Steve and Maire are daily creatives who serve as a muse for each other. When they are not making art or taking photos, you may spot them driving around the Shore in their VW Beetle convertible heading to the Farmer’s Market or to Oxford for the sunset … give ‘em a wave!
