Husband and wife team Chloe York and Eric Quick are a professional painter and sculptor, respectively. They met in art school in 2008 and immediately bonded over their love for movie monsters, quirky home decor, animal skulls and other oddities. Their Birmingham, AL home is filled with insect specimens, taxidermy, bones, imported masks, and original art.

Chloe has established herself as a professional abstract artist and is best known for her Decorator series, paintings of silhouetted figures covered in oceanic and floral detritus. She has displayed her work in over 100 group and solo exhibitions throughout the mid-South and her solo exhibit, Decorators was named one of Memphis’s top ten visual art exhibits for 2013. She was awarded Best in Show at the 2021 Magic City Art Connection in Birmingham, AL and has created work for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. When she’s not painting abstract seascapes or framing bugs, she writes fantasy and horror novels, including her upcoming debut Our Devil’s Awake, releasing with Undertaker Books in 2026.

Eric is an award-winning special effects and make-up artist who has been trained in mold-making, casting, and other sculpting techniques. He has worked on such films as “ARV-3” and “Solus,” as well as theater productions like, “Into the Woods,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Shrek: The Musical.” He won an Ostrander Theater Award for his work on Theatre Memphis’s production of “Into the Woods” in 2016. He currently shares his love of special effects with his students at Fultondale High School.

Chloe and Eric juggle their time between working and teaching while raising their ferocious daughter, Echo.
