AMBIDEXTROUS is made up of husband and wife artists Andrae Green and Priya Nadkarni Green. Together they draw from their individual practices as painters to create public art, murals and special projects. Their aim is to inspire positivity, beauty and excitement through their collaborative work. Projects often interface directly with the public and through participation from student assistants. Their studios can be found in their Springfield, Massachusetts home.
