Sabrina Murdoch-Kitt

Board Chair Sabrina Murdoch-Kitt has been involved with Studio Two Three since August of 2010. She began printmaking in high school and developed the interest throughout college. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Studio Art and Foreign Affairs from University of Virginia where she concentrated on Printmaking and Photography. Like many young printmakers, she didn’t know where to turn after graduated. So she did what many do: she turned to other more accessible passions, like Public Administration. Sabrina went to work in government gaining many skills such as evaluation and strategic planning. Since that time she has gotten a Master's in Public Administration with a concentration in Nonprofit Management and found, through fate, her way back to printmaking at Studio Two Three.

Sarah Watson Moore

Sarah Watson Moore is a Richmond native and printmaker. After receiving her BFA from VCU in 2007, she joined forces with her old classmate Ashley to found Studio Two Three, which during the Studio's humble beginnings meant moving a pair of flat files into a 600 square foot studio. Sarah and Two Three have matured over the years; the Studio is now a 501(c)(3) certified Non Profit Organization in a fully equipped 2200 square foot warehouse on Main Street, and Sarah has somehow found herself a married homeowner with a second vacation home: a trailer on the Chickahominy. When she's not working at Two Three or slinging food & drink, Sarah spends her time refining schemes with her husband, Mike, doting on their two dogs and reading fantasy books.
