Leslie Bernsen and Connie Tunick began doing collaborative work when attending a printmaking class at a community college in January 1998. Each had been in the class for several semesters and each was seeking a unique approach to printmaking. Both women had been working as professional artists for many years. Leslie's background is in textile design, while Connie's is in art education. Leslie Bernsen works on large canvases, painting in acrylics and often incorporating collage into her work. Connie Tunick's paintings are watermedia and the theme is frequently nature oriented. Both artists use mixed media freely, and are able to change direction. They both enjoy experimental art and are continually expanding and developing their styles and creative visions. The collaboration was a learning process, and the resulting art is different than either artist's work. It is unusual for two artists to work together. Because Leslie and Connie were enthusiastic with the collaborative artwork, in July 1998 they decided to buy a press and open their own studio. The studio was aptly called A Double Vision. The art created there is the vision of two artists, with each creating half of the art.
