Annie Han and Daniel Mihalyo are a two-person artist collective in Seattle-based LEAD PENCIL STUDIO. Since 2002, they have worked together in the areas of installation art and sculpture. Their work ranges widely in mediums, materials, scales, and disciplines with a pervading interest in architectural space and the urban environment, often in relationship to the natural world.
