Awesome News and a Couple of Commissions Ready to Go

Lots has happened since my last post. I have moved my studio to the Roswell Art Center West Location on Woodstock Road here in Roswell, Ga. I will now be apprenticing there and teaching classes and keep a working studio on the premises. Things are moving fast but its all good and I can not wait to be back on schedule again with my work and new responsibilities. 

Then, I am happy to report that I won "Best in Show" at the Gilmer Arts Juried Exhibition last week.

My piece "Quietly Blooming" Won and I was over the moon! The Opening was fun and chock full of  interesting people and good food. It was a magical night.

 Now, I leave you with two commissioned pieces that I finished this month: "Harnessing Bird Energy II" and "Mermaid Figure Head". The Mermaid is going to go live in Japan.

 It has been a productive month and I am exhausted.
