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.

My Art school Final critiques took place during an eclipse and my teachers said they wouldn't expect anything less. My sister and I observed our small existence in the Grand Canyon as we star-bathed under the glorious milk way.
