I'm proud to say that four of my new pieces are being shown at The Route of Art Gallery in Florence, Alabama. I had never been to Florence before, so making the trip to drop off my work and see the space was absolutely fantastic! I can't wait to go back and visit again!

Patrick Mayton working his magic! The live printmaking was a hit!

wall of loose prints-->ready for purchase! go check them out!!!

------>Mr. and Mrs. Almost<------

We had such an amazing turn out for the show's opening night. It was crazy how many people were piling in right at 5pm. (We even ran out of liquor before 7pm and had to go get more!)

I can't tell you how much fun it was to meet the other artists and be able to tell them how much I LOVED their work. I've never wanted to buy so many pieces of artwork before...I'll admit, I had to at least purchase one!

Charles Buchanan, you put together an awesome printmaking show and I'm so very proud and thankful to be a part of it.

Hope everyone's enjoying the holidays!
