We had a great time in Bisbee. Central School is the perfect location to have an exhibition.
We’ll be back in the spring of 2016 to do it again.

Maker House, Tucson AZ October 4th 2014

A great success!!

It was a wonderful show at Maker House. Several hundred curious patrons turned up, drank wine, pondered Art, laughed, smiled, drank wine, discussed, frowned, drank wine, and stayed for hours.

We must do this again!
