Art Forever

I participated in a virtual studio on July 30, 2020. Thank You to Samantha Black for this great opportunity to share my workspace and some history about my work. And thank you to fellow artist Lynne B. for recording me. This was great fun despite Zoom going on and off on us, Hopefully I  will be able to provide some video of the tour. These times are strange and trying for all yet we must keep on producing art and music.More work coming soon. Stay safe and Well!
