Hey Kim -
Happy new year! Good to hear from a fellow North Texan :)
I wanted to let you know - and anyone on the list who is interested - that I
have a solo exhibition at Keller Town Center the for entire month of
January. There is a reception that I'll be at on Thurs Jan 13th (in
conjunction with the local gallery walk). Not sure where you are in the
metroplex, but if it is drivable and it works with your schedule come by and
say hi!
I'll have about 40 large works on display. Got some new work from my trip
to New Zealand this past month as well as Italy earlier this year. I've
been printing and mounting like mad for the past bit getting ready. Should
be good. I'll be donating 20% of all sales to the local arts program.
Here is more info (see second item on the page below):
