So, I’m merging it with my Studio blog. If you want to continue following my work, please subscribe to the Studio Blog. On the same form […]

Call for Art – Indescribably Yours
We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are. – Anaïs Nin What is that special something that attracts you to a work of art, or a person for that matter? It’s often hard to define or put into words. Yet there are undeniably times that you see a work of […]
