Thank You

My Parents and Me

In my booth with my parents at this year's Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts. Each year, my parents schlep up to Pennsylvania from their home in Georgia to help out my husband and me during the long days of the show and to dog sit for our studio mascot, Annie.


This past weekend I exhibited at the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts. I didn't know what to expect going into the show with our current economy and the challenges that so many people face right now. Much to my (pleasant) astonishment, this show was our most successful ever. Buoyed by a 50/50 split between new and repeat customers, my husband and I sold an almost equal number of recent landscapes and cityscapes. In addition, I received the Robert and Virginia Mountz Award of Merit for my overall body of work at the show. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported me this past weekend. I truly appreciate your continued enthusiasm for my artwork!
