My art is up! I'm so excited 🙂 Come take a look at the Snoqualmie City Hall for the next three months. Jason helped me prep and hang 10 pieces, and they look great. My thanks to Jason, Pam and Marie for helping me crest this next level in my art-venture ❤️

Just a few quick sketches from this week. Who doesn't like a good mermaid? 🙂
