This coming Monday, I’ll be doing a free zoom demo at 11 am PST. It’s going to be all about notans, but I’m going to try something new. I’m going to start at the end, and go backwards through my process. Let me explain! :)

I’m back in my ol’ stompin’ grounds for one month only!! If you missed my show last month at my Open Studio, good news— I have the pleasure to do a follow up show at the Benicia Plein Air Gallery for the month of June. Read below to find out about my free zoom demo, the reception, and more.
