Thank you, Casey
I’m so grateful to have been able to study under you, in two exciting workshops on color. Your teachings have inspired me , to experiment, let go of control, and be fearless in my use of color.

Thank you, Mary-Anne
Not so weird at all. I have a number of pictures of me hugging and even inside the hollow of a Great Cedar in Yosemite.
They are a marvel to behold. I’m just so grateful to be painting them.
