Your work is fabulous! I graduated from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit in 2002, and your work is better than most painters I graduated with. You're sure to go far.
I have work in galleries around northern Michiga, Synchronicity in Glen Arbor, Gallery on Main in Bay Harbor, Stafford's Gallery in Petoskey, as well as Manistee and Saugatuck. I hope I will soon see your work hanging next to mine.
Look forward to experiencing more of your work when I visit Northern Michigan in July.
Best of luck,
Fondly,
Mimi
