I am a 46 year old girl who has had a tremendous year of firsts. First time without a child at home, first time in a real, honest ,deeply loving relationship and the first time I've been encouraged to show my art. I have graciously been allowed to spend the last year finding myself and growing and learning all different art forms. Art has always been my secreret form of escape from reality . I can honestly say that I would  not have come thru life this far at least not as mildly sane without it.
