Greetings! 2008 is here and I wish you a safe and very Happy New Year! The holidays really snuck up on me this season, and from what I hear it was just as sneaky with a lot of others. It doesn't seem that long ago that I was sitting in my pajamas next to our Christmas tree, with my brother, who was playing with his new toy truck and my sister, holding her new doll and me cradling my brand new Autoharp. It was all I ever dreamed of and wanted for Christmas that year. I still think about that Autoharp and wonder if I should have stuck with it. Well that was then and this is now, and music has always been a big part of my life, so much so that it became the central focus of my artwork. If you love music as much as I do, I hope you'll come out this month and see me. There's one show closing and another opening. With fondest regards and I hope to see you soon!
