Happy holidays!
Posted: December 24, 2021 Filed under: Uncategorized 51 CommentsThe past year has been difficult for so many people, but it’s still given me unexpected joy as I’ve connected (and often sketched) with many of you virtually, through online courses, Zoom chats, email and blog comments. I am grateful for the gift of art, which has brought us closer together, even when we can’t paint side by side. I hope that the holiday season and the new year bring you love, health and lots of time to create.

Shari,
Happy Holidays to you as well!
I signed up for one of your courses a while back. Haven’t started it yet nor been painting as much as I’d like because I have become a travel agent. Yes, during covid 🤪 May be crazy timing, but someday it will come back to some type of normalcy, but different! We will get used to it!
I’m no longer the Programs Director of Artists’ Circle, however I am wondering if you’d be willing to do a return performance on Zoom.
All the best to you and your family!
