Gallery Happenings

I'm so excited to announce that I am now in a wonderful gallery in downtown Anoka (Minnesota)! My sister has been raving about Krista Artista Gallery for quite a while. I was lucky enough to visit my dad's in Anoka just after Christmas and finally got to see the gallery for myself. A myriad of artisan goods from inspired individuals. Often at galleries, I feel that I have to act cooler than I really am or that my wallet needs to be a little fatter in order to touch the merchandise.

Not so at this place! I immediately felt an affinity for the work inside. Most memorable were the pottery pieces. There were these feelings of comfort and inspiration. I had to be a part of it.

My gushing praise aside, I contacted the gallery owner, Krista, and things proceeded pretty quickly. She accepted my work and I am in! My first shipment has arrived at her gallery and we are working on finishing touches!  I can't wait to see how it goes--fingers crossed.
