My new direction is that I am now leading an arts support group through an organization called 4Tucson. I mentioned 4Tucson in one of my blogs a few months back. But to refresh your memory, 4 Tucson is a grass roots, Christian organization with the focus on making Tucson a great city to live in, to do business in and to be a fabulous destination for the whole family. A few ways we are accomplishing that is to pray for Tucson corporately and individually and to bring awareness to everyone that Tucson can be a place to raise families, work, worship, retire, and create…

Tile Classes Start May 28
I will be offering handmade clay tile class this summer.

Up & Coming Fall Art Shows 2012
