I am very happy to be included in the Contemporary Art Society exhibit in Tucson this spring. It was a one day "pop-up" show that drew in very accomplished artists. A portion of sales from this show was donated to the Tucson Museum of Art!
The link below brings you to the listings of all the artists and their works that were part of the CAS exhibit in downtown Tucson.
