I am so thankful for the opportunities that I've had to share my art and photography with others! I look forward to more shows, meet-ups, and gallery events this year, n the future, and in more cities too!

This was the first time I've ever made my art into merchandise!
This was my first time giving away mini prints!
8.5x11 wrapped prints, my portfolio of "City Drawings" and a small container of original art and small photos!
A list of cities people have written down for me to draw next!
I was finally able to utilize a print rack for a show!
