"Scaffolding" Print

I have a studio in factory from the 1800’s with 60 other artists. I paint in oil and watercolors and make collages.
The last 4 years were busy. I finished my MFA, had a solo museum exhibition, a solo exhibit at a university, sold paintings, worked on an essay about abstract art and psychology and so forth. In my spare time, I love to sing.
