Hello. I've been busy stitching up some landscapes, butterflies, moths, birds and nests this year.
Listed below are
four places to find my work this
December. All events and locations are free to attend or by donation.
Sales are handled by gallery staff. Pieces can be taken home as
purchased. No need to wait until the end of the exhibitions. Re-stocking
happens throughout the shows so the work is always fresh.
