The good news is I don’t need surgery! When I last saw my doctor he was very pleased with how well I was healing up and the recovery in my wrist. That week off from work followed by over a week of working from home is what really did it – I was finally able [...]

It’s crazy the things that happen when I get a few days off work, some well needed rest, and am not allowed to use my left hand!

I just got back from hanging up my piece at Out of Order, the annual Free Hung exhibition, silent auction, and party going on at Maryland Art Place (MAP) this Friday.
