New studio in Dumbo, Brooklyn NY!

My year at The Whale Building in Sunset Park has come to a close, and I’m so excited to share that I’ve set up a new gorgeous studio in DUMBO with my high school friend Dianne V @diannevbags

Dianne's story is incredible - all materials were lost in the Red Hook pier fire of Sept. 17th. Out of that loss came a new beginning. After forty years, this high school friendship has come full circle, and we've reunited to start an inspiring new creative adventure together.

Here's to this next phase of "life in retirement" - full of art, freindship, and fresh energy!
