I found your blog earlier this year and have to admit I kept wondering "How did she get that $#* awesome job?" Thanks for telling the story. It inspired me to approach our local TDB about doing an art blog for the "art town" where I live--Asheville,…

I'd love to see your niche work out for you. I think think the impressionist hook is a fine one. I love that body of work as well. It was an amazing time with unusually close bonds among these artists carving out a place for themselves and for the a…
