Life has gotten the better of me

Well, life has been going at warp speed these days.  As such, I've neglected this good ol' blog a bit.  As a brief update for things to look forward to - please make sure you check out the sidebar for upcoming exhibitions.  I hope to be able to see you at one of these events.  Also, I thought I would post some info on some upcoming classes I'll be teaching.  Please contact Artspace to register.
