FIRST Solo Show ~ May 2025 ~ Market at Milton

The Market at Milton, located in the Milton School House in Alton, Illinois was the location of my first Solo Show.  Maeva's Coffee, a superb coffee shop with amazing food (!) was instrumental in promoting my art.  SO many supportive people live, work and shop in the School House.  A truly unexpected  experience!
