A Heartfelt Thank You — The Journey Continues! As one chapter closes, another begins—with a grateful heart and plenty of stories left to tell.
Dear Friends, Artists, Collectors, and Supporters, As I prepare to send my final email through Constant Contact, I want to take a moment to say something that can never be said enough: Thank you!
Throughout my career, I have had the extraordinary privilege of meeting, working with, and getting to know so many wonderful people. Artists, collectors, patrons, volunteers, community leaders, friends, and countless others have supported my work, attended exhibitions, participated in festivals, shared ideas, and helped turn dreams into realities.
Together, we have been part of some truly remarkable things. From exhibitions and festivals to community celebrations, cultural initiatives, and countless creative collaborations, we have made memories, built friendships, opened doors for artists, and contributed to a vibrant arts community. None of it would have been possible without you.
As many of you know, I announced my retirement two years ago. Since then, I have embraced another chapter of my life, one that allows me to concentrate on my own painting, photography, and writing.
Lately, I have been especially busy writing my memoirs, short stories, and travel adventures. Along the way, I have found myself reflecting on the wonderful people, extraordinary experiences, and all the great things we have been a part of over the years. Many of those memories continue to inspire my work and find their way into the stories I now share.
The creative spirit hasn't retired. It has simply found new ways to express itself!
Until today, I have kept this mailing list because, quite frankly, I didn't want to lose touch with so many people who have meant so much to me. But the time has come to say goodbye to Constant Contact, not to the friendships and connections we have made over the years.
I hope we'll continue to stay in touch.
I invite you to follow me on Substack, where I share my memoirs, short stories, travel adventures, photography, and reflections on art, life, and the remarkable people and places that have shaped my journey.
And who knows? You may even recognize yourself or a familiar moment in one of my stories!
As we approach the holiday season, I wish you and your loved ones wonderful celebrations filled with peace, good health, happiness, and plenty of reasons to smile.
Thank you for your friendship, your encouragement, your generosity, and for being part of all the wonderful things we have accomplished together. I will always treasure those experiences and the people who made them possible.
