I’m excited to be showing an eclectic mix of pieces…plus I’ll have The Chester County Studio Tour catalogs available for you to pick up.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Opening May 5th, 5:30 -9 pm. It’s going to be a wonderful Phoenixville First Friday! With many local artists sharing their creativity around town…Hope to see you there✨
