Moving On

Moving On

July 2015

It is with regret that I have decided to leave Sumner & Dene Gallery in Albuquerque and Act I Gallery in Taos.  With limited time on my hands, I have decided to concentrate my efforts on my partnership with Canyon Road Contemporary in Santa Fe.   Thanks to Roy at Sumner & Dene for the opportunity to show in his gallery these last few years, and to Anita, Deanna and Gary at Act 1.  I believe this is the best direction for me so that I grow as an artist and I look forward to the future and new designs in glass.
