Generated over $1600 in proceeds from my art donations to the Loudoun Cares Art Auction last night 😊. I'm so glad because they are a great cause!

Tomorrow (Saturday) is a reception for the next exhibit at Artists in Middleberg, from 1-3pm, where they'll sell my books for a completely different, but nonetheless fantastic cause, providing art education and training for students in local schools. You should come visit!
