What a wonderful variety of artistic enterprises! The creative mind never rests.

Do you participate in any art fairs?

Do you know my good friend David Bigelow who lives near you?

  Hi Connie, nice to hear from you and I have not done many art fairs, but may start doing more, I exhibit mostly in galleries. The name David Bigelow doesn't ring a bell, is he in Springfield, MO?

    David lives in Ozark and teaches at Evangel -- thought your paths may have crossed as he has been exhibiting at shows for many years and seems to know so many people involved in the arts in Missouri, in your region.

Hello Dale, that is a pretty impressive resume. It looks like you have amassed a wealth of creative information through the years. Are you involved in teaching and art shows? That would make for a very busy schedule.

We are glad you have joined us here. Hope to see you in the forums.
