St. Barths Residency!

I'm here for a month as a guest artist, painting and showing my work in Eden Rock Gallery, and giving lessons to guests. It's so great to be back! I was here in 2006, and am so fortunate to be able to return. I'll post interesting news and photos of paintings I make here... enjoy!
