I strongly support any gathering that includes art, snacks, and securely mounted work.

Today I reported to the studio to supervise the stretching of a giant canvas. What began as measuring and mild debate quickly turned into a full lesson in tension, precision, and the surprising importance of tidy corners. Kat Collins taught Becca and Jill how to transform raw canvas into a gallery-ready surface, and I found myself unexpectedly fascinated by the entire process. Expanded field notes now on the blog.
