Thank You for Visiting my Studio October 2018!

Thank you! Life Imitates Art?? I can't thank all of you enough for stopping by Gnos Art Studio over these last 2 weekends! I loved visiting with you and sharing your connection to the sea, music, and living a creative life!

Surprises included characters stepping out of my paintings into my actual studio. Thank you for inspiring me, Charlie Puffer of Puffers of Pismo, Melissa Hardie Phillip, Erin Inglish, Kelsey See Canyon Vineyards & all Avila Beach friends! You all made it possible for me to donate to Jack’s Helping Hand.❤️❤️❤️❤️
