Meet the Artist (with pie)

A Great Big Thank You to Carol Selman for a lovely review of the show on Montclair Patch. You can also catch a glimpse of Jennifer Anne Moses's work "Waking Visions" in the main gallery read the review

And if a summer beach conflict made you miss Mary's fabby apple cake at the opening, please stop by the closing reception next Sunday for a Meet the Artist Q&A session. I am pretty sure there will be pie

Perfectly Broken

Luckily we only have a few minor scrapes and dings after Irene's visit this weekend. Nothing major broken And so far only a few annoying electrical blips...but I will keep the emergency lights handy until the ground dries out.

Looking forward to a perfect blue sky tomorrow, with the air swept clean and fresh
