Hello,


Eileen and Carole, I'm very happy to see you together in this show. You look great! Congratulations.

I just wanted to share with you my new public art project for the city of Temecula.

It is a mosaic mural for the new civic center building. (7x10 feet). Check this article:

I was also surprised to be a featured artist in The Kitchen and Residential Design blog last Tuesday:
