Celebrate the Freedom to Create!

4th of July, aka Independence Day, in the US just passed us by with loud booms and exploding lights but the reminder remains that we should be grateful for our freedoms!  One thing I’m particularly thankful for is the freedom to be a full time artist and to create pieces that express my thoughts and feelings, whether they appeal to anyone else or not, whether they cause discussion or argument, I’m free to create them…and you’re free to (hopefully) enjoy them (& own them…just email me…wink wink)!

So this month, come celebrate creativity with me at these two FREE (see the theme here?) art openings in Central & Southern New Jersey:

Barron Arts Center July Show
