What an incredibly warm welcome!
Terri, so nice to hear form you. I love the work you've been posting! I used to live up in Nashua NH, practically a neighbor.

I also was in software development for most of my career! Glad to know the big switch can work! You are definitely an inspiration to me.
Heidi, thank you for stopping in to say hello. Can't wait to see more of your work! I've been itching to try some sculpture.
Cynthia - thank you so much. I know we're both going to have a great time getting to know these wonderful people!
Linda, thank you! I adore your style. What more can I say?!
Garth, I am really happy to have a welcome from you. The Philadelphia area is such a great place for artists and it is surely nice to have more portrait artists nearby. I wish I could say that I had studied in the area, but no. I have no formal training at all. Unless you count drafting class during Engineering School, that is! I aim to pursue formal instruction as soon as I can. If you have any particular recommendations of instruction in the area, please let me know!
