Opening 3pm May 10th. at The Mandarin Tree Gallery, Gordonton.
I'm excited to share with you this joyous collection of new works.

Each of the nine works are printed in a vibrant array of colours with only two of each alike.

Please save the date and join me to celebrate at the opening at 3pm on May 10th.
