I just completed another semester of school.  It was a great learning experience to try several art mediums I had never explored in the past:  painting, ceramics and stained glass.  I learned some things about myself and gained a lot of self confidence.  While I'm looking forward to taking Painting II, Ceramics II and Stained Glass II in the fall, I'm really excited to have the summer off to continue work on my photographic portfolio.  My goal is to take my photography to the next level and finally take the steps necessary to establish a business.  I have a lot of work ahead of me, but I'm excited to roll up my sleeves and make it happen.  I will be opening a photographic studio in July at the Western Ave Studios in Lowell, MA.  If you are ever in the area, please feel free to stop by and say hello.  Now that I can focus on photography for the next few months, I plan to stop by here daily and post images on a weekly basis.  I look forward to re-connecting with the many wonderful artist I have made friends with over the years here on DA.

Take care my friends.  I looking forward to seeing you here.
