<DIV><FONT size=5>Glad to meet you. I was also excited to hear about this list. I haven't been able to make it to a national convention in years I'm very sorry to say, so I missed the exhibit. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=5>I live in Kansas City and worked as a journalist for more than a decade. A few years ago I had to quit working because of various medical issues. The up side was it gives me more time to work on my artwork. I do mostly acrylic and watercolor painting, although some more crafty things here and there. I have some photos of some of my artwork on facebook. The photos, however, aren't that great. I don't have the equipment to do really nice professional shots. </FONT></DIV>
