What a phenomenally continuous and steady turnout and unqualified success of an evening. I couldn't be happier. Thank you all for coming.

Did you miss my show opening this first Thursday past? Never fear, the work is still there. Shift Gallery is open Fridays and Saturdays, 12-5, through all of August and into Saturday, Sept 2. Some words of mine here; gallery location, etc information here.

What is this blog? Check out the explanatory first post, or read the 2017 front-page Seattle Times writeup here!
