The Big Announcement!

Yup!  The rumors are true!!!  

I'm Going on Sabbatical!    

I have always felt that I have been on an "artistic journey".  It began in school and has developed in St. Thomas, over the last 10 years.  I have owned & operated my gallery, Everyday Clay Studio for the last 3 years, owned & operated Key Art Supplies for 2 ½ years, been on the Board of Directors of Arts Alive for 3 years and was a founding father of Artvi Advocates & am currently the Vice-Chair. 

St. Thomas has been an incredibly inspirational location and the experience of working with the many talented artists and gallery owners has been immeasurable.  I have had the opportunity to immerse myself in another culture that has broadened my creativity beyond words... or pictures :)  

However, I feel that after 10 years, my creative juices are running dry & and advancement in my artistic career is slightly stunted.

I hope to learn and develop new skills and relax, recoup, redevelop myself and take a needed and deserved break.  I also hope to increase in productivity upon return & ultimately benefit my artistic career & the Virgin Islands art community.

Please stop in the gallery  
Monday - Friday,   
12:30 - 5:00pm or   
Saturday 10am - 5:00pm  
to make your final purchases & 
help me travel & discover my inner artistic beauty!   

My final day in the gallery will be  
Saturday, July 16th,  
for the Arts Alive  
"Art in the Garden" Festival -  
10:00am-5:00pm

Feel free to contact me about gallery items or art supplies at (340)775-1405 mon-sat - 12:30-5pm

Oh yeah, the important question -  
Where are you going?!?   
Europe!  Starting in Denmark & then visiting friends in London, Ireland & Paris, with a stop in Venice to see the Venice Bienalle!  Yipee!!!!
