2009 went by in a flash!  Maddie and Cassie have grown SO MUCH in their first year, it is simply amazing, and I have been blessed to spend so much of this year with them.  I have continued to teach painting and drawing classes at the Trails Recreation Center (Centennial, CO) and have also been able to take on some freelance conservation work.  2010 is shaping up to be a busy year with several more exhibits scheduled and some conservation projects on the way as well.
