Hello Artists,

Some of you might have already heard, but, I am moving my studio to Watertown to a 1200 sq ft space that will allow me to teach and sell work.  I am hoping to have artists from the Highland Rim to exhibit in the gallery.    I used to have a gallery in Nashville in the 90's before I went back to school to get my Metals degree so combining the studio and the gallery is a good thing for me now.  

The work will be primarily on commission.  Anyone who would like to show work please let me know.   You can email me or call at 615-419-0353.

 

Have a great day,

Susan
