Join us for an evening of celebration Friday, April 27, 2018
GIRL FRIENDS is a series of paintings that celebrate women and our friendships. These connections come in as many forms as we do; sometimes fun and frivolous, other times serious, brand new or forever.
Our bonds can bestow absolute joy and, during tough times, will get us through anything life throws at us. Even when we girls neglect to nourish a friendship, it can lie dormant for decades and come to life with barely a nudge.
It is a gift to cherish and be eternally grateful for.
