See ya in NYC soon!!! 😁✌🏾✨ #LeRoyEHoffbergerSchoolofPainting #MFAgrads #workingartists #gradschoolfamily (at Emerson Bromo-Seltzer Tower)

This is a detail shot of #paintings I make exclusively while my #baby #naps. Each set is complete when she wakes up, no matter how long I have worked. See this work in person at the @gmu.artifex show on March 1. Follow them for images from myself and other #MFAgrads.
