To usher the New Year with a good suprise!... I received an email this week from  Artsy Shark, letting me know that I was selected to be part of their group photo article which they publish throughout the year. Artsy Shark  is an online art promotion platform that specializes in showcasing artists through  individual articles that present their portfolios and tell their stories.  Great way to start the New Year! ...... Looking forward to even more exciting things to come this year!
