Hi Jo,
It was wonderful to meet you today! Your work is special and you are so talented!! I know one day I will have a piece of your art here in my home. In fact, I’d love to host a show some other day down the road…if you are ever wanting to do a house show again! I’m working on Jason re: the nude. I’d love to see it in my house…could we test it out someday?!
VERY impressive site, thank you 🙂 Granny Ross is my GGG Grandmother, I live on the original homestead.
Hey Jo,
Your site is fantastic and your artwork (like all else about you) is wonderful. I love the photo of you and your beautiful daughter Julia. I hope to meet her sometime soon. Best wishes in your latest endeavours as Mom and artist…you are so very talented!
Cheers!
