Enjoy a baker’s half dozen snapshots of last Friday’s live performance and reception at Sweet Mabel Gallery. In conjunction with Pathways to Peace’s annual “Pinwheels for Peace” celebration, I created custom collaborations in exchange for a small, charitable donation.

Dozens of pieces will be hanging throughout the Fall including handmade tiles, framed drawings, hand-painted skateboards and customized books. Stroll in if you stroll by.
