Tucson Artist Colony

We have been busy putting together the concept of the Tucson Artist Colony and are pleased to see it actually happening! Brenda Semanick is the first to move in to the Placita and now Phil Starke and Chauncey Homer are following.
Greg and I will be busy getting the space ready at 2409 Castro which will serve as instruction and open studio space. We will also be making available 2 more private studio spaces and of course the courtyards at the Placita will host painting classes.
This is a dream come true for me and Greg.

Whew!

Well, I'm sitting here and that is good. We've made it through the sealing of the floor at the tattoo shop.
Whew! Those were some strong fumes.
And for some reason I've chosen tonight to figure out this blog thing. I think Greg is asleep at his desk and the kids are droning in front of computer games.

Ten years at the shop and boy was it looking ten years worn in. The place needed a new dress and it will be done by the end of this week and we will be proud.

The past ten years of being shop owners has shaped (maybe even warped) our lives. Sweet Maggie forgets that her last name isn't Maye. She has always been Maggie Maye - the namesake. Her teachers constantly remind her to add Alexander to her papers.

What does the next 10 hold????
