2018 The Year in Review

2018
was an eventful year at Studio 419.

First came the name change,

from Dan's Recycled Art to Studio 419.

The year started with the Affiliates Artist show at 

Riverview Renaissance Center for the Arts.

==========================================================

In April I was the featured artist at

An Octopus's Garden. 

This has become an annual event for Earth Day.

======================================================

June was a busy month.

I completed Community Spirit

for Homan Park in Swedesboro

                

                         

======================================================

Also in June

I held my first Open House and Sale 

at Studio 419

=========================================================

In September I began exhibiting
in an exciting new gallery in Swarthmore, PA

=====================================================

The year ended with Christmas sales 

at various galleries.

================================================

Of course, none of this would be possible without
my lovely wife and agent extraordinaire,
Patrice
