How I’ve managed so far! lol! I have access to an older machine and it’s been stable and dependable but it’s just me, not being either of those. My timing is off and I just can’t make it here. Like I said previously, been busy again. It never really stops.

I had since entered the Ohi’yo Art Market in May and got in, I’m also headed to the Appalachian National Forest Heritage Area for a demonstration/sales and then in June to Eiteljorg Indian Market in June! I’ve got my work cut out for me.

I just returned from VA from a fabulous week of learning with a talented, fun and easy going black ash basket maker, JoAnn Kelly Catsos through the Shenandoah Creates 2024 programming held at the River’s Bend Ranch in Stanley, VA. I completed 6 baskets with her and time spent was very informative and also inspiring. The only way I got to attend was through the CRNY Artist Employment Program through the Seneca Nation here in Allegany. I have been very fortunate to be able to have this opportunity. And I am blessed for my support team.

A lot going on with more to come, no end in sight but I will try to keep you up to date on my happenings. Exciting time…
