540WMain Art Show Reminder

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty


I'd like to invite you to my 540WMain art show opening.  My 
Brightscapes series is inspired by May being Chronic Pain Awareness
Month.  I wanted to create something to alleviate that chronic pain.
For people to imagine wandering around southern France.  To have
the warm sensation of the sun while hiking through fields of lavender.
To see amazing medieval towns as the waves of the Mediterranean
splash against the beach.  To be transported somewhere away from
that chronic pain they may be experiencing.  
So, please join us:


Sunday, May 6th at 4pm
