Salida Studio Gallery Photos

Below are some photos of my new studio - gallery that I'm getting ready to open by this coming weekend. Things are almost ready to go!

Salida is a beautiful location and I'm very excited to be in the middle of such beautiful landscape. Salida is known for it's arts community and the Gallery is located on First St. which is on Salida's downtown Gallery Row.

Many thanks to my great friend Michael Bucher for helping me with designing and creating my sign sitting there in front of the computer desk. I plan on installing the sign outside tomorrow.

I plan on having my easel in the middle of the room.

Yep.
