Life
imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life.
- Oscar Wilde  It's May! And boy! has it been busy. I have
a lot to
share with you, so this newsletter is going to be a long one. First and
foremost, I'm so happy to tell you that art work I donated to Camp
Sparky and Hope
in
the Face of AIDS got them a nice donation at their silent
fundraiser auctions. The bidders were very happy with the art work!
Isn't it wonderful to see how we cross our boundaries and come together
to support good causes like these. Life is good. :)
