For the final artfest I was asked to be one of the main speakers during the artist talk session.

Over 20 teachers with 500+ attendees, it was a fun experience..i caught a fly off my face during the talk.

thanks to teesha for asking me to participate.

I also did an artist talk and q&a for the closing of my show with Michael Demeng  at Artisans on taylor. Thanks to all that came out as well as hanna for setting it up.
