Artists inspiring the nation!

You never know how inspiring your work may be.

 From time-to-time I receive contact from people throughout the community complementing our exhibits.  Tisha's work at Zenas has been given many lovely comments just this week. Gretchen's work at Tutti-Frutti receives consistent praise, as well.  

However, last week an employee from the Lexington Administration building had the highest praise. He said that since our installation in July of 2011 he was inspired to begin painting. The latest works installed in January further added to his joy in workplace.  

Even though it would be wonderful to have more sales, I found his praise and adoration of our work worth more. Regardless of your ambition with your art, to hear the joy your work provides another person truly is priceless.  Kudos to you all for your talent!

Visit our many exhibits, and become inspired!
