Bringing in 2007
I hope you welcome the New Year in a way that serves you best. If it’s with a party and champagne, go for it with gusto. If it’s in front of the TV with a cup of hot cocoa, lovely. If it’s in your studio, amen. I am in Steamboat Springs to celebrate my husband’s

2006 Accomplishments
In keeping with tomorrow’s edition of the Art Marketing Action newsletter, I want to share some of my highlights of 2006. It was fun to write them down and recall everything.
