Happy Holidays!
I will be away from the gallery from December 19th to the New Year. The gallery will not be open for visits and I will not be shipping after the 18th. But the website will be active and I will respond to email requests as quickly as possible. I wish you all a peaceful holiday season and a saner and more just New Year.
