Collecting dust in my room no more!


An opportunity that couldn't be passed up:  featuring art in a fairly new restaurant located on Wealthy St. in Grand Rapids, MI.

The icing on the cake: being the only featured artist in the entire restaurant!



I recently received word from a friend that a local, independently-owned, crazy-fun restaurant with the name of The Electric Cheetah would be switching out their wall art very soon.  Later that night, I decided, "What the heck...it's worth a shot."  I e-mailed my blog to the owner, and before I knew it (literally, the next day) was speaking with him about hanging my art as soon as possible!







Prices on each piece are soon to come, with the exception of the teapot (a gift to my parents).  I plan to share, sell, and bring in new work:)

Also, THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT!  Grab a bite to eat and check out the art!
