A Great Big Thanks!

Thanks to Kelly Jackson Brownlee for the very kind post on her blog. I visit Kelly's blog regularly and yesterday my jaw dropped when there, looking back at me, was one of MY collages! Kelly and I 'found' each other via Illustration Friday and now one of my New York Fairies resides in Seattle with Kelly. It was lovely of Kelly to showcase my work on her blog and reinforces what I know to be true...that the online art community is just FABULOUS !! Artists from all over the world are supportive and encouraging, through their comments and messages. In the relatively short time that I have been involved online, I have 'met' SO many wonderful artists. It has been a joy.

I cannot overlook sending thanks to my dear friend Ginger Nielson. It is through Ginger that I discovered IF and thanks to her help I have this blog up and running (she literally walked me through the whole start-up process over the phone !) Ginger is a constant source of encouragement and I am not sure she realizes how much she has done for this 'budding artist.' Because of people like Ginger and Kelly and all the wonderful artists at ZNE, there is no doubt in my mind that 'artists ARE superior beings!'
