KG BUZZ - What's HOT Now?

 

Hello Everyone,

I am very excited to be involved in this Art Show benefit for Operation Homefront. Over 60 artists will be showing work, with 16 feet of space each. 50% of proceeds go to Operation Homefront, which provides emergency, financial and other assistance to the families of our service members and wounded warriors.

My VERY First INstallation project, which will be about the ocean and how we treat it, will be debuting at the show. Additionally, I will have prints available starting at $20 for 8x10 and sizes going up from there.

I hope you can join me in this great opportunity to support both art and our troops.
Let's Converge....
Peace,
Kristin G
