Year in Review: 2020

What a year. I’m not sure if anyone had the year they thought they would when 2020 started. I know I definitely didn’t. So many events I was looking forward to were cancelled and many that continued on were mostly spent unseen during the initial shutdown because of COVID-19 and subsequent orange zones.

Each year I like to look back at the year and review my progress. Even though things didn’t go the way I planned or hoped, it was still encouraging to see my progress put together.

What's In Store for 2021

Short answer – I’m still in the planning phase. The next couple of months will be filled with creating for an upcoming show this spring. Other than that I’m looking at the different opportunities out there and reviewing my goals for the year ahead.
