Arizona retrospective..

Well another year is coming to an end and we are gearing up to head out to the southwest for shows, teaching and trunk shows. We have grown to love the desert and all the wonderful friends we have made there. I'm going to share some of the photos we have taken from our past trips. Most of them are Arizona but there are a few New Mexico shots in the mix.

Friday and Saturday Shows

Judie and Wayne are at two shows this weekend. Friday, the dynamic duo will be hosted by Art du Jour as part of First Friday Santa Cruz. Saturday, they'll be at the Aptos Farmers Market located at Cabrillo College.

First Friday Santa Cruz is a monthly event for folks interested is seeing art in all forms displayed conveniently throughout our lovely town. It's a free event and a great way to see great art. Art du Jour, a lovely gallery in downtown, is hosting Judie and Wayne as part of First Friday. Their artwork will continue to be on display at the gallery and available for sale through December 24th.

Saturday at the Aptos Farmers Market, Judie and Wayne will have a collection of finished pieces that will make wonderful holiday gifts. So while you pick up your weekly fresh produce and goods, you can shop for locally-crafted, beautiful, wearable art.

Avoid the mall madness and come out to one or both of these fun, community-based events. We hope to see you!
