On the Wall

Illustrators Club of Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia is hosting its 14th Juried Exhibition on May 8, 2008 at Pepco's Edison Place Gallery in Washington, DC.

My flounder piece as well as works by Jennifer Fairman, Zina Deretsky, and Marie Dauenheimer are going to be showcased in the show. Very exciting! I will post the lovely poster announcing the opening of the show as soon as I find a digital version!
