Events & Exhibitions
As artistic journeys evolve, I hope also that I do. Since Mrs. Griffin earned my wrath when another second-grader by the same name took artistic credit for a Crayola drawing of mine, I have forever fought efforts to homogenize me into having one name- so please, when you see a painting signed as Evelyn's- please know it's really "Susie" who painted it!
