Hi Dennis,
Been collecting your boxes for a few years, Looked for you at the regular art shows this year, but see that you were not there,
I am interested in a medium sized clock for our new kitchen remodel. I live in Brentwood, and would love to see what you have available in your inventory.
please call or e-mail at your convenience,
thanks

Hello, a friend of mine was intrigued by a clock I had hanging in my room. Not knowing the artist, I took the clock down and saw on the back your information! My Yaya has bought me your work when I asked her for a clock one year as a present. And while looking on your site with my friend I was and still am so amazed and inspired by your work!! I have looked online as much as I know how to in order to find you or where you may set up shop this year, so if you will be at any art shows in Saint Louis I would so so so appreciate the time,date and location. Will be purchasing one if your pieces when I get the opportunity. Thank you for the creations and messages you spread through your gift ❤
